So this is one of the trucks that I told yinz I used to see just about every day. Not trying to imply anything here either, each time I saw truck being driven it was a women behind the wheel. Again not trying to imply anything about women drivers. I just want to make that clear. Also the ironic part here was that a couple of weeks ago I took some pics. of this truck on my old phone. But before I could upload them to my computer, I had an internal failure with my phone and had to get a new old. I ended up losing the photos. Then the other day I was searching on Coparts website looking for dents.(Of which there is a lot of them) Anyways I spotted the truck on the site and recognized it and the location of where it is at, since it is literally just over the hill from my house. So I drove past there today and took these pics. What a shame. I just hope whoever was driving it at that unfortunate time is ok. It looked as though they may have gotten the steering wheel into their chest. The to section was bent about 75 degrees to the column. Fortunately though there was no blood in the truck.

I had a '74 Ranger XLT just like that for my first vehicle when I was in high school. Midnight metallic blue. It wasn't real clean, but it was pretty straight. That is it was until it tipped over one night....

Saw this today while working on one of the gf rental houses. He's also got another black short box but not nearly the same shape.

So you know you have it bad,,, and everyone else knows you have it bad, when a new 60's-70's Ford truck shows up in town, or shows up for sale locally, and you have at least 5-10 people call you or stop you and let you know!

But I thought that was normal. Guess I was wrong.

Saw this one at a used car lot about an hour east of where I live. Looked like they use it as a lot truck. Doing duties from plowing to taking out the trash.
