The first truck that I ever owned was a '79 F150 Explorer:


I'm pretty sure that the first year for the Explorer package was 1971, and the last year was 1986.

Not sure if this picture is pasted in right, if not it's in my gallery. My '78 came to me without the stripes...who knows who removed them. It's got the badging and funky interior color, though.

In the '70s, my uncle had a '73 that he bought new. It looked like this one, only it had a camper shell and the spare tire was mounted on the grille.


I think the color was called royal blue.

I don't know what happened in previous post, she just wouldn't show her bottom!






Well, forget it, I really do have a whole truck, but can't get but half the picture to show again. Sorry for the post!
