My truck would certainly qualify. 1972 stepside, mostly original, OEM, NOS, or bondo (

). *I am slowly getting rid of all the bondo.

I have no intention of ever putting it in a car show, certainly not in a serious vein, and will be used as my "truck." This thing served my dad with aplomb for 20 years, moving several family members' possessions, hauling lumber, tools, motorcycles, 4-wheelers, even coal from an end-loader's bucket.

I hope to pull a cart or two, haul lumber, and use it on hunting trips. It will be "my truck" when I get it back together, and that time is drawing nearer, albeit slower than I had hoped.

I easily get "attached" to things and I am very attached to this truck but I have tried to prepare myself for the possibility of theft or destruction. If it is lost or destroyed, I will go and buy myself another stepside, but long wheel base or even one of those rare 1-tonner 9 foot beds.
