I'm a senior and I have been driving my truck to school since last October. All my friends, and all the teachers and administrators at school like it, even my auto shop teacher and it sat in the shop for 2 weeks. I love it and I'll never get rid of it.

I still have my 82 which I drove in High School... though it doesn't currently run, I still have it.

My high school ride was a 77 Scout II. I did love that truck.

Bought it when I turned 15 and I turned 17 3 months ago....... Only thing I've done to it is put the aggressive tires on it.

ghettoluxury · 12-03-2009, 08:40 PM

Tex_50613 · 12-04-2009, 04:11 AM

the 76 (1999)

the 79 (2000, Senior year)

yep. well all the wireing under the hood that i needed to get it running. the only wireing left to do is the radio and heater, but ill do that while i drive it.

and the weidsheild is still busted up but as soon as its ready for the road a freind from work is gonna put a new one in for me at cost so i consider that issue coverd too. but yea i can start it and move it under its own power now just gotta get the trans finished and i should be ready to rock and roll.

dbmx66 · 12-04-2009, 10:19 AM

im in 11th grade, mine should be done soon, tho i wont really be able to drive it haha

rare86 · 12-04-2009, 02:36 PM

I drove a 68 Elcamino in high school, but my wife drove my old ranch truck when she was in highschool right before we were married. The first two are then and the last is now. WHen she drove it in highschool, it had about 260,000 miles on the second 350 engine, now its got a 540 hp 468 under the hood.

That is cool. And it's awesome that you still own it. If you don't mind me asking, do you still have the lights off the headache rack?

**truckfan** · 12-04-2009, 05:47 PM

mine is a close approximation. mine in HS was a '78 w/a 350. this one is a '77 w/a 454. same color and outfitted almst exact. the only pic i have from back then (1983) is really bad.

baggedcten · 12-04-2009, 05:58 PM

I drove my truck from sophmore year to senior year this what it looked liked 10th grade

Then my senior i got it bagged

which is how it looks like now!I wish i had a pic of it with the rims and bagged.

My teachers loved it always asking me how do i get in(shaved handles)but the school cop hated it

I would hit my switches and he would get pissed off

3r!c84 · 12-04-2009, 08:59 PM

Unfortuneately, the KC highlighters are long gone. Years in the West Texas sun finally did them in. They were awesome. Ive got to find some similar to replace them,or the wife will bug me till I do. I had friends that gave me a hard time about them. I had 8 total at one time and they said it looked like the sun was coming down the road. Builr many miles of fences with that truck and hauled many bags of feed with it as well. Could put 80-50lb bags of emu feed, a molasses tub, and two bags of dog food, once a month to deliver to a customer. It was a load, but did the job well.
