Here's what I grew up driving: 1972 Ford F100 Custom... Straight from the factory: 360ci V8, 3 speed transmission, even had AC, though the vent windows and slide vent for the driver's legs were pretty awesome as well. Ended up with just under 100k miles... Had to sell it when mom died, as I just couldn't give it the care needed to keep it up and running like I wanted to. I know it was rated as 1/2 ton, but that truck would haul anything you could get into the 8 ft bed--we'd filled to above the tailgate level with potting soil, hauled even more wood, God only knows how much lumber... It still haunts me that I had to let it go!
And this is my daily driver: Tacoma 4x4 Sport with most all the bells and whistles for creature comfort. The only things I've added to this truck are the low profile truck box that you can't see and the brush guard to discourage/survive deer kamikazis--had 3 different deer try to take me out the season before I coaxed SWMBO into letting me add it. I had to wait almost 4 months to have Toyota build this one on special order, as it's a 6-speed MANUAL... I was told there are only a few of those built per year:
Sorry about the small pic sizes--I'm not yet internet-savvy enough to go from the 7 meg phone pic to something that looks decent on here. And even with all this forced vacay time, too lazy when there's other things to do.
