It was one year ago today that drove home my new 55 F350! It is a great truck, original, stock, nice, but not too nice that I don't want to use it for work. I really like it. And now that my 54 F100 is running I have been driving one or the other daily and sometimes both. It is a nice running machine and it is a pleasure to drive.

Here are two of the Craigslist pics:





Here is a shot from last summer



And here it is today at work

 

Happy anniversary! Good looking and it sounds like you are having fun.

 

It is a sweet looking truck!

 

Happy Anniversary! And many more for you and your trucks!! If my truck wasn't going to be painted Navy gray to honor my Dad, it would be meadow green for sure. You've got a really unique thing going, Abe. Now, if you just had a meadow green 53 F-250 and 56 F-500, you would really have a fleet like no one else. You and your trucks could go out on tour like a rock group, or a collection of artifacts from a famous museum.

 

From one 55' F350 owner to the other, Happy Anniversary Abe! I look forward to you and "Jimmy's" new adventures in the future. Keep the stories and pictures coming!

 

That is one sweet truck, happy anniversary.

 

That's a very nice truck!!!

 

You got a deal on that one. Such a beauty.

 

that is a real nice truck,and happy aniversary

 

Envious of your trucks Abe.

My challenge is storage, so I (read better half) have limited myself to one truck.

We do like those Green F350s, don't we Abe. I sure wish I had mine back.

 

I am having fun with it but I busted my butt yesterday! I had to remove sod from around a lady's two trees and make a circle, then I mowed 3 lawns, then I used the removed sod to put under a tree at my house where I have been trying to grow grass. Whew!

 

I see where you're going with this. That would be nice wouldn't it. But see my answer below. In the late 70's I had a 55 Chevy car and a 57 and co-owned a 56 with my brother! He also had a 55 and a 57!

I've got garage limitations too. I rented space in a warehouse for the 55 this winter.

And thanks to all for all the compliments.

 

greeat truck and great story, abe. you inspired me to post the story of my truck and i thought i was starting a new thread not hanging it on yours. text and pic are gone, carry on.
