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.

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.
