Thanks for your indulgence guys but don't stop now. The temptation to spend all day looking at truck websites is still overpowering...

Dually and DJ1935, in an ideal world those trucks of yours would be the ones for me. Classic lines and stacks of functionality... But I confess, the days when I was prepared to deal with a vehicle that could be temperamental are long gone. I need one to start first time every time and over here that precludes anything older than about five years.

Don't you wish they would bring back those lovely classic designs with a decent engine and running gear - and brakes!

Shhhh....you'll hurt her fellings. She always starts and runs great. And brakes? well....most of the time. LOL

Trust in God, but tie your horse.

Here's my pride and joy, '96 Chevy 3/4 ton, 135,000 miles. Still starts on the first shot, purrs like a tiger. Tweaked a little, K&N air system, Flow Master 3" cat-back duals out the back. Oh, and the sticker I always see people pointing at in my mirror....

It's been kind of fun seeing what everyone else is driving. Here's mine...it's a 2000 F350 deisel. We use it to haul a three horse living quarters trailer around to ropings and horse shows. I've started to sell it on a couple of occasions to get into a newer model, however it pulls so well and we've never had a problem with it, so now, considering the economy, I think I'll just put another 100K on it and save the money!

Ok I guess I will jump in the mix here and show off my pride and joy.

It is a 1951 Ford F-1, been working off/on for about three years when its not deer season or another hobby like leather comes along. Do all of the work myself in my own little shop. Think I must have this sickness that won't allow me to pay others for what I can learn, crazy right. :crazy: I will try to get a more recent picture of it posted today. Anyways here she is....

Now this is looking more like my ideal vehicle - But I can't help asking asking where the restoration ends and the brand new truck begins?

Lovely looking job though!

Here is mine, bought new in 1990. Pretty reliable, two clutches, alternator, idler pulley, some batteries, brakes a few times and some oil leak fixes. Needs some little stuff like door lock fix and window riser mechanism etc. Inline slant six Ford F250 5spd manual w/overdrive. A nice companion would be this Austin Healy
