A sad day

I had to finally park my '67 F-100. It was a daily driver up untill a couple of days ago. I'm hoping to find a new intake and an exhaust manifold for it by the spring. Even when it runs again it probably won't leave the farm anymore.
So I went out and bought myself a used 1998 Ranger and I have to admit it's a lot easier to drive. Of course power steering, brakes and heat are nice to have, but I miss my rusty old truck.

I have a 96 F-150 S/C, loaded and a 97 F-250 PSD. Except for the lack of a/c, I would rather drive my 68 F-250 with power nothing. And I sorely miss my 72 F-250, 300-6 that I leave in Alaska now. She is rusted and forlorn, did me right for 15 years and is still the best truck I ever owned. Just like a good woman or a good dog, not many come your way in a lifetime to compare.
