Parts Haulers (Pickups)

I've noticed the big trend towards huge, lifted, diesel crew cabs these days when it comes choosing a truck to haul car parts and do the occasional tow job. Everyone seems to want the big mufflers, huge blow off valves, shoot, I think some guys even add engine breaks to their "rigs". Come on, how many of those guys really use those rigs for super heavy usage?
With that said are there any guys on this forum who use simple pickups for hauling their parts and cars? Is their anyone out there that simply grabbed a nice 74 and earlier Dodge pickup, slapped in a beefed up 360, and does their hauling with something simple? Post up some pics if possible.
