Is there a classic truck thread going? If not, post them up.

Here are my current old trucks:
1961 Unimog 404
1962 Unimog 404
1976 Bronco
1977 Bronco
1981 Scrambler CJ8
1997 F350 DRW
2016 Ram 3500 DRW

Time to update the list.

Traded the 2016 Ram in on a 2023 F250.

Last week I added a '78 K10 Chevrolet stepside to the list.

There has also been a '75 K5 Blazer and a '70 Scout 800 added to junk fleet.

Since I don't discriminate, I bought a '79 Glastron CVX20 big block Ford jet boat too.

Sadly got rid of her but this was my old 71 f100. Hopefully will have another one soon.

That looks like a truck, one of my buddy's had in high school. I like it.

79 F-250 4X4

I love 70s Ford 4X4 trucks, that's a nice one. Not crazy about the brown, but would make a good hunting truck.

here is my junk, I spent over 2 years building..

That's nice! That thing has to be king of fuel economy. You should post pictures of the truck outside, so we can see the whole truck, but put the big tires on the rear first.

My dad recently gave me his truck. He bought it new when he graduated high school ($4995 with options)
1974 F-250 Ranger Hi Boy
I'm just about done with it. I tried keeping it as close as possible to the way he had it. [ATTACH]863023[/ATTACH][ATTACH]863025[/ATTACH]

It's not a show room truck, I went as far as I could afford and my skills allowed. This was my first time restoring a truck. Needless to say, I'm very happy with it. I have a lot of childhood memories with this truck.

Tough looking old truck, should be pretty stout truck, those old 390s are great truck engines.

My '83 Cummins Jeep Cj7 and my dads 1960 Power Wagon.
However I recently sold my jeep.

I normally hate anything with Dodge on it, but that I like. That thing looks like a beast.

That's nice. I have had two of those old Broncos, I had a 67 an a 71, with the pickup cabs, or what people call the half cab. My 71, had a 302, that I warmed over. That thing would boil tires and get all types of sideways on pavement. What you have done to that engine, should be about all you would ever want for power in one of those trucks. They are light.

If I ever get another, one, it will get a fuel injected 347. Something that makes a lot of torque, but not crazy hp. Put some smaller good heads, similar to what you have done. Don't see many Boss blocks in early Broncos. Should be a fun truck. I would probably put a ZF 5 speed in it, to get an overdrive transmission, and be able to run a PTO off of the transmission, to run a PTO winch. Even a Mazda 5 speed, from a 80s to early 2000s, F150 4X4, would be a good choice, to give you better gearing and an overdrive.

Some very nice trucks on here. My LS swapped 69 on NOS
