this was my baby for several years, until it got totaled from being hit in the rear at a high rate of speed







I sold it to a guy in town, he's still running it

A Chebby van hit me at a red light. Hit me so hard the bed dented the cab halfway up the posts by the back window. after that, the top of the bed touched the cab.

It was a sweetheart, I bought it from an old man who had it in his garage for 20 years. it had only 43,000 miles on it. It was a NEW 86. I miss it.

There's a late 1980-1981 F350 chassis cab that I keep seeing behind my college. Seen it about 7 times in the last two weeks. I need to snap a picture of it. Normally I don't care for chassis cabs, but lately I've really gotten into them, especially with flat beds. May pick one up some day when I move to Nebraska to use as a farm truck.

I went to Fall Jefferson today and come home with nothing but soaked clothes and some Bully pics.

Me being lazy and not wanting to walk any further to get a pic...


But I caught up with it later in the day for a closeup.


'86 that was for sale. Not sure what he was going to drive back if he sold it.


Nice little 80 or 81 Custom


'86 F350 4x4... I was in love.




'80 Ranger Lariat, all original, $6600 and you could of driven her home.


You can sort of catch the factory CB mic on the lower edge of the steering wheel.
