Here's the truck that was my first memory sitting in a truck. I was only a few years old sitting on moms lap barely looking over the dash. Dad worked for ford and this was his only new vehicle he bought for himself until a few years ago. A lot of memory's in that truck. My dad and I went on a road trip to pick mine up so that my 8 and 2 year olds will have forever memory's of my truck. And will forever stay in the family!

 

It was a 78 f150 ranger with a 351m 4x4

 

This is a cell phone picture of a cell phone picture of a Polaroid. Tis is my mom and dad in approx 1985. Dad started with a wrecked 74 and put his parts on, got sideways with the guy he bought the 74 from and dropped the whole thing off at his place with all his parts(approx 1986). I bought it from the mans widow 3 years ago.

This is the one that started it all. Seeing my Dad drive on that car like the REAL monster trucks was absolutely amazing. After he got sideways I swore that someday that beast would be mine!! Since buying, I put WAY too much money into it, even though it looks almost the exact same.

 

Guess its good to be 19, as i still have truck number 1/ the one thats starting it all.

 

Dad bought it new in 77, still here in the yard and my brother wants it, hopefully fix up someday...



The 82 F-150 was my first licensed vehicle, had it from 95 to 97.

 

The one that started my Ford pickup obsession as my wife calls it is my 76 f150. 300 6. T18.it is now my step sons. Here is a pic of him working on it

 

I'll always have my first. Here's what it looked like on day 1.
