'68 C-10, 283\, V-8, "3 on the tree", pull knob choke. Drove it for years with a length of well casing wired to the exhaust manifold. Sounded "SOOOO" kool. LOL

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.

1967 Ford F150 shotbox 4 x 4. Has 390 with 4 speed and auto hubs.
My son had it now. 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!
