    Found this video series on YouTube. Yes there is some shameless self-promotion (ok a lot of self-promotion lol). Still pretty cool to see what goes into building a truck.

    My dad and a couple of his coworkers got to take a tour of the Kelowna, BC factory back in the early 90's. He's got a bunch of photos stashed away in a photo album somewhere. Apparently at one time they'd let you come in and watch your truck get built if you ordered one.

    Watched several of mine made in the Cherry Hill plant. Back in 86 . VIN numbers were say 1234 , but 1 was being fueled and driven out the door, and 4 was getting holes punched in the frame rails . They did not make them in order by the Vin. Said they would not build a order all at once. Wanted the guys on the line to think about what he was doing. If 50 came through the same , he may get bored and mess up.
