[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 4126756, member: 35036"] So I remember three. Growing up in far north Wisconsin, Eagle River to be exact. My mom had a early 70s f250, I remember it being white with a blue vinyl interior, and bouncing down the road on that bench seat. Something like this, but not this nice, or this rare. [ATTACH type="full"]414964[/ATTACH] My dad had two: we’ll start with the less special one first. He had a early 60s one ton, maybe more than that Chevy flatbed with the stakebed sides. I remember it being red and rusty, and the stakesides always rattling around. [ATTACH type="full"]414965[/ATTACH] Last was my dads daily driver/commuter: a 1973 Toyota Corona Deluxe coupe.
