We think that Gary Randall of Brightwood, Oregon captures perhaps the best quality about the pickup truck - it's whatever you want it to be.

Here's "The Beast" and a quote from Gary:

"The 'Beast'. I love my Truck. It doesn't look like much but there have been several happy, stuck people that were glad that we came along. It is a 1966 Ford 3/4 ton 4 wheel drive with an 8 foot step side. It has a 352 V-8 4 speed. It has 37" Wranglers. If you are looking for pretty, it won't qualify. If you are looking for a good truck that does what a truck is supposed to do. It qualifies just fine."
