Dents on the road

The first really good day of spring around these parts and I'm out driving, and I saw not one, but three dents! It's March 16th in Michigan, and these things are no newer then 31 yrs old. It's not supposed to happen. Did I mention this was in Flint, Michigan, the birthplace of General Motors?

The first was in a parking lot, rough, the second was being used for hauling scrap, rough, and the third was what appeared to be mint or VGC, gold and white Super Camper Special.

Couldn't help but think to myself how many F trucks are out there, how durable they are and how good looking they are.

Amazing.

I see maybe 3-4 per day on average, theres still quite a few in the south still in service, some are in bad shape and some are in good to great shape. Usually though its dd work trucks and they are still working and it shows.

A guy in my town drives a lifted 79 4wd, another guy a lil rough 78 2wd, every so often I see a couple on the road, plus my 79 and parts trucks, not to mention the many down at the mudbog!

There's about 8-10 around here, in various conditions. I'm the only 4x4 I've seen. Most have some rust but not too bad, motors are tired but still working hard, and theres usually an elderly fellow behind the wheel. haha

Thats in a 200,000 pop. city.

I live in a town of less than 3,000 and see upwards of 20-25 dentsides every day, of course, they're the very same dentsides day after day .
