New Avatar and Nostalgia

[bluec10]

Since my truck is in pieces all over the garage, I couldn't really take a picture of it for my avatar. So I checked the "archives". I took this picture about 20 years ago when my '68 was still doing active duty on the farm.

I almost got misty-eyed thinking about how I grew up with that truck. I was born in the '68 model year, so the truck has been a part of my entire life. My folks had a camper on it for its first 10 years so I've got great camping memories with the truck. After that my dad began using it to haul eggs to the city (yes I grew-up on a poultry farm) and I spent my summers going with him. I learnt to drive in that truck and I can still hear my dad yelling "The clutch, press the clutch!!!" as we headed for a dead end the first time I drove it.

Anyway, I could go on and on. I'd be interested in hearing some of your stories. Yes, our trucks are the best looking trucks on the road, but they reach a whole different level if they evoke good memories.
