I think many of us were guilty of huge systems in pos trucks from our generation! Lol!!! I was no exception.

Now days, I'm throwing a fit when I hear em bangin down the road! Damn, I AM getting old! Lol

We had 8 tracks.

Toyota Tacoma 09 :)
Wish it wouldn't be so hard to find a tacoma 4 wd, until then, rear lock in system will work

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!

'81 GMC Sierra. 305 V8 with automatic transmission that was a piece of ****.
I had a lot of trucks, that vintage was crap... Engine, transmission and body

:lmao: ! I mentioned to my dad once about rap music and his response was, "Boy, that **** ain't music! Music was born on 8 track!" lol Thanks for a small stroll down memory lane!

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.

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.

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

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.

Mine was a '83 Ford F150 stepside. White with black vinyl interior with NO A/C! Some hot summers! Good memories from that truck though!

Pic is not my truck, but closest I could find online......

1981 dodge ram 1500 long wheel base...260 AC (roll down 2 windows @ 60 mph). Blue paint was faded b/c my grandfather used it to drive to work @ PPG...Vinyl seats no radio...

As time went on I added Mud tires on the back and kept regulars on the front...pure freakin Red Neck...added 2 12" kickers in the back and cut out the metal on the two doors for 6x9s pioneer cd player...i will never forget mud ridin with alan jackson freakin blaring and mud flyin'...good times...good times.

My F-100 didn't have a/c either. Strictly a fishing and hunting truck.
I also had an '88 GMC for cattin around.

Found a pic......boy she ran good and strong!!!
