1966 toyota landcruiser...

My dad gave me an option when I turned 16, he said he would rebuild the motor on the land cruiser for me or would loan me $3000 for a newer rig.  Unfortunately I asked for a newer vehicle and a month later totalled it.  He sold the landcruiser after I said I didn't want it... My uncle has it now and everytime I see him I ask if he's ready to sell it to me.

1969 Chevy Blazer 4x4.  Maroon with black top and interior.  Full removable top.  Put a 400SB in it.  That thing pulled tail way better than it pulled a trailer... blew the motor up in it being a dips&%t kid and sold it to a buddy for $1200.

Still have my my late Grandpa's 1964 Int'l Travelall, though..  241 striaght 6, 4 speed, 4.10 gears.  On the project list, someday.

'57 Chev p/u with a 235, 3 speed. Neat little truck but I sold it for $500 in '76 to save up $$ to buy my '76 F250 Highboy, 360 4 spd.. Bought it brand new the day it came off the truck for $7600.00. Still have the HB but it's been parked for a few years. Can't afford to fix it up. :bash:

Wish I never got rid of my 77 bronco. Traded it for a nice 72 f100 390 4 spd but not as cool as the bronco. It was the last year of the cool body style.

Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Mine was a 1945 WILLYS MB3 JEEP. No frills, no heat/ no radio, no wipers. Stock seats, original engine, 6volts still had the brass nomenclature plate riveted to the dash. We didn't get anywhere in a hurry, but we got there. I' ve been kicking myself for the last 20 years.

Had one of those the previous owner had put a 327 in.  Was the scariest thing I've ever driven.  Would brake all four loose shifting into 3rd when you weren't even trying. :yike:  I traded it for the CJ5 and lost my fear of driving a Jeep ;)

79 chevy luv 4x4 4 speed.  Little lift, roll bar, fuel cell.  It would make its own trails mainly because i didn't care.

78 GMC sierra grande 4x4, 350, low miles, 1 ton rear end, air bags, warn winch, 4" lift, dual tanks no frills but did go anywhere with no problem.  did not have to worry about scratching her cause she didn't really care.

1965 ford f100 custom cab shortbed with the 390 2 wheel drive. Bought it in 1972 in excellent low mileage condition for i believe $700. It would go anywhere and pretty much did. Gave it to my lil bro the day i went in the navy. He loved it too.

 69 Dodge Dart, 383 Tri-Power , 3.91 posi ..... oh you said truck  :chuckle: 82 yota, I did a 350/th350 swap in , 35-15.50 swamper SX , 2 1/2 flowmaster exhaust. I guess by todays standard it would be old school compared to the rock crawlers , bobed beds, exo skeletons stc. I built it before todays fads  :chuckle: I just liked the ruck, not perfect but it was mine.
