If your Papaw drove this in the 80's

That’s a good truck pawpaw

I started driving in 1984, first truck was a Ford blue Ford courier. You could roll down the passenger window without reaching far. You could also get stuck and 3 strong young men could pick up the back and move it out of the rut.

Black vinyl bench seat, four speed, no AC and heater came directly off the manifold...it would melt stuff if you didnt watch out.

Someone in the neighborhood had a 4 wheel drive luv, black with orange stripes, little buckshot Ns on it....I thought it was the nicest truck I ever saw.

Mine drove his farm truck around his 180 acres every evening checking on his cattle while drinking his Michelob and chewing Levi Garret

My grandfather drove this beast. White Thunder. Doors weighed 350 a piece. He was a Baptist deacon. Did not drink, swear or gamble, although he LOVED the stock market, which is totally not gambling. If he showed up wearing his sweatband, your arse was about to go to work.

I've been trying to buy a baby blue stepside version of the Chevy Luv for more than a decade now. It is now on its second owner in the family, but I ain't giving up.
Bought new and kept damn well, never hot rodded, and no rust.

I want that truck, but they just aren't cooperating with me.

Dodge has made some absolutely hideous trucks over the years.

I have casually looked for a 79 Courier short bed for a while. Would love to have it to mess around in.

Sounds like a great life to me.

Took my drivers test in a canary yellow ‘Luv.
No power steering for parallel parking. Manual transmission for the win.
