Our local fire dept had an early 60s dodge power wagon 4 wheel drive with the locking hubs. I have seen it plow snow so deep that it pushed it (snow) up on its hood. I believe a farmer finally bought it and uses it around the farm but says he has trouble finding brake parts for it.

Wouldn't mind a nice Dodge 2500 mega cab 4x4 with a diesel in it since you're buying Ross. Don't forget the back rack, fuel tank in the bed and a toolbox.

Dad's been driving my truck (95 F150) for 2 months now, now he's making noises like he's finally going to replace his old worn out one so I might get mine back.

So in two months he's managed to dent the crap out of the drivers side door so it will only open a foot, break off the inside door handle, and take the clutch completely out so that he's now "driving" it by putting it in gear before he starts the truck.

Says he's going to get a new clutch in it before he gives it back....I'm unimpressed. Looks like we're going to be having some more words.

No words Dale be glad your dad's at home. We gotta go break my dad outa the hospital Friday. Might make the news. ..... stay tuned. Mid 90's Fords are still real trucks we have a 96 F250 hd but they are cheaper to buy than fix.


Didn't the Lil Red Express come as Fargo's too?

Wow, that would be a hard truck to pick.

I sure do fancy the Jeep pickups. Not sure I could pick a year, but those from the 60's and 70's sure were cool.

I also have a real soft spot for the 47 GMC trucks.

Don't own either, and probably never will, unless I won the lotto.

Clove

You sure your not thinking of the black version called the Warlock it came out with a 400 instead of the 360.
the little reds were the fastest production vehicale made in the US in 79 they beat the vetts 1/4 mile times
Gotta love a good Mopar

My fave truck would be a 1955 five window short bed power wagon with the hemi option.
the choice in a car would be a 71 hemi Cuda with gills .
but Im happy with the 64&1/2 barracuda parked in the barn

Thumbs up Just 1 favorite......no fair

I currently have 5 '73 to '78 F-series fords "I know they went til 79 but I sold the 79 I had" ranging from F150 short bed up to a F350 Supercab.

I guess the one I like the most would be the '78 XLT Ranger shortbed 2wd.
302 A/T just a real enjoyable truck to drive and it hauls a load pretty well too.

I guess it would be either a '78 F-150, long wheelbase regular cab in Bahama Blue or an early '90's F-250 or F-350 single rear wheel with a club cab and towing package.

I don't have it .....yet, but my all time favorite would have to be a 1966-73 Ford Bronco 1/2 cab.....Second choice would be the regular bronco in the same year range. I've been wanting one of those since I was in high school. First came college, then came marriage, then came kids.....Oh well, you asked what my DREAM truck would be LOL...

P.S. If anyone knows where I can find one as a project truck cheap, let me know. Everything I seem to find is listed at more than the original factory delivery price LOL.

they are a bit different .
that little 273 cid engine makes 235 HP with factory forged pistons, forged steel crank, and still got better than 18mpg in town and closer to 28 on the highway.
the 64&1/2 has a on the floor cable shift automatic .
the year they came out they set numerous records on the race circuit .
A nice little car built for drag racing.
I may have to head up your way to pick those up I need a rear quarter
