What was your first truck?

I was 16 and mine was a 1969 chevy short bed step side 3/4 ton 4x4, no pics, sold it to a dude who just wanted it for the body and scraped the rest. What a fool.

 

99 trd prerunner loved this truck! but my first car was a jeep wrangler.

 

Sweet old Ford. I see the headlight of another 78-79 in the photo whats it?

 

....................1987 Toyota 'Black Thunder' pick-up
Next vehicle - 2000 Tacoma xtra cab, V6 4X4 Black sand pearl
Current........-2009 Tacoma TRD 4x4 4dr Magnetic Grey Metalic

 

1988 Mazda B2200. It was new and reliable, but BORING.

 

84 Toyota pickup. Longbed "deluxe" model, 22R and auto. Bought it right after getting out of the Air Force. Bulletproof mechanically, only thing that killed it was the New Hampshire road salt.

 

Thanks. It's my dad's old 79. We like our trucks old.

 

I've always liked the old Fords. Just in my family we have four 73-79 Fords. Counting my uncles and grandparents I don't know exactly but probably around 13-14 total. I have a 78 that has 1-ton running gear out of a 92 and a 71 460 sitting in the shed that needs rebuilt and put in.

 

I had an 89 S10 Chevy! Still running today with 250xxx miles, ah back when chevy made good stuff!

 

We have a few still hanging around but not 13-14 of them. It's a shame I sold that old truck. The kid I sold it to put some mud kickers on the back and ragged it out as his hunting truck. Last time I saw it every body panel had dents in it and the bumpers where ripped off. I'm trying to talk my Granddaddy into selling me his 79 F100 that is in showroom condition, it's not happening though.

 

Had this in my gallery from a thread like this before. Not mine, but exactly like my first truck.
1979 Chevy Luv 4x4..........lotsa luv to go around in those days....

 

I'm completely embarassed to admit this- but I can't find any photos of my first truck.

It was a 1999 Dodge Dakota- 5.2L V8 with a ProCharger supercharger pushing 9-12 psi to the motor. Made about 480 RWHP with about 468 ft-lbs of torque.

The very first time I drove it- I was test driving with the dealer manager- put it sideways across the interstate in 4th gear. I was sold at that point...=) It wasn't much for off roading...but the first time I walked a ricer...DAMN was I proud.

 

You can "borrow" one from the web...my first picture is a "borrowed" pic...my truck was not ever that nice!

Great posts!!!!!!!!!!!!!Keep em' coming!
