Bet you got decent mileage out of those stone tires. Getting up to enough speed to pop the clutch played heck on the soles of my bare feet but the floorboards were so shot I didn't have to leave the cab! Moosetrot

It was one of the first trucks with carpet, I got laughed at a lot because it had carpet in it. I bought it off the showroom floor. The color was red-orange, it was noticeable from a distance. It had a 350 V8 engine in it. Life member NTA

Also had a 71 ford ranger for a work truck. Got that for $1 from the guy I worked with when he lost his license to DUI and couldn’t drive it. Sold it to me for a $1 with stipulation I take him to work daily and help him keep it running. We had all of our framing tools in that truck and both needed it. Spent a lot of time in junkyard looking for parts for that thing. Last edited by jabNE; 09/05/24 07:14 PM. Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
