Custom paint, originally had murals on the hood, rear and sides - but had it repainted about 81. Complete paint, door jambs, bed, engine compartment, etc. Engine was mostly brushed aluminum over with blue and red braided hose. To many engine parts to mention. Micky Thompson Weather Vane rims with Goodyears.

Man I loved that truck. In 1985 it had a fuel line leak at the 40 micron filter - caught fire and burned up. That was in Feb. ***** was that I had dropped my "custom" insurance in Jan. Insurance adjuster almost cried with me - he gave me full blue book value which was the best he could do.

I have the fire pictures around here somewhere -

And on edit - Oh yeah - nothing but Fords since that GMC.

Okay - one more edit - forgot about the 85 Dodge 1/2 ton. After that a few Ford Vans until 2000.

Last three trucks:
00 F150 4x4 -
01 F350 Powerstroke Dually Crew Cab -
04 F350 Powerstroke Short Bed, Crew Cab - King Ranch.

Back when I was probably 6 or 7 my dad had a 80 somethin Chevy C10. Standard cab short bed I believe. I loved this thing. Baby blue with a 350 and 5 speed(I think). One winter he was comin into town off a hill and put it in a pond nose first. Had it pulled out and kept drivin it and she kept goin but the back axels got bent and it messed up the rear end. Had it fixed and kept drivin it. One day she just caught on fire :-) and that was the end of big blue

Alright... flame me if you want... I own a Ford. I don't care what you own as long as it is American made by an American company. It is a huge pet peeve of mine and I won't take it any farther because it just wouldn't be pretty.

I would love to get a Honda Ridgeline. I used to own a Ford F-150 and it was a great truck.

I own a 2005 Silverado HD right now. I think my dream truck is a cross between a Chevy and a Dodge. Take the Cummins from the Dodge and the Allison Tranny from the Chevy. Now thats a truck :-)

Latest purchase was a F150 Super Crew Cab 4x4. It all came down to legroom in the back seat. Ford had plenty for my 6'2" frame. Chevy was 6" less, Dodge at least 8-10" less than Ford. Forget Toyota!! Knees in my chin in their 4-door.

Third Ford truck I've owned. Owned 3 chevys in the past. didn't last as long as the fords. Never owned a Dodge. Looked at one when brought the Ford, but they were $4000 more than Ford, and dealer would not deal; at all!!! Ford made me one helluva a deal. No wonder Dodge needs bailout.

1990 Ford F-150.

She's a beater truck, for sure. Lives outside, packrats have eaten up some of the wiring and most of the vacuum lines, only seven of the eight cylinders fire, brake line leaks, power steering leaks, neither the a/c or heat work anymore; ... but she still gets the job done!

Like somebody else already said, it would depend the reason. Plus, I've not had a truck since my 86 Toyota 4X4. I really liked it, but to be fair, I'd have to have a look at everything out there since it's been so long...

I've got a '99 Dodge Dakota with 130,000 miles on it and other than routine maintenance and the fact that the air don't work she’s been a pretty good truck. I am done with Dodge though. The gas mileage on Dodges suck. I average about 13 miles to the gallon since I do a lot of stop and go city driving. My dad’s got a Full size Chevy Silverado and he gets better gas mileage than me. I been wanting a Chevy Silverado but if I got a good deal on an F-150 I would buy it.

I've got a 98 Dakota w/ 178,000mi on it and the only problem I've ever had was a rear wheel speed sensor at 95k mi. I still get 25mpg out of her! (4cyl, 5sp) The radiator has developed a leak this winter, I think one of the plastic tanks has cracked...

I also have an 07 4Runner that I love, so I'm a bit torn.
