Well I won't lie Mark. My dad cosigned for me and I was only 17 when I bought it. I had the truck before I could legally drive it. It was a brand new 79 F-150 Ranger XLT. I had it about a year and a 1/2 untill I wrecked it (young and stupid) and have loved these trucks ever since. Here is how it looked after it's first year. I think there are some wrecked pics in the gallery.
