I have one now...light switch in the floor, manual locking hubs, 3 on the tree, 302, side vent window, and floorboards that'll scald your feet. Love it.

How much trim did you get with that bad boy?

Have a 90’s Ford that still makes most of those sounds.

I fondly remember my dad’s 1981 Silverado. 305 V8 that probably got 10mpg. But hey, it cranked out about 150hp.

My first truck was a 70 Ford. 3 on the tree. Cut a hole in floor board and put a stick shift in it.

I've always thought the 68-72s were terrific looking trucks

This is why trucks were so much cheaper back in the 70s and 80s. And when I say cheaper, I mean cheaper than cars. Four-door trucks were extremely rare. Very few came with all the bells and whistles. Most were just utilitarian vehicles that actually served a purpose.

76 f100 fire engine red w black stripe Explorer model checking in. 351 2wd, back tires kept wearing out faster than front as a teenager ;)
Lots.of room in front bench seat ;)
Kept it until 84, by then the shitty metal in rear quarters made them rust out.

I had a footswitch on my ‘66 Mustang back in the day. Half the time when I switched it to brights the lights would go out all together. I found that if I banged the shite out of the dash with my fist the lights would come back on. It was quite a conversation starter on first dates. The lights go out on a curvy road and the girl would scream as I bang on the dash.
I married the one that laughed when it happened.

I bet his truck never has issues with computer chips going out.

Remember, I have one.

I remember Dad’s Caddy had the photo-cell deal and I thought it was as close to magic as anything I had ever seen a magician pull off.

Good choice. I hope…

Yeah, 25 years and 3 kids later that footswitch glitch made a good call.
