What is the first truck you ever bought?
Mine was a 1959 ford. Back in 1971. I gave $350.00 it. It was rust free. I don't have a pic of it.

Re: What is the first truck you ever bought?
Mine was a '70 C30 Longhorn in about '95. Bought locally off ebay for $300. Don't have any pics, but still have the tow hooks I robbed off of it before I sold it for $300 to someone else.

Re: What is the first truck you ever bought?
My first truck was a primered gray , white wheel and bumpers longbed with a 400/350 combo. I really miss that truck. So many memories.

Re: What is the first truck you ever bought?
1975 orange lowered stepside for $3200 in 1995 when I was 16. Im glad I never got rid of it.
My son and I will finish building it and then it will be his (when I die and not a moment sooner)

Re: What is the first truck you ever bought?
1965 Ford 1/2 ton, 2wd, 352 w/3spd. Paid $350 for in '90 and had put in a windshield and back glass since it was rolled over. Kept for a few years, lots of memories, some good some bad. Use to get stuck in between gears so i couldnt use 2 gear some times. Ended up selling it to my buddies little brother for $1000.00.
Now, NOBODY ask for a list of ALL the trucks we have owned. Some of us would never finish that list.LOL

Re: What is the first truck you ever bought?
I bought my first truck back in '04, I was 14, hadnt even taken drivers ed yet. It was a cherry '63 GMC, had a mostly stock 327 w/4-speed, for a 3/4 ton truck it was fast!! Would smoke all but 2 or 3 trucks in town...that truck was my baby, I kick myself every day for getting rid of it. I'd give anything to get it back!!

Re: What is the first truck you ever bought?
'68 long bed 1/2 ton. I was the third owner. Guy I bought if from, got it from his dad. He just used it for a "hauling stuff around" truck. Paid him $400 for it in '91.
Had a 283 w/a 3 on the tree. I did all the body work, new wheels, tires, duals...then BAMM...lady runs a stop sign. Caved in her entire drivers side, spun her around 3 times (she was ok). Just busted my headlight and creased the hood, and dented the grille a little. Her insurance gave me $1,800 for it and I got to keep it. Put the stock wheels and tires back on, and sold it for $300. Bought an 81 after that. Now I have an 86. So I guess you could say I keep upgrading

Re: What is the first truck you ever bought?
My 1st truck was a 65 Ford F100 swb stepside 6cyl 3 on the tree. It was my grandpas hunting truck that he gave me when I was 16. I definitely regret selling it for sentimental reasons.

Re: What is the first truck you ever bought?
My first truck was a miny 79 1/2 ton 4x4 with Black cherry paint, 4" suspension and 3" body with 38" rubber. I loved the truck but the time came to buy a more fuel economic vehicle and I sold it........... I did make a profit of around $4000 when I sold it.

Re: What is the first truck you ever bought?
58 Apache shortbed when I was 13. Never drove it. My dad has it now.
The first truck I bought that I actually drove was my 67. Bought it from my uncle when I was 15 and 16 years later I still have it.

Re: What is the first truck you ever bought?
Mine was a 69 GMC Custom 1500 2 wheel drive. Black with red custom cloth interior. I bought it from the original owners family that happened to be good friends with my family. I paid $250 for it and it ran and drove great. I had to work at my grandparents diner 1 day a week to buy it but I was only 14.
