Absolutely NO such thing as an ugly truck no matter what size, some are just more appealing than others. :wink:

Having said that the Volvo don't appeal :wink: to me.

Was coming back from Memphis from a family reunion a few weekends ago on I-40. There is a beautiful, black 379X with a 70" Unibilt that I've seen on I-40 before. Must be an independent trucker as he keeps that Pete shined up like you wouldn't believe. The paint looks like glass, the chrome (and there's a lot of it) is shined perfectly. He pulls a stainless steel Great Dane reefer and he keeps it shined like new as well. You can tell he's proud of his rig and must spend half his money on polish for it! 8)

Autocar has to be the ugliest truck! This beats Volvo's hands down.

I drive an early White/Volve/Gmc....... Ugly...........I kind of dig the way it drives and shifts though. I can get into some pretty tight spots with it.

Wow, that is horrible. And the worst part is I can almost hear the Hank Jr. blasting from the 8 track player.
