that first one may very well be ours when we got it was missing the plastic molding on the right side, clear coat peeling, and the emblem was fallen off and only black. The only diffrnece is the wheels when we got it had the wheels it has now but I can't tell those may be the same wheels. Here is how it looks now:

and when we bought it:

Is this the truck?

I thought it was a different truck at first because the one in the link was in Colorado, and the one I took the pic of was in Michigan, but I think you are right. Both have the same tires.

There is a pair of bedrails like those on CL now off an '80 for $100.

The tires are actually how I made the connection. They're pretty uncommon tires.

BTW, the link didn't work for me.

It looks like he just copied the URL by swiping his mouse cursor over a shortened link. That won't work, it's been shortened and he needs the full-length one.

I saw this one a few weeks ago, not sure what year it is,



I know it's not a truck, but still a interesting vehicle. I saw this when I was in Nashville in October.

I love the lack of proper punctuation in my posts from back then. I was fresh out of high school, and one month later I started college, where I finally learned how to use correct punctuation in my English Comp I class. It's pretty sad looking back at my old posts, as it really shows what public education has become. I should have transferred to the high school I wanted to attend when I had the chance.
