Retiring the '74.
In 1974 people still bought pickup trucks because they needed something to do a job. And the pickups were made to work. About this time the city boys started liking pickups because they looked macho and he could do some role playing. Then pickups started downhill. Now you have to buy a F-650 to replace your old F-350. Now I can't blame anyone for wanting to drive a pickup, you just set up where you can see and they are easier to drive. But it wouldn't be that way if we still had cars that people want to drive. When I was a kid everyone had SS Chevelles and Roadrunners . No kid wanted to drive a pickup when he could have a 69 Camero or a Dodge Charger.
Now we have the pavement pounders. Big trucks with big tires and way high lifts that see 99 percent of their life pounding the pavement. We love our mud trucks but I sure as heck wouldn't build on to drive up and down the road.
I saw a bumper sticker that said" The taller the truck, the smaller the ---- (male organ). I can't say as I have ever researched that one, but it may have something there. Ok, I got you pavement pounders stired up yet?

Yeah, they could be medically retired, but since they're Fords that wouldn't work. What about the retirement party and the fun stuff?

You know the "replacements" are supposed to respect their elders. What does that mean??
And also you know that the new recruits need to be trained by the outgoing "employees".

Back when I was a kid, I was loaded up and driven 50 miles with a ten - ton load, EVERYDAY! Now you kids only have to take a 7-ton load 8 feet once a week, and you still complain!
