Have you noticed?
« on: November 01, 2015, 08:59:49 am »
There have been some really nice square body trucks in TV advertising lately.

Lifted 4x4s that are really nice looking. Two of Larry the Cable Guy's Prilosec OTC commercials contain three different square body trucks. These are recent commercials not 30 year old advertising. :)

Larry doing donuts: (my personal favorite)

If you look closely at the interior shots you will see the dash pad is cracked.

Oddly there are multiple Wrangler commercials with Farve that are exactly identical to the others but if you look you'll notice the red truck is not always a Chevy but brand X.

I've noticed those too. 

As I recall, Wrangler has also had several magazine adverts with a GM truck

I have noticed more and more square bodies showing up on TV.
Maybe one day your monster truck will show up on a commercial.

I ment the normal noise that Cummins make while running, that noise is not normally associated with a square.

I had a buddy in high school, 2 years younger than me, he built a rat rod ford pickup with a super short bed, chop top, super low, big tires and put a Cummins 4 cylinder in it. I don't know much about Cummins but I think he called it a 4BT, that sound right? He turned the injection pump up a little and that thing had great power, got up and went great, made alot of noise and had a turbo on it. The exhuast dumped right out the right side of the truck from a big exhuast tip. I wonder if I still have pics of that thing....

4bt is right for the 4 cylinder or 3.9 the 6bt is the 6 cylinder and is the 5.9 or 360 (but thats gets confused with dodges v8 360)
