LOL. I have to admit that I honestly stopped and just looked at my truck for a few minutes this afternoon when I came up the driveway. And seriously considered taking a picture. I'll give the "proof of life" tomorrow. LOLJeff has a good point, it is kind of cool in a twisted way that they picked my truck, but I guess it looked the part that they wanted with a poor pitiful rough F-5 as a "before". They definitely couldn't have used Harleymsn's truck or Jolly Roger Joe's trucks, for example, because they're nice and shiny.
(Who would have ever thought that psychotic steer would become so famous? LOL)

Doc, I had to pause the video to take a good look at your truck. It's such a nice looking truck. I couldn't watch the whole video. Of course people have to stop and look, it's kind of like a car wreck, everyone slows to see the carnage.

Were the Marine Corp. Paychecks from the U.S. Navy back then? I know they were when I was active duty. (1985-1989) So I considered Marines our Big Brothers
I tried to become a Marine before USN, but I couldn't get an MOS I wanted.
Marines are serious dudes!

Well Doc, even their idea wasn't original... take a look at this pic dated 2010:

Yeah I think that one single video did a lot of damage to their little endeavor. The youtube comments are basically just one insult after another. I showed that video to my dad this weekend and just told him to pay close attention without telling him why. He was not too happy either when he exclaimed "THAT'S YOUR TRUCK!!!". I explained it was just some dip****s out there in make-believe land trying to make an easy buck and break into show business. Just out of curiosity, I did a google image search on Ford F-5's. Hundreds of trucks pop up instead of mine. They must have been browsing the net for a pic about the time I posted that "Trade a steer for an F-5" thread.

Hey Doc,
Have you looked at your truck today? Hmmm....
Maybe it's not sitting down there in that field like you thought -
That dude with your steer came back & got it - Didn't like the hamburger
& made your truck into that POS!

When I first read this thread, I also did an image search on F-5's and no sign of yours. It turned up several pics of Josh's COE, Joe's (HarleyMSN), and a couple others from here. I have to believe they got it off FTE...

Wow Doc, I like what you've done with. it!! !
i have to admit that the checkered decopodge pattern on the hood really lured me in, then i started drooling over the enginweering involved with those rivits holding the windshield in. oh then i started noticing the other engineering marvels as well.
oh ya and the music in the video really makes me feel like a harda$$, think maybe ill go out in tje middle of a large dry grassy field and lightup now....
