So... How many here still have there first truck?

I'm a MoPar man with a Minor in Datsun. I bought a new 86 Hardbody. I traded it for a 64 Ford F100. I'll consider the Ford to be my 1st real truck & still own it! It's a short wide bed with 292 V8 & 3 on the tree. What with 312 'G' heads & a 3/4 race cam: It was great fun to drive. It'll get restored (hotrodded) along with the camera hog Charger once I get my shop built!

I've owned a few trucks, Chevy, Ford............... Last 35 years or so has been Ford, '84, '95. '99 Superduty and '03 Superduty. The '03 just hit 17 years old this month (265k) and runs like day 1. I'm 2 years into my '18 Expedition but the Superduty still gets used regularly when I need a truck.......
6 uh oh or the 7.3 ?
 
Trucks . Had a little Mazda , then a Mitsubishi , then a Chevy camper special with the 454 in it . All are long gone . 2 4wd Toyota SR5s , one totaled and 1 traded in . Bought a 93 K5 2 door Blazer that still resides in the driveway . Had 3 Suberbans with a 94 still residing in the yard waiting on parts removal . Currently have a 2003 F250 6.0 powerstroke . Runs like a bat out of heck but learned quickly it's expensive to operate and maintain . :grin:
 
Well kind of, I bought a 91 Toyota Pickup 6 Cyl in 99. I drove it out to CO and back to NH sold it to my dad who still drives it occasionaly today. I told him I would like first dibs to buy it back when the time comes. 240k or something close on the odometer.
 
First truck was a Ford F100 6 cly. stick. Drove it for years and used it to haul home second truck in pieces, a 37 Ford 1/2 ton with a flathead v8 and manual trans. That one proved too expensive and time consuming to restore at the time, so sold it. For past 15 years have had an 89 Ford Ranger 4wd v6 with 5 speed manual trans. Stock other than a new two stage paint job. Only has 112k original miles on it which is a plus.
 
I have gone thru a lot of trucks, When I am done with them there aint much left.
My first truck was a '73 Dodge 8 passenger van. It turned out to be inadequate for towing a race car on a trailer. So I found a 75 Chevy 1 ton cargo van with a cracked block PO had changed a water pump and test ran it with just water and thought it would good for one night since it was hot at 10pm. Not when it is 8°F out. It split the block from freeze plug to freeze plug on both sides. I welded it up in the truck and it held for 3 years of heavy towing.
I sold that for an '89 Chevy 3/4 ton Silverado, mt first P/U truck, It was EX cab and 8' box 4x4 and pulled the race car like it was not even there.
Once I got out of racing, I traded that in on a new '94 suburban 4x4, It was the best car I ever owned, But I quickly realized I really needed a truck.
So traded that in on a '96 Silverado, EX cab, 8' box 4x4 1/2 ton, I put that poor truck thru hell for 17 years and 325K miles. I could not even guess how many times it was completely airborne while playing off road. I finally sold it because it never gave me a problem, Nearly everything on it was still original and I was worried that at some point soon something should start wearing out.
So I found my current truck, 2011 Silverado, EX cab, 8' box, 4x4, I found this was 2 years old with 8K miles on it for half the price of new. It now has lust over 100K so it is almost broken in.

My brother went in the Navy in 1979. He left his Chevy travelall in my side yard. It had about 3 feet of snow on it and around it. There was a plow burm in front of it. He came by a couple years later, we jumped it, he drove it out :) :) :).
I would have bet $100 it was stuck until spring.

If we said Chevrolet when I was a kid, my mother would wash our mouth out with soap.
When I spit it out, she slapped my butt :)
