Do you remember your first ride?

Yep! I was in a 1983 International cab over. I was moving empty tomato trailers from Sacramento, CA to Firebaugh, CA.

 

it was a 1976 chevrolet vega. with a rebuilt motor. lasted 2 weeks before crashing becuase some idiot pulled out in front of me on icy roads.

 

I remember the first truck I drove for some one else, it was a heap but at the time I took alot of pride in it. I just bought my first ride bout 10 months ago a one owner 85 359 that is a really clean tight old truck that was a bargain and then I sunk a lot into it but its what I want. I still remember the first time I rode in a truck I was bout five or so a 359 127 inch hood with a 3408 CAT a thirteen speed and a four speed aux black with burgandy fenders and top. Went by Slow Poke on the radio to the bank he was Willis Barber but to me he was Uncle Bill.

 

Yea I remember the first truck. 6 months old, blue single axle 1980 white 400 cat and a 9spd. She's still around somewhere. If I could every buy that truck JUST to have it sit for the memories I would. After that it was a blue ranger then the dads old dumb garage experiment (dodge) and now I goats my Pete. Love hate relationship with all my vehicles. The white had problems with the air fuel ratio diaphragm, couldn't keep a clutch in my ranger, dodge blew an input shaft bearing last week, and the Pete eh that old girl has had her fiar share of money and cuss words spent on it. I loved them all but the ranger. Needed a hand grenade for that thing pull the pin and run like hell. Best thing I ever did was trade it off...#### rear main seal went out the day I got rid of it on the way to pick up my dodge. What can I say ford circled the problem from the factory hahaha

 

I remember my first day going into Canada up through Idaho over to creston
