My truck was back at the house; we were wandering around on the quads. My truck stays on the pavement, I dont like to get her dirty

 

Beautiful pics! There is a farm on top of the mountain ner me that is directly on the KY/VA state line, and one of my friends had rented a house there, and his only rent was to help keep the grass down and do odd jobs for the old retired man who owned the place. Exploring up there, we found the remains of an old model T truck, I don't know what year, but it was very early, and we asked the old man about it, and he laughed and told us that was the first truck he ever bought. Bought a new Chevy in 1971 to replace it (that's right, the old model T did all the work on his farm from the early twenties to 1971), and he said he traded the Chevy for another Ford in 1972, because he didn't think it held up as well as the Fords he had test-driven did...He had his 1972 in the garage, had less than 10,000 miles on it, and was showroom beautiful except for a few scratches inside the bed and big 'pappw'-looking let turn signal that he had installed on the bumper, because the place is on the side of the interstate in an almost-blind area, and he was afraid of getting rear-ended, lol...It's awesome to see old cars and stuff in rustic settings, I love the mountains!

 

Come on... live a little...

 

Nice pix NHSP-06!

 

Here are a few that I took while we rode on the Norwottuck Rail Trail today.

 

I qurantee you 50-60 years from now most of our trucks that we are driving now wont even look that good, and the chrome definatly wont be that shiny on them cause it will have all peeled off.

Try imagining your truck there, it's hard but odds are that it will be one day.

Finding old rigs out in the woods and fields makes me sad, I wonder what kind of life they led. You know at one time someone loved them and washed them every weekend. Back then many families only had one vehicle and it was thier pride and joy, a display of success. So how many of them took kids on thier first dates??? How many went to blueberry hill, or Cheery Mountain or Look Out Point or what ever the local make out spot is. What stories could those rigs tell?

 

god i hope mine dont tell stories...

 

Mine either, it might would cause a divorce.

 

My old Cougar could tell some good ones, most pretty stupid and give the parents a few more gray hairs Too bad she ended up scrap

Sure is sad seeing the old farm and grain trucks at grandpas old farm. Those trucks provided for him, grandma and 5 kids.
Can only wish that Id still have the 89 in 50 years.

 

Yea my old 69 f100, 81 TA (that I still have) and 92 S-10, all would raise some eyebrows, embarrass me, cause parents to have strokes and probbaly agian tick the wife unit off. Several of the stories in all of them involve a couple of ex-girlfriends that she is still jealous of 12 years later. Bad thing is one is even deceased, wife still dont want to hear the stories though, not even the ones that dont involve intamacy.

Wish I knew where the old 69 was now, I'd buy it back in most any condition.

 

If I wasnt in college and flat broke when the insurance wrote of the Cougar I would have bought it back in a second and fixed it myself.

This truck just better keep quiet since I have no plans of getting rid of it and can afford to fix it if the insurance decides to be ****s if anything happens to it. Though for most of the "dumb" moments theres been a few witnesses who still remind me around a few drinks

 

Lucky.... my witnesses ussually pick the most inopportune, inappropriate or embarrassing times to recollect past dumb events...

 

Oh all the stories get around, dont see them for a few days and when I do everyone already knows

 

I'm talking about the really dumb ones that I've tried to forget from a decade ago.

 

Nix that idea.

I wouldn't even trust Gorilla glue in the event of an deployment.

It's one thing to get an airbag in the face at a 1,000 fps but.....
that hunk of metal would be exiting the rear window regardless of whether a head was in the way.
