Been driving Toyota pickups,cars, vans and Highlanders ever since. Only made one mistake in all those years when I bought a 2002 F150.

71 Ford f350. Got it around 77-78. No power steering and it bounced so bad you had to unroll your shirt back down every time you got out. It got about 8-10 mpg and I complained about gas back then even though it was around .50 a gallon.

My first truck was a 2-wheel drive Dodge. I don't Rember the year. But the options were either a AM radio or a rear bumper. Bing a fitter I could build my own rear bumper. So, I settled for the radio.

I bought a brand new F250 with the extended cab, heavy suspension and extended bed in 1998. It was fully loaded for the time. It had a 6 disc changer and an electronic compass, that was surprisingly useful. It was way to nice for what I used it for. A buddy of mine said I should take a hammer to the side of it, so I wouldn't feel bad when I inevitably tore it up.

I almost bought a brand new F350 dually instead. I was approved and started signing the papers and then started thinking about how my house at the time was $60,000.00 and the truck I was buying was over $58,000.00. I said I needed to sleep on it and abruptly walked out of the dealership. The poor salesman called and apologised for anything he did wrong for months. He really wanted that commission.

I currently have 2 old Rangers, one of which we only drive on the farm, because the frame is rusting out, a F250 diesel and a 28' box truck.

66 jeep pickup. 6 cylinder with a 3 speed on the column. It was sweet. The door handle on the drivers side had broke off and someone had welded a bolt on it for a handle

My second truck was an 82 Chevy stepside 2wd with a straight 6 and three on the tree. Nice looking truck, but pretty much worthless for any real use. It got stuck a lot. And a fat kid on a bicycle had more power.

I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

I don't think I've ever seen one of those in that color before. Very cool.

1964 F-100, 2x4, standard tran/on the column. I paid $375 for it in 1976, and thought that was a pile of money for an old truck. Three years later I paid $725 for a 1973 F-100. Try getting a 6 year old 1/2 ton for those prices today.........even figuring inflation!
