Looking back in the early 1970s, I remember while driving wreckers at Lake Tahoe, I was riding shotgun with my brother in law in one of his 5 1971 W300 trucks, we stopped at a stop sign and a young kid in a souped up chebby 3/4 ton 4x4 looked over and said to us 'lets see who can pull who'...so Ian obliged by saying 'sure', 'except that I don't think it ould be fair! The kid insisted..So we met in a vacant lot, hooked a chain up between the two trucks, Ian said not to engage the front hubs! The kid engaged his...I started the pull...and of course...the Chebby went backwards behind the W300 all the way around the block on hard pavement! We won! Afterwords...the kid said he did not believe the Dodge would do it! Ian replied: 'Anyone can own a nice little Chevy or Ford, but when there is work to be done, they always call out a Dodge!' Moral: Anyone can own a nice little Chevy or Ford, but the hardcores still keep their Dodges!!
