Rose colored glasses taint the view. I have acquaintances that use today’s trucks hard. They beat on them for 150,000 to 200,000. On the highway and construction jobs and for the most part they hold up.
The K5 was a sharp looking vehicle. It also was a tin can that would mame or kill you quickly in a serious accident. As would most of the others mentioned.
Friends had Bronco’s. Which was another tin can. They would crush your heart with the steering wheel in a head on, take off you head when it rolled and the engine had the capability to come into the front seat and take off your legs. The windshield folded up like the proverbial $2. Barlow, and you could almost hear them rust while you bounced down the road. Yet some think it is better than what is being made today?
