Truck was about 6 months old. 79 F150 in 1979. Daughter found this old photo. She is 29 today and her my son in law are Ford drivers!




1979 year and truck. F150. First new vehicle I'd purchased.

 

First vehicle/dentside started driving it in 95, got rid of it 2 years ago when it rusted to pieces.

Now I am on #7 I think lol

 

My first is my only Dentside, bought her in May 1986 with 35,xxx on her odometer, still have her.

 

My first 1978 F150 Dad bought in mid 80's, I learned to drive with this truck in the early 90's, bought it from mom in 99, this picture was taken this past weekend. planning on finally getting the rust fixed

 

1979 Bronco Green w/white top 90,000 miles 351m 4 speed.Bought in 1987 for $1000.00 need u joints and headlight trim piece and driver side fender and door painted they were lt. blue .

 

Just bought her. A 1978 F350 Wrecker, with 351C and 4 speed. Already got her running and looking to lose the back and give her a tray again.

 

First was a 1978 shortbed two wheel drive Custom trim level F100. Had a 302, 3 on the tree and was baby blue with blue interior. Had ten more since then.

 

I bought my first 1978 F250 on November 22nd 1977. I still have it.

 

I had a buddy back in the day....who's Dad had one that color combo.....his also had the red on top of the cab.......Never have seen many in that combo...........

 

I bought a late '77 in 1981........SWB 4x4 Flareside Custom......Silver with the black pinstripes all over it.....wish I would have never gotten rid of it.......was the only Flareside I've ever owned......Got rid of it in '92 when I got the "new truck bug and bought a brand new '92 F150 SWB Supercab 4x4........Ex wife said "We don't need 2 trucks".........I got rid of her 2 years later........LOL

 

My first dentside was a 79 F-150 4x4. Bought it with 64,000mi in March of 1987 and sold it in 2014. Wish I could have kept it......was a sweet running truck.
Sold it to make room for the F-350 SCS I have now that was my Dads truck that he bought new in 1976. It sat neglected on his property for 10yrs. Has some rust on the pass. door from the blackberry bushes growing on it and the interior was pretty rough but its all replacable. Runs ok. Could use a newer engine (460). Its a work in progress.

 

Bought it Jan/2016... 1974 F250 drove it home from El Paso Texas to Indiana. Photos are from some pit stops along Route66

 

Purchased my first dentside in 1982. it was a 1977 F250 4x4. I remember my Dad telling me I was stupid because I bought it for $3500 (US Army sign up bonus) with 30,000 miles. My Dad purchased his 77 F250 4x4 for $4200 brand new in 1978. Kept that truck until 1994 where I sold it at the Ft Benning GA. lemon lot for $2000, which in fact was the real stupid move.

 

Got my first truck in 1977,f250 2wd A..s you can see I had it done up 35" gumbo monster mudders on the back, 33" on the front. Got bored with that and built a short box. Chopped 16" out of the frame between the wheels, got some 16.5" western cyclone wheels. Oh ya now we got one tough ride. Way bigger brakes, dana 60. Wish I still had it.

 

Mine was a '76 F150 Explorer 390/C6 that my Dad bought brand new from Gene Evans Ford in Atlanta. I remember that when it came in it was the wrong color (was supposed to be Midnight Blue Metallic) and had a cloth seat. Dad told them that if they would switch in a vinyl seat that he would take it. They took a vinyl seat out of another truck on the lot (they would do those kind of things then). I still remember driving home from the dealer in it. It served farm truck use for years and Dad eventually gave it to me in 1994 or 5. I did a mechanical restoration and drove it for a couple of years. After I finished my 78 King Cobra, my wife, brother-in-law, and I finished restoring it. We had it about another 2 years when it was stolen from the local Home Depot in 2005. I don't even have any pictures of it after it was restored but it looked like this one only with white wagon wheels.
