    Nice truck


    My Favorite and I still have it is a:

    1975 Dodge Power Wagon W100

    360 Motor

    4 speed granny low

    Full time 4x4( NP 203 transfer case)


    HZ3T4Js.jpg?1

    I got the truck 10 years ago off a farm. It was parked under shed and I saw it when I was at the Farm buying some Turkeys. I asked the owner if it ran. He siad it did when it was parked 4 years a go. I asked if it was for sale?

    He said yep. I asked How much, well we dickered and i got it for $600.

    I came up the next week to get it running. I got her running and after rebuilding the carb and brakes I drove 50 Miles home.

    I dive it fairly often but I need to rebuild the Engine because of low oil pressure.

    And yes its rusty but I like it.

    Never Owned one, but after riding shotgun for quite a distance over rough trails and Desert, I often wish on a 1947-1952 Dodge Power Wagon.

    The Power Wagon is Jacks favorite truck too because Dad lets me ride up front and I can stick my slobery face out the window. Dad also will stop at McDonalds and get me a burger with no onions and let me eat it in the Truck[:D]


    I love to see dogs in old trucks. My wife doesn't like to drive in the Dodge because there is a lot of dog hair on the seat from Jack.

    I have had a few favorites
    my first truck was a 76 F250 ford 4x4 high boy 360 4 speed
    I also had a 64 ford I made into a 4x4 used a jeep independent transfer case and parts from a 74 torino it was a attraction getter
    I also had a few chevy 4x4 trucks I done as projects lift kits eng rebuilds paint . but never kept any photos [:(][:(]

    I did just buy a 97 GMC z71 I know it does not sound that great
    to many I am sure but here in Ohio a rust free anything even a few years old is rare but a 20 year old truck is a rare find at a reasonable price anyway
    this one was bought new by a local fellows dad and he kept in the garage as he spent most of his time in Florida

    This is the classic 1998 Nissan Frontier, 4WD with stick shift.
    Towing my home made snow plow.


    IMG_0377_zpsc52d4427.jpg

    This truck is little, but it is a bad *! With the little 4 cylinder engine it will haul a load.

    I built an addition onto my log cabin 2 years ago. Everything that wasn't a log, was carried up that mountain in the little Nissan.
    Including, lots of 16 foot 2x12s and 2x10s.
    You wouldn't think you could haul a 16 foot board in a Jap truck with a 6 foot bed, but, you can!

    I knew an A&P mechanic once that had one and it had an all aluminum body which he striped and polished.
    That thing was beautiful but would blind you in the bright sunshine.

    Friends of mine's Uncle Ray had a Peter Built I really liked.

    Now I think of it my dad's cousin was a trucker in Japan. He had one of those trucks with all the flashing lights and samurai or was it an Oni painting. Think 1970's so they weren't as done up as they are now in Japan.

    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche

    This is my last one. 2000 Dakota R/T

    2000RT_zps8dbf1e23.jpg?1502915355240&1502915358157&1502915359492&1502915365677

    My current daily driver is a 1998 Dakota Sport w/ R/T package (this was 1st year production)

    In the past I had a 1958 Chevy 3100 w/ a Mopar 413 in it (first truck). It was replaced with a 1959 Chevy Apache w/ a 1957 283 Dual Quad engine. Too bad it had the stock manual truck trans w/ creeper! That engine was wasted in that truck.

    What I've drooled over since 1970 or so, and still seek, is a FORD F-100 (53-56) or a 55,56,57 Chevy (and a Cameo Carrier would be a dream)

    My favorite truck was actually an SUV; specifically a 1986 Toyota 4Runner SR5! Damn, I hated trading that 4Runner in, but with a growing family we needed 4 doors, so we replaced it with a 1993 Toyota 4Runner SR5. Of all of the vehicles we've owned, the 86 4Runner is the one I'd like to have back; even over my old 70 Chevy Z28 Camaro!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!

    This is probably my favorite truck. A 1989 Ford F-250XLT. It has a 460ci, 4:10 gears, 45 gallon after market back fuel tank and all the extras. This truck runs excellent, but only gets 10 mpg. The paint on the front end is nearly gone now. It doesn't have a bit of rust through. I'm thinking seriously about getting a good paint job on it. I think it would probably cost between $2,000.00-$3,000.00. If I would try to buy a new truck set up like this one it would be over $50,000.00.

    My first truck was like this one, same color and age. I bought it while in high school and made $14.00 a month payments on it. It hauled a million bale of hay and several nice looking girls.

    Well, at least a couple of them rated the moniker of "pickup" and one was close to "truck".

    59 F600 flatbed, 22" Budd rims, front bumper you could sleep on. Cab mounts were gone, side windows cracked, passenger door held closed by a rope. Plenty of rust. I was the only one who could leave the local bar after the lot filled up... nobody wanted to park close to her for some reason.
    Left many a muscle car pilot wondering why his gal was perched up in that ol wreck instead of his brand new daddy bought racecar. [8D]

    My favorite was a 1998 GMC Sonoma Highrider. It was a great little truck and badazz in the snow. Mileage sucked but it was a good truck.

    I guess the Tundra I drive now is my favorite,but I bought a 57 Chevy pick up years ago when old vehicles were cheap.I think I paid $300 for it.Had it painted,drove it for 5 years and during that 5 year period the price on old trucks went through the roof.I sold it for $5000 and bought a new pick up.
