C'mon you rednecks, post 'em up!


There was a (cute)Toyota thread awhile back. And that was fun, interesting, etc..



But I wanna see some American pickup trucks, freshly waxed get bonus points....
(yeah I know pickups are all built in Mexico...or Kentucky.....)



From going to church or work, whatevah you got.

1997 Ford F-250 Powerstroke diesel. My dad bought it new, I bought it from him about six years ago.







P

2004 Dodge. Buying a new one in December, but keeping this one. 178,000 miles.

This is a decent start.
(didn't realize you all drove Toyota's...)

Now we're talkin'.....

That's a nice picture of some protein

Sheeeet, mine's got vinyl seats and floors with a manual trans...might be a bit shy of the Cadillac thing.

Whooo now.....



Sock, the dirtier the better.....

My Sunday-Go-To-Meeting truck....2014 GMC Z71 Shortbox:




My beater....2014 Chevy Work Truck:

Pic

This cowboy gots 3...

'99 F-350.

And thanks Sam. I haven't posted a new pic in a long. You forced me to figure out how to do it.

Thank you all for sharing the pics!



Home alone drinkin' beer, this is better than TV....



Yesterday......grin

Bought this 2001 last month.



When my 3500 was new.

This thread is emitting waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much carbon!

I’d go take pics for ya Sam, but it’s raining and I may melt.

This is all I can do on short notice Sam.

Dang Sam. You'll have to be alone and drinking beer again tomorrow before I can put up pics. Never done it on my rigs.

Might be covered in snow by 12/1 am. It'll still be good.

At one time it was my Sunday-go-to-meeting truck, but when my 1991 F250 was T-boned by a 80 year old Senior citizen it was pressed into every day work.

2005 Ram 2500. 5.7 motor with 6-speed manual transmission.



2005

Still working on posting pictures. 95 dodge duelly in what I like to call urban camo, because about half the paint has fallen off. 225000 miles, runs like a top.

Sam my cousin use to chop the back top half off caddies and make his version of an el Camino, they were pretty cool.

Brother in law and I both have the dreaded 6.0 Powersttokes. Both 2006 models. Both bought about 7 years ago, both now have about 160,000 miles on them. His primarily pulling stock trailers. Mine primarily a hunting and run around rig. Mines been mostly bulletproofed. His mostly stock. I’d buy a newer one, but they’re just getting broke in.

His white longbed 1 ton. My green shortbed 3/4 ton. Wyoming antelope hunt last year.

Looks like the 6.0 is over-represented so far. Here's one from our Hilton-esque elk camp.

.....short cowboy

WTH?

2 Pages so far and I haven't seen a proper longhorn hood ornament yet.

I thought this was a COWBOY Cadillac picture thread.

Geno

PS, some of them trucks y'all have we used to call Navajo Delights.

Cowboy Cadillac and Pasture Cadillac...

Did you say you want pics of American built trucks?

Made in Texas!

A 2014 on it's maiden voyage to the woods.

I read on the internet that those 6.0's suck balls......
(have to take a pic of my '03 today)


Put about 600 miles on this in the last 3 days.
(obviously a 6.7 not a 6.0)



Back and forth getting strays before the big storm!
(that just rolled in last night...)




Love the pics, thanks and keep them coming!

Toyotas are built in Texas and California (unless Tacoma production was moved to the Tundra plant in Texas).

My Ford F150 was made in Dearborn Michigan. Just saying.

Don't care about the others.

Doh! Wait, is that a "Cowboy" Cadillac, or an "Indian" Cadillac? That's a dang canoe hanging out the back of that Dodge...

A priefert chute? You like that thing?

This is the old 95, she's parted more water than Moses

Cool mailbox!

By now, it ought to be evident which pickup dominates the field...

My little pavement pounder.....grin

2002 F350 7.3 diesel. I've owned it since new, 17 years. It is for sale. 63,400 miles.

I would love to stick a bale bed on that thing!

That pup looks plumb tuckered out!

Tired from pushing.......

Well it is a 6.0.....lol!

I went through my file looking for a picture of the half ton with an empty boat trailer at the launch on Wabigoon Lake.

You good folks will just have to close your eyes, and dream.

Gone but not forgotten.

My all-American Willys. Doesnt haul much wood, but does haul ass !

https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/galleries/13323132/trucks

The Green Machine and Bubbaghini.

Nice Boat and Buck!

This one is an old ranch truck I swiped from my wife. With the V10 it'll pass anything but a gas station.

Here's the newest one and it does ride like a Cadillac.

[/URL][/img]

The 06 is my every day ride, the 1980 is used for hauling firewood some hunting.

As Barry already mentioned, I'm noticing a bit of a pattern here.......


Nice rigs!

