Good grief, what's the exchange rate these days. That is insane

My 88 was about the same truck only rustier from MN. 4.9L 5spd 4x4 lockout hubs and long box. I miss that truck a lot.

I also had an 88 5 speed. X wife got it in the divorce.
I'm a healthen.
I never had a chebby,jimbo,or doggie post 1960's. You know ,when they were GOOD.
But I'd trade my Tacoma for a 65 Ford . Had 2 a F-100 and a F-250 4x4. I finally sold both for more than I paid for them with 450k and 560k on them and regretted it after.
I do like my rounded 2001 F-150 offroad.

That is a sad tale. Scouts were tough rigs, bet the turbo diesel was a torque monster.

Once got my 77 Ford F350 4wd shown in photo above stuck at a river crossing in the ice as wheels broke through. My buddy pulled me out with his "Corn-binder" IH Scout ... and I never heard the end of it!

Went out to the barn to take a picture of the ol girl. Wish they still made them this way, ide buy a brand new one for 50k before I spent that on the stuff I see at dealers today. I dont care if they ride rough, I don't care if they break down, I don’t care if I cant hold 75 going up a grade in colorado. Some common sense, patience, and a socket set usually takes care of any problem Ive ever had… Including a blown motor in Yuma AZ…

My first truck with my first deer. I was 17 but looked 13. Truck was a 1985 GMC Sierra, I worked part time at Kentucky Fried Chicken my senior year to make the payment which I think was around $180 a month.
Got my 94' senior pics taken with it. Was able to keep it for a few years but regrettably didn't hold onto it.
Found another similar to it around 26 years later.
It's a 1986 Chevy Silverado.

This thread is great. The first pickup I ever rode in was my dads 84 Scottsdale K20 and the cassette tapes he kept in it are responsible for my love of the band Alabama. It was navy blue but a red and white one is my dream pickup.

Love the old trucks!
Thanks, love the old girl
Jeesh. Had a 76 I met my wife in. Still have the back half of the frame for a trailer. The chrome piece in the middle of the tailgate on for the garage wall. Yeah lots of memories there.
Tried a diesel but didn't take long to change my mind.
I now drive a 1979 El Camino and a 76 F-250 with a hot 390. And my swamp buggy is a later 50s gmc.

My '93 is old, beat down, needs a refurbishing, but still drives after hard use for 30 years.
Color matched rally wheels?
Yeah the wheels match color. Is that uncommon ?
