Mine looked just like this except I had a Battle Flag tag instead of a NH plate:



66 C10 2WD - started life with a 250 straight 6 but later received a 350 V8. Kept the 3 on the tree transmission. LOUD exhaust. I would rev it up when driving by an empty Jordan Hare and it would sound like a bomb going off.

Had a 1999.5 (new body style at the time) extended cab step side gmc. 5.3 z71 silver in color. Had a fold up center console and that bench seat came in handy a few times in highschool. Never any problems until my sister wrecked it.

Beater 1993 Nissan pickup with a 4 cylinder and automatic. Slow as shite but served me well. Had it all throughout my years in HS and LSU. Passed it on to my brother. Looked like this.

First car, 1978 Chevy Camaro. First Truck, 86 Chevy Silverado, grey with a white camper top, that I inherited from my granddaddy.
I still drive a Chevy Silverado today.

The only Ford I've ever owned caught on fire in the nursery school parking lot and made my son cry. Will never own another Ford unless it's a really good deal

Partying finally caught up with her early one morning. Hello culvert!

Did your Ram have that signature crack in the plastic dash? Seems like all pre '02 rams aren't complete without it.


I've only owned 2 trucks, my first was a black 1994 SVT Lightning that my dad gave me when I turned 16. I drove the shite out of it through high school and college until the motor blew up in it. Had 197k miles

Got in 1996 a 1985 S-10. 2.8L V6, regular cab, long wheel base. Couldn't get out of its own way but it only had 24k easy miles on it when I got it. Had the original tires that I replaced one each of the first 4 months I had it as they dry rotted to death....



Miss that damn truck...

1984 Chevy S-10 with the 2.8L V6 5 speed while in high school. When I'd graduated dad and I replace the V6 with a 305 V8. We also had a 1979 Toyota 4X4 with 20r engine 4 speed camp truck.

Believe it or not, no it didn't. Great grandpa left it to me when he passed. He kept that thing clean and in the garage. Didn't drive too much in his latter years. It had 23,000 miles on it. I only had it for about 3 years. Apparently not enough to crack the dash lol.

Nice!

I currently drive a '12 Ram. Just hit 40k miles today. I plan on holding onto this one as long as I can.

'72 Chevy with a 350 and 4 barrel, in '76. It drank gas, but it was the late '70's so who cared.

1969 Ford Ranger. Born with a 6, but my uncle (master mechanic) swapped in a 351CJ. Kept the stock rearend gears and 3 on the tree.
I was unbeatable unless I missed 2nd.
