Me too, and I could add Ford to the mix if they hadn't sell their former L-series heavy-duty trucks (I still saw a couple of them on the roads here) who morped into Sterling, a division of Freightliner, and their current medium-duty truck joint-venture called "Blue diamond" with Navistar might be on its last kilometers.

Then there a even more rarer heavy-duty truck, the Dodge BigHorn http://www.olddodges.com/
