Don't have a pic, but this one is identical right down to the color:

Mine had white spoke rims and was a bit taller with larger tires.

304 international and 727 under the hood.

Damn I miss that truck. Was great in the summer with the top removed.

I was young and it was good times.

I'd get another one tomorrow if I could.....
 
My first truck was when I was 16. I still have it, but it isn't driveable anymore. Keep it around mostly for keepsake I guess you could say. It was 88 JEEP COMANCHE with a 4.0L and a 5 speed 4X4. Just plain jane stock, but I sure liked having it.

That is an SUV, when did you get your first truck?
 
Got my first truck when I was 17. It was a red 1998 Chevy K2500 ECLB with 350/4L80e. Sold it last year.

Only reason I got it was I had too many tickets for speeding/wreckless driving in the Firebird. Still got my share of tickets in that truck though.
 
39. The year I bought Boulder Terrace Farm. '69 C10. It's in my signature pic after I had it and restored it a time or 2 and right before I sold it. That pic was taken on 9/11/2001 BTW. Odometer read 67k but it was on it's way to all zeros for the 5th time.
Lived in town and couldn't justify a truck before that but I sure needed one many times.
 
Believe it or not... I'm still driving it. Of course, I've only had it four years. Got it when I was 52. Before that I had a lot of vans and wagons, and a Suburban or two, but never a truck. Rented quite a few, leased a few more, for my construction company, but didn't actually own any of those.
 
1982 ( or was it 83) 6.2 diesel 1/2 ton chevy 2wd. Man that thing did good on fuel. I was 18-19 at the time. It's been too long I can't remember. I did have a few cars and bikes before that, but this was my first truck.
 
Back in the days from were i come from there were no pick up trucks to be had yet.
I was 31 when i got my first truck after i immigrated, was a used 78 chevy 1500,i wore it completely out on my first farm.
On the last day i used it i blew all forward gears on the way to town,i drove home in reverse and when i backed in the yard it blew the engine as well. To top it off, when i slammed the door a rear tire exploded.
Sold it for $100 to the junkyard.
 
I bought an old beat up 73 GMC when I started farming in 1980. It's still out back and ran when it was parked.
 
18. A 1975 Datsun pickup. Pretty much stock. I sold it 4 years later for twice what I paid for it. I had a lot of fun in that truck. :D
