Might have found that 100% American made truck

Article in pickuptrucks.com

This customized Volvo pickup truck conversion was built in Dublin, Va., just 382 miles away from Louisville at the New River Assembly Plant. The truck has a 195-inch wheelbase, a 500-horsepower D13 Volvo under the hood, a Meritor RS 23186 rear axle with HD airbags and a custom crew-cab interior that includes a plasma TV, rear and side-view cameras, and a refrigerator built into custom cabinets.

    Not sure where all the components for this (Swedish) vehicle come from, but according to its website:

    I guess that's about as close as we get to "American made" anymore...
