Default Anyone have any pictures of their first trucks?

I bought this with my first job when I was 15. Well I gave dad the money and he bought it. Its got a 5.7 TB 350, with a drop in K&N, chrome lid and shorty headers. It had a 4/6 drop on it when I got which really sucked where I lived (dirt/mud roads). I only got stuck once though. It was a mud eatin machine. I put 275/60/15 tires on the 10" wheels out back and 255/60 tires on the first. It had the old school 3 spoke polished wheels too. The first motor lasted 231,000 miles til it just wouldn't run anymore. Then after we rebuilt the motor the tranny only last another 3,000. Then we put another tranny in it and it lasted until that time I got stuck. It sat for about a year and a half and my dad decided to fix it up again. Put a new tranny in it and put some old man wheels and tires on it and drives it everyday to work (20mpg, he sucks). Its got a really cool ram air hood on it too. Never seen another one like it.




Anyone have any of their first truck
