My last one was a '69, purchased for $100 cash in the late 80's as a "winter rat" in Upstate NY. I do all automotive work myself so got it running (and stopping) for another couple hundred. The "three on the tree" was a mess so I cut a hole in the floor and installed a Hurst. big block FE motor, 360 cubic inch, and lots of rust. My wife refused to ride in it. It was a "rat rod" before the phrase was coined.

My new one is a bit nicer. Base model, super cab, rubber floor and tiny little screen for the mandatory back-up camera. Auto-stop delete (love it). It's a second vehicle so I didn't want to send a lot, and don't need a lot of options. It's a very nice truck though, and my wife likes riding in it.
