High points:
360
A billion miles on it
Runs like shit
Crazy steering play
Torch for getting lug nuts off (Ed)
Farm truck

Check out the full floating rear axle. None of the weight is supported by the axle, but by the wheel bearing (hence, it "floats"). This is seen in heavier duty axles. I think it's a Dana 60. 9-3/4" ring gear.

Hammond drove the 1/2 ton version of this truck in that Top Gear episode where they came to the US.

This episode also features screaming goats.
