re: If your Papaw drove this in the 80's

Paw Paw was dead for nearly 20 years by when the '80s rolled around. He was killed by throat cancer. He was a heavy smoker, if that matters.

My Dad drove a Ranger 4X4. He didn't smoke.

My dad had a black 89 z71 stepside. First year of the z71

Similar to this. He didn’t sMike



My grandfather who smoked had a 59 Chevy Apache aqua colored

Looked like this but was a stepside



Truck was

True Story


My grandmother's brother we called "Uncle Ed" had a truck like that red one, he drove it for 20 years at least until it was a piece of crap.

One day while going around a curve the door came unhinged and Uncle Ed rolled out in the ditch, problem was his wife was on the other side ridding shotgun and had never learned to drive.

The truck kept going down the road until it finally crashed, she had never moved.

After it was all over they survived bruised and beaten up and we all got a good laugh about it.

If I had a quarter....

You just know she never let him live that down.

My grandfather literally drove a Chevy Luv, but he smoked Vantage.

I remember my grandfather had a red and white 1984 Ford pickup. He drove it around for about five years then sold it cheap to my old man to use as a work truck. He then used it for about five or six years. By the time he was done with it, it was all beat to hell but still ran great. My old man sold it to some guy who was buying it for his kid as a first vehicle. This was in 1997. I got to school one day and see that damn truck parked out in the parking lot. It seemed like the damn thing was following me around for 15 years.

I briefly drove a Luv truck. Those were tiny back then even. My brother put fat tires on one and use to drag race it in Memphis. Good days.

My Paw Paw always drove Buicks

His last one was a 94 or 95 Roadmaster that was white with a red leather interior that I’d kill for today in pristine condition

My dad had an 80's GMC Sierra about that color. Well one side was red..the driver's side was brown from years of spitting tobacco juice out the window.
