Mine was a 88 ranger 4x4 extended cab. Loved that truck. I sunk it,flipped it, anything you could throw at it just change the oil and it would go. Can't say such happy things about the expedition I got now as its a pos. My wife gets the decked out Titan, me next. I want 4x4 again, excursion

My first one was a 85 Nissan hard body single cab 4x4. By far the toughest truck I've ever owned. Totalled it when slammed my friends my mom from behind going about 45 mph. Have fun with this one Salty.

Mine was supposed to be a 79 Jeep CJ5 ...... But my dads wife was a gambling addict and he had to sell it ...... So I ended up with a 89 Mazda B2200 with a roll down back window that never worked ..... Thing was a piece of crap!!!!! But I did have a banging system in it!!!

Took my backseat out of my f-150 and had a custom speaker box built with 4 Kicker 12s. Then they put a seat on top of the box. Now my ears can't handle that!

Reel Bender 01-23-2011 03:14 PM

Mine was a 78 F150 300 6 Banger w/ 3 speed on the column 2 wheel drive with tires as Big as Salty's on the rear. I had to rebuild my tranny and rear end at least 3 times each from spinning the tires going into 2nd and sometimes 3rd gear. I got pretty good at re building, plus I don't know how many motor mounts I had to replace. I finally, puy a chain on the motor to reduce destroying the motor mounts.

I also found some sweet red buckets seats out of a new salvaged camaro that I installed. Built own removable speaker boxes with 100 watt equalizer, had 8 track, cassete and cb.

Salty 01-23-2011 05:11 PM

My truck is pictured with a 6" suspension lift and 38" tires. When I sold it, it had a 9" suspension lift, 3" body lift, 46" Goodyear Terra tires, Detroit Lockers and 4:11 gears. I still had to cut the fenders to get the tires under it. It wasn't "street legal".....except for Bogalusa. :cool:

I had a '76 Ford F-100 with an inline 300 6 and shift on the column.
It was my fishing/hunting truck. Good truck. Just drank a lot of gas
for a 6 banger.

swamp snorkler 01-23-2011 08:59 PM

In 1994 I bought my first truck before I had my license it was a 79' Ford F-100 with a 302 V-8 and auto tranny. I had to fill the oil and check the gas on that thing, i don't remember it burning a ton of gas but I was big balling in H.S. I made $7.50 an hour and worked about 32 to 50 hours a week. I had 2 8" Bazooka bass tubes, 2 Blaupunkt 6x9's, 2 6 1/2" Blaupaunkt in the Doors, 3 44 watt autotek amps pushing it all and an Alpine Deck. I paid 900 cash for the truck, used it 2 years and sold it for $1200. It also had glass packs on it that would rattle what the sound system wouldn't. I

Montauk17 01-24-2011 01:05 AM

My first truck was a 1978 k5 blazer with a 383 stroker,small lift with 35's. I sure do miss that truck,do not miss the gas it burned.

Ray 01-24-2011 12:03 PM

Used 1987 Nissan single cab 2 wheel drive wit 24,000 miles , huge silver stripe, tint windows, rims, boom box, painted interior light red. It was a pretty kicking truck got it right when I got home from the army in 1989.
Funny, took me a month to learn how to drive a stick. Really relaible truck and great to go and from college. Still can't get over dad putting me on his knee to spank my tail when I made it a lowrider not bright. Raised the truck bouth my 1st new boat and put 290,000 miles on it.

My first truck was a 97 2 wheel drive extended cab Chevy 1/2 ton with a Vortec 350. It was 2 tone, black with the thick tan stripe in the middle. I shackled down the rear end & put a 3" body lift on it with some 33's. Put the K&N Cold Air Intake, programmer, throttle body spacer, and one of them tornado things. That truck was FAST! Don't have a pic of it but have a pic of my Tahoe aka "Da Hoe" I had after that, this thing was a mudding machine!

97 tahoe for sale or trade - $4000
I have a 97 tahoe 4x4 that I would like to sell or trade for a pickup truck of equal value. The tahoe is white and 4 door. A/C and heater both work, 4x4 works, power everything. Text me for pictures @337-278-9398. Looking to trade for an older model truck that can pull a 5th wheel camper. Let me know what you have.

LaAngler 01-25-2011 11:30 AM

Had the first year 350 vortec in a stepside Z, at the time that was the fastest half ton on the road.


Raymond 01-25-2011 12:02 PM

This is a hard one for me, had a bunch of first trucks.
1978 IH Scout II, 345 4 barrel carb. Had it jacked up for a short time until it just suddenly decided to start rolling over. Did that twice and dad decided it was cheaper to drop it back down than keep fixing the body.
Drove his old company truck for awhile, 1980 Chev 350 with a Clarion cassette deck. It was fast for a stock truck but the bench seat is what I remember the most about it. Lot of memories made on that seat.:smokin:
