[QUOTE="Oxygen, post: 1099303, member: 19298"] 1979 Ford F100 (Longbed) w/ 300 Inline 6. I've got about $6,000 into it at the moment. Some of the significant upgrades were a new steering box and a transmission rebuild. Everything else put into it was just replacing worn parts. Everything electrical on the truck works as well (all guages, lights, and on) for it being a 45 year old truck, gas mileage doesn't really matter to me. I simply use it for work and hauling things. There's a reason why the 300 I6 is called the "unkillable engine). I was raised up around these trucks, my grandfather had a 1978 Ford F150 that he had new from the dealership and it just kept on going. I prefer 70s-80s trucks with the absolute cutoff being 1994. You'll never see me in any sort of EV, no matter how many miles it can go. If we're talking about the nonsense "CyberTruck" I'll pass every single time. I'll admit that they do look cool and futuristic (while being something I drew in kindergarten) the reliability and the ability to do "truck stuff" are non-existant. [/QUOTE]
