My Dad had a small construction business. He always had a pickup I could use.
I had my own cars but didn't get my own truck till years after I got moved out got married etc.

It was one of my Dads well used trucks. Not sure on the year, Late '70's early '80's chevy 1/2 ton, 250 6, 4 speed 2wd.
He basically gave it to me.
My kids called it the "Boomer" as you could step on the gas and accelerate then let off the gas and about 2-3 seconds later you'd get a backfire.

That was the only pickup that I have personally owned. I had a small business that had a pickup that I again could use when I wanted.

I have never found the desire to own a pickup. They are a poor choice for a daily driver. Did own a 3/4 ton extended chevy full sized van for a while. was much more useful than a pickup.

we have a minivan, can haul 2 x10 x 10 footers and full sheets of plywood INSIDE it. Most pickups can't even fit a full sized sheet of plywood in side the box nowadays.

I find that I can get by without a pickup just fine and I don't have to live with all the downsides of owning one.

I got a hand me down 2 door hard top Impala that was gorgeous so of course I could wait to yank that 400 small block and 400 turbo tranny and stuff them under the hood of a rust bucket 74 Cheyenne Super.
The thing would run and I soon found some painted white mag rims to complete the lipstick on a pig look.

First truck I ever drove was an old International cabover. had a 318 horse detroit with a 13 speed. Went literally all over this country in it. No AC and real sorry AM radio. Armstrong steering, wedge brakes and a sleeper bunk about 3 feet wide. Bunk level with the top of the dogbox. I was young and the old guys told me I was lucky. talked about keeping a piece of plywood behind their seats and a sleeping bag. Laying the plywood across the seats and the dog house.

First pickup was a 63 chevy 1/2 ton with a 4 speed and 292 straight 6. 2wd.

Had to barrow the cash from dad to take the split rims off and get new rims and tires, if I got in trouble he'd threaten to take them back lol
