You guys are messed up there is nothing cooler then an old 359 classic or an old KW convential. Also the bigger the power the better all you need in that thing is 2 sticks. My bro bought a new classic in 85 it had a 13 speed with a 425 cat it was bad a$$. But he always wanted a V-8 cat with 2 sticks & that thing he has will haul a$$. I'll get a pic of it on monday & post it. Way cool truck Joker go for it. You can't put a price on cool I think.

After owning a few trucks(everything from an old aluminum cab W9000 ford to a GMC Astro to a couple of Macks(dump trucks) after owning a 359 with a 400 cummins and a 13 rr trans and the Gold Nugget edition KW with big cat power) I gotta agree with Allfiredup the conventional classic Pete's and KW's are the elite/cool of the road, even today, no amount of fuel savings with all of the aero trucks of today will ever overcome the cool factor of seeing a conventional classic Pete or KW coming at you on the highway.

Nice! Done deal and the Pete is sick. I took all the kids in the neighborhood cruising tonight! I thought Moe(the guy that sold it to me and my new best friend) was going to cry!

My son Chase thinks his dad is the coolest dad in the world too!
