Just wondering.
Me and my wife went on a local car cruise/car show yesterday (it started at 2pm and ended at 7pm). And there was probably about 3000+ cars or so. And I drove my ole rusty trusty 66 f100 and it was the ONLY one around. There was one guy that had a nice 71 f250 but that was it! Lots of 50s and earlier style pickups (ford and chebys).... I did have a few guys ask what year it was and a few thumbs ups as the day went on. But I guess I was really floored at my 66 being the only slick in the cruise! So my question is..... Are these trucks really that rare or what? I know another guy here in town that has a nice 64 that said he was going to bring his out but never did see him or his 64! So I was just wondering, how many slicks do you see at your local shows?
BTW I did love that fact that my 66 was the only one around!!

I do see a few on the roads as work trucks and what not, but now that I think about it Ive never seen one 61-66 f100 or 250 at any local car shows.

I went to a small show yesterday. It had maybe 100+/- cars. I was really surprised that sitting between the muscle cars and and a few Deuces were a 1962 and two 1965's. I guess it's because I'm paying more attention since I picked up my '66 a few weeks ago. But now it seems like they're everywhere here in north Alabama. I saw two others while out on motorcycle ride Friday.

I see quite a few out and about around here, but not too many "show" trucks. Mine is certainly in no condition to win any trophies, but that was never my intent anyway. I don't have that kind of money....still waiting for some wealthy benefactor to feel sorry for me and give me $100,00.00 or so.....

Most of these trucks are still "used" everyday and not many people with an old pickup can afford to restore them. I love the looks I get in my truck but I still dont know if its because its an old truck or its scary lol.
