Post TRUCK'S

are there no truck people around , yes my stang is my baby, but my old 87 f-150 is my daily work hoss it's a little custumised oop's needs a paint job , but has almost 200,000 miles with no major repair's except the cam gear let go , got that repaired , & it still keeps going , but i stay on top of my oil change's etc , i have had a lot of freind's begging me to sell it to them , but no way. i do try to let it rest for 2 or 3 week's at a time , it, s old & getting a little raggedy , but if it was a chevy it would probably be in the junkyard by now , well anybody who like's f-150's let me know you're out there - still stroking 300 6 banger granny 4 speed aka 3 speed

I love my f150 I think it is great. I love to drive it around. It is my dail driver and i will never own anything else as a daily driver. I have a 97 extended cab xlt 5.4l short bed. With the dual flows on it sounds failry mean. IT is way more fun to drive than the 96 mustang gt i had. It is smooth and dirves just like any car i have ever had. I think ford trucks are by far the best thing they make. I needed something to towe my mustang around with me so i fiqured and would try one out and i fell in love right away.

I don't know if you consider my Converion Van a "Truck", but I sure do love it. Great on trips, lots of room, but a little thirsty at the gas pump.

Have you been to the http://www.ford-trucks.com boards. Lots of Ford guys there.

Cool

I really like Mustangs alot as that I've previously owned two. An 87 GT and a 96 GTS. BUT I REALLY love my LIGHTNING! Especially since it would hang with my 96 in the quarter and then it corners like a vette in the twisties. Gotta love it!!

I have only had 2 cars and one truck. I have no idea what i was doing with the 96 gt. I quess it is cuz i got a great deal on it. But the truck i have just popped up out of nowhere. I actually found it at a GM dealership by accident, but it was just so perfect and they cut me a deal. What i really miss is when i was in high school my parents had an 78 f350 with a 460 talk about a ba truck that thing was awesome.

I like my Stangs over the years. I am even going to build a kit Cobra soon. BUT, my 77 Bronco still is my best friend. My Jack Russell Terriers love it too,windows everywhere.

Heres a typical conversation with wife,about Bronco.

Hey honey, lets take the Bronco. WIFE..No....ME..Why not?.....WIFE..Cause I hate that thing.

She wont answer why she hates it, just hates it.

Im thinking possibly because of the dog hair or the mud I track. Could be the grease though. Seeing the road under yuor feet,dont help either.

Mine currently has the driver door/fender off. Im fixing the floor board, (Tired of losing shoes) and anyhing else I drop. The inner fender is rusted is a spot, early Broncos suffer this.

I plan to restore it back close to original.

Rock City, ugg. I see more Rock City things here than Dolly Wood stuff. They must pay good to paint a barn with that on it.

I work a crazy shift 4 on 4 off. Wife is sleeping so im on this thingy.

I wont post again until monday night.

I used to have a 79 4x4 with military running gear and a blueprinted and balanced 428cui in her. I ran 39" bogger tires and with full posi-traction it was awsome. I used to race it in the mud boggs in South GA every weekend and it won almost every time. All I did was put it in 3rd gear in low low and stomp it and never change gears. This truck was fast in the mud. It had so much tourqe. w/4;56 gears. I sure do miss her. I almost love it as much as my stang---ALMOST. Was tired of tearing up the body every time I took it out in the woods. DO not think I could handle the bumps now with my old weakend body. Good topic Marty
