Ford should co-opt some other name, because this is the true Super Duty, and the only one worth recognition.
Well, Ford had to find a new name for their big trucks after they realized that maybe an F-350 BJ wouldn't have the best ring to it.
This is my step ladder.
I never knew my real ladder .....
I wish this was fake. I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Also, best Super Duty was Swiss Cheese Super Duty
Which funny enough, they used the same exact hoodscoop as a '61-'63 Ford Super Duty truck. Same part number and everything, just mounted with the opening facing forward
Youbetcha! Nowhere to go in traffic, got an F-250 in my trunk last night; getting pretty good at focusing the left mirror out and up.
My next car will be an SUV.

Six years ago I made my all-time best vehicle purchase, my old 1993 Subaru Loyale 4WD Station Wagon. 85hp 1.8L flat-four, 3-speed automatic and pushbutton 4WD. I loved this dumb little station wagon. It went everywhere in the snow and mud, never stranded me and never really asked for much. It wasn't very fast (55mph was 3500rpm, thanks to no OD, 3.90 gears and 23" tall tires) and it got horrible mileage for what it was (20mpg tops) and it didn't have heat (despite being my winter vehicle) but it was great, like a favorite pair of jeans
Then the rust started getting severe and I was worried about longevity, so I purchased a $500 ZJ and my father bought this off me for $200 to make his winter rig. He blew the interior apart to fix some niggling issues that I never bothered with (like the lack of heat) and introduced a whole host of electrical issues somehow, then tore it back apart to fix them. Then we found a junkyard car and got a whole set of doors and a hood and front fender, so he ripped the hood, front bumper and front fenders off to randomly undertake a 100-point restoration. Then he parked it outdoors after he got busy with other stuff, just to shuffle it around once in a while. The last time he moved it, it blew at least one brake line and now waits in limbo.
I want another someday.

I’m curious what those Lancias were doing in the Tacoma Dome? Those neons were so distinct and awesome!
Edit: I just looked closer and it fairly clearly says Olympus Rally above the numbers.
The 1986 Olympus was the last International rally for which Group B cars were allowed.
