Hey, my name is Oto, I am 21 and drive my work truck (a 1980 F250 Custom) around Vancouver. My first truck was a old, primer black F150 Farm Truck with a blown suspension, fuel leak and an giant iron slate on the back... I think it burned as much oil as it did fuel. After that I briefly had a 94 Explorer Limited 4x4.

 

Welcome. Don't be a stranger. Great place for info and conversation.

 

You got to love those trucks, that when you go upto the gas pump,you tell them to fill er up with oil as well as the gas!

 

Hi, Andy is the name, my first Ford was a Mercury Rideau that lasted 6 months and left a bad taste for Ford for 20 years. I have got rid of that with a 91 Ranger Super cab 4X4 with 4" of lift , a 4.0 with a 5 speed manual .fixed the t case myself and got Sportsman Light Truck to fix my front right axle shaft ($560 w/parts) so my 4 wheel works... good fun . Getting a straight bumper and a good pushbar/brush guard for $100 tomorrow. Now I just need a gas subsidy to keep my truck running!

 

Welcome. Where abouts in this great province are you. When you find a gas subsidy let me know cause I probably need it more than you.

 

Welcome. Sounds like a neat little 4x4 you have there!

Im curious what happened with that mercury that left a bad taste for so long?

Ro31kona is also from the kamloops area.

 

I should not have bought it, (Mercury) it had sheared the distributor gear pin twice ( I knew that) thought it was fixed , bought it ,drove for 5 months got towed home after going through a BIG puddle ( practicing for 4X4 even then ) and never moved under its own power again.

 

Oh man that sucks! Least you have a cool truck now though

 

Hey guys whatups, my names Trevor . From the Sunshine Coast


Current Ford is my 1994 F250..2wd w/ a 5.0 Basicaly stock with a partialy rebuilt motor and ive thrown on a flowmaster.. Pretty happy with the truck but my wife hates it, but that just makes me love it more

First truck was a 1985 S10 that me and the old man restored, had a 2.8 w/ 5spd 4wd, still miss that truck

My first ford was an 88 Mustang..had a 2.3? i think? Anyway it could sit there all day and smoke off the one tire. Had it for a while but took it off the road when i got my ranger... My dad went to start the car one day and it caught on fire and that was the end of it

Then there was the Ranger.1988..Didnt have many km's on it but it had been abused...Body was in good shape but the motor 2.3 again, i think? It was carbed and made bad noises as well as spray oil from every orifice. Cut the coils in the front ( a bit too much) and did a spring under in the back. Pulled the motor out and was going to use the 2.3 fuel injected from the mustang. Did a few custom things to the truck but list interest and time so we towed it off to the junk yard..Wished i had kept it though

Anyway heres my F250


Just for fun heres a pic of my dads mustang, try not to focus on the garbage can and empty box!

 

Very cool truck, and really sweet mustang!!

 

Thanks man..

The mustang would be even sweeter if hed let me drive it..but he wont

 

Pavel's the name - am a retired high-school teacher (Biology, not Math, so you don't have to hate me!). I'm pretty anti-social in crowds/meets preferring one-on-one human interaction. Married with a son and daughter - both grown. Picked up my first ever truck, a '76 F250 460 2wd Camper Special for $100 about 2 years ago and enjoy working on it. It's a weekend workhorse on the 'Sunshine Coast' that only that gets about 5mpg but runs well. Want a 4X4 F250 Highboy if I can find one.
Of the 2 dozen or so vehicles I've had, the only other Ford I've owned was a canary yellow '67 Ford Falcon '3 on the tree'. It wasn't (along with its driver) the chick magnet I'd hoped.

 

Who needs a chick magnet anyways when you know biology right?! Thats a cool old truck you have too

 

Thanks Preppy- the F250 is fun. I still can't get over how much room there is in the cab and under the hood and in the bed....

 

A BC Bronco that made it to Ontario about 4 years ago,
I bought it from the second owner and it was worth every penny,
new carpet coming from Bronco graveyard for Christmas.

Thanks for the Bronco guys
if any of you wants to drive another
1978/1979 Big Bronco out to Ontario
just inbox me and I'll be waiting with a cold Kokanee beer for ya.


Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all out West.

Rick.
