My 20 year old son wants it pretty bad. I told him one day it would be his. But, not today. mtmuley

Not the best pic see if I can dig a few more out. My first vehicle a 1980 GMC 1500. My dad bought it when I was 14 and we spent the next two years fixing it up had a 350 we turned into a 383 stroker. Got in a bit of trouble with that old girl ended with me rolling it on a curve going way to fast my senior year. Should be dead especially since I didn't have a seat belt on walked away with nothing but bruises and cuts. Somebody had my back that night. Silver lining it cured my need for speed I stick to the limit now and always wear my belt figure best to not tempt fate again. Wish I didn't have to ruin a truck to learn that lesson.

No pics but my first truck was a 81 Chevy 2wd with a straight 6 and 3 on the tree. For some reason in high school I went through 2 engines in that bad boy. Hmmmmm I wonder why?

You guys would be surprised at what old abandoned rigs sit in farm junk yards around my neck of the woods. I always think of hooking up the car trailer and just going out and making offers. I think a guy could do alright reselling these old rigs. No rust and mostly just parked and forgotten.

This one isn't mine, but mine was the exact color and pattern, minus the canopy. I've thought many times about getting another one and going for the same look..... I should do it.

It's funny how a guy reminisces about all the past vehicles he had. I wish I had literally all of mine back.
Maybe off topic, a hair
94 Suburban
Bought it running, cost @ $600 bucks
Converted to a more square body.
Totally off road
Numerous refinements since.
It's purpose is to go where few, very few dare. Outside the average comfort zone.

1980 IH Scout II with the factory turbo diesel, Dana 44 axels, and Dana 300 transfer.
Restored it, then dumbassery overtook me and I sold it because I didn't want to bother moving it from SD to CO.
Sold it to the guy that painted it. He turned around and sold it on ebay for 3x the money.
