77 F150 reg cab 2WD campers addition. I think the campers addition is just heavier suspension and dual tanks. Clapped out 351M which I replaced with a small block Windsor. Load er up to the top of the cab with green poplar and there was still room on the shocks. Should never sold that thing.

1970 K5 blazer. Doors were so rusted out I had to put my school books in a backpack so they didn’t slide out. You could see the road thru the bottom of doors. Top came off from windshield all the way back. Piece of junk but I thought it was great. This was 1980.

My first truck was very nice. 2006 Ford Ranger 4x4 4.0 V6 5 speed manual. My grandpa had told me he would go in halfers with me on my first truck. I got my license in 2014 and started saving for my truck in 2012. I worked in the evenings at a local cabinet shop, put up fur for a local furbuyer, sold scrap metal, you name it. Found the truck not far away on Craigslist. It only had 39,000 miles on it and was in great shape. A school teacher had it. I think we paid 7500 for it and I contributed over half. This is when we brought it home. It was a great truck, wish I still had it ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2025/02/full-30562-247156-464678853_10233340470590524_1852405573256452348_n.jpg)
Gotta live up to the nickname...
