First wheels

[MKotur325]

You guys always do such a good job of making me feel young... Used 1990 Ford Aerostar long wheel base van. I despised that van...

Seems to be a lot of 70's vehicles for first rides! I had a 1976 Dodge 3/4 ton 2wd pickup. It was huge! After the breaks went out and drove it thru the back of the garage, I would end up in a 1978 F150. Senior year in high school I rebuild a 429 BB and swapped it in... Gas mileage...LOL yeah right!

First one I paid for was a '63 Chevy II Nova 2D HT, which I built a 327 for. It fit my mullet well.

1976 Datsun 710. Pile of junk it was...

I had a '76 Datsun B210 Honeybee, paid $200 for it and drove it to work, school, fishing, hunting, etc. for 4 years. I paid for a little gas and a LOT of oil in those four years. Like Schmalts' it was a piece of junk ......... but never let me down.
The first rig that was actually mine was a '77 Chevy shortbed 4x4, I loved that truck and have thought about trying to find a duplicate many times. My original one got stolen and destroyed by some dirty bugger.

[KRasmussen]

'67 Chevy van with 90" wheelbase. Retired phone company vehicle with 230ci straight 6, mid engine and 3 on the tree. Was a blast to have all my friends in the back and the girlfriend sitting on the engine cover next to me.

 

[mdhunter]

1966 Ford Bronco. Straight six, three on the tree.

I had an electrical issue beyond my abilities so I attached a magnetic flashlight to the column I turned on to check my speed. Speed usually wasn't an issue because it drove so ruff I tried to avoid it when possible.

Dang, I still miss that truck when I see one today...

Just like my first truck except for the color. Mine was light blue with dark blue stickers.
