Work truck

I just thought I should mention that the truck my area has been given at work is a '96 F350reg cab with 8' deck and tool boxes behind the cab. Some guys don't like it 'cause it's too big. I think it's a nice compact truck. Anyway, I really like having a real truck. We just had a little dodge half ton before.
Now before we all get excited, all the trucks on site a falling apart due to the oxidizing atmosphere. The '02's on site are already falling apart. Body wise.

It`s like that around here at the potash mines, sad to see almost new trucks getting so bad so fast.

I forgot about the mines. Yeah, it's prety much the same that way.
It does feel smaller for sure, but at least it's a Ford!

perhaps you should keep using the dodge around the mine...steal the Ford and put it in safe keeping away from oxidization... sounds like a nice truck!!
