    I guess I'll post in here first, since this usually seems to be where I hang out.

    and i will do you one better with a picture of "Rattletrap"

    she is getting a little rough around the edges, after 494,000 miles there is quite a bit of rust/rot.
    the hood has a few hole along the front edge, the bed rotted off it, the only thing hanging on is the paint.
    the driver side rocker panel along with about 6 inches of the floor fell off back in September. and the bottom 6 inches of the "A" and "B" pillars are missing.

    i have an almost new cab, bed, and complete nose off a 17,000 mile F-150 to put on it once the weather gets a little better. the frame has already been acid washed and repainted, with all new suspension parts installed. when the cab and nose comes off the engine is getting all new gaskets to stop the oil leaks, then the new body parts are going on.

    I guess this is my favorite truck I own from this era.
    1995 Eddie Bauer
    I worked with the guy that bought it new. The day he showed up at work with it, I told him if he ever wanted to sell it, let me know, I wanted it.
    in 2011, he came to me and ask if I still wanted the truck, and, well, it is a Ford, right?
    He took great care of the truck!

    I'll probably end up doing a thread all to itself on this one, but here's my truck from that era...

    I've currently got a 93 F-150 with a 351 engine in it, I'll try to get some pics of it tomorrow. I bought it last year from one of my dads friends who was the original owner, it had 110,000 when I bought it, just a little over 120,000 now. The truck was spotless when I got it, it had been garage kept it's whole life. I use it for a farm truck so it's pretty beat up now, but still runs and pulls great... It struggles a little when I have the 20' cattle trailer loaded down behind it, but it does ok...

    You didn't need to change it for me, lol. It kind of set you apart, could spot your posts from a mile away!

    My 94. I bought this truck totaled in the blizzard of 2010 for $400. It's been a good truck.

    Sadly, the visors are going to start dissapearing
    There is a problem, being they are made of fiberglass, and over time, they start to crack. Eventually, they give up, and fly off the truck, and bash out someone's windshield. Lund has stopped making them because of this.

    That one has been on 4 of my trucks, and is starting to "rumble" at 70 mph on a windy day
    Sooner or later I will have to pull it off, before it pulls itself of.
    first time it "rumbled" it scared the crap out of me, I thought the truck was coming apart!