No big ole steer horns?

Nice !!!!

Mama's town truck.

Stumbled across this fairly well preserved 2005 last year. V6 5 speed long bed,..has 71K. It's not this clean anymore.

Best camper shell ever made right there.....and one of the best products to come out of NV.

The other is my little Pack Mule trailer. (Ignore the Taco)

Hopefully this will make amends for posting my Toyota in Sams Cadillac thread.

I bought this 06 4x4 at a bank repo auction a couple of months back for $2700! It runs and drives like new. Everything works, no leaks, and no rust. I was going to resell it, but drove it a bit and decided to keep it.

my '14 Taco truck......SR5...V6 4x4....6 sp MT.....79K miles

new tires/wheels this week.....Cooper ST Maxx.......

just in time first valley snow !

Nice truck Tikka!

I just wanna be your tire and wheel salesman...

Wow! My kind of truck!!!

Thanks FG. That Caravan Top works better than any other topper I've tried. It's nice to run in the desert and not have the back full of dirt.

Your Ford on the other hand is sweet. Might have to have Northern Dave build one foe me.

Discount Tire Direct........Phoenix.....

Black Friday deals......20% off total order..........

sold old tires/wheels for $550 (with 7K miles...Cooper AT3's)

new set up less than $700 shipped/mounted/balanced

New Coopers are meaty SOB's.......LT265-75x16

added road hazard along with new ones too....busted one of the

new AT3 Coopers last year with 3K miles on them...DTD replaced fast !

ST Maxx are 3 ply sidewalls

Those are nice!

In the pic of mywife's pickup, you can see those 10 ply Cooper's on it.

Seem to be good tires.

$700 for E load tires AND wheels?!?

That’s a sore dick deal!

Good luck finding a 57 factory 4WD short bed.
That was the first year they offered 4WD.....once you ordered one they sent it to an outfit in CA for the conversion.
The label the company riveted to the glove box alone is worth dam near as much as the truck.
Ford started doing them in house in 58/59.

PS....57 was also the first year for that body style....it only lasted three years so that adds to the scarcity too.

PSS....believe it or not the only other one I've seen was in Battle Mountain.

1947 Ford

Yeah,,,,,That truck is bad azz.

read close....20% off...total new pkg....$550 for used tire/wheel pkg.........

yep..just short of $700 shipped......

I bolted them on.......

Your thread title is responsible for my ear worm.......So I decided to share.

I think you over paid, but if you can deal with the gayness, more power to ya, those blackened out windows hid lots of shame.

Great minds and all that Richard.

You see guys, I'm not the only one that thinks there should be some horns on these vehicles. Of the bovine sort that is.

Geno

Thanks...I think.

Higster,

was that the one you dropped the Cummins Diesel into?

always wanted an opportunity to see that conversion you did...

Rte 200 in MN? that or old US 2.

Very Nice !!

L O L ! ! !

Thanks. I didn't realize it was gay until I posted it here. LOL!

It's not in the least!

Quite the steal at that price though.

Reckon those Chebby guys are too ashamed of theirs to post pics?

Wannabe a pickup when it grows up....ha ha.....nice for bombing around:

Most of the stuff posted here is nothing more than a station wagon, this is what the real user drives...

What are they using...?

1978 , K10




'nuff said




Mike

I might recognize thet GMC.

I dig that K10.

Wished I had a pic of my old 72 K5 Blazer......



Had this one once upon a time, Inferno Orange Pearl, didn't see too many of that color:

The last Chevy I had was slick as new and low miles. In the short time I had it, I replaced the heads, front differential, and the transfer case. I'm not real bright, but do know enough to refrain from buying another one.

And Ford just bought back my buddy's 2018 F-150 under the lemon law.......

My company truck is a 2016 F150 aluminum body with the coyote 302. It has 60k with zero issues, will absolutely fly, and gets 21 MPG.

Shows ya what I know, I’d Take that truck and a .270 any day......

Indeed you do.

Kinda bittersweet. Hard to believe Dad is 85 years old. The Gator is about all he drives now days.

Sammo just wanted a thread to show off your ride.....

Pity we can't have a vehicle thread w/o bagging on brand right out of the gate.

Pipe dream as usual......it's the Fire.....

Wonder what will happen to that pickup?

You reckon Ford's gonna run it through the grinder, then sell it to the scrap yard?


They have a team of engineers look at the issue, if it has one. Then they determine the fate based on actual problems.

It could be that there was nothing wrong but the driver.

It'll go to a factory auction and the new owner will probably have zero issues.

I've seen it happen.

No rubbing with the 265/75's?

Almost time for new tires on my Taco and was contemplating 265/70/16 Nitto Terra Grappler AT or BFG T/A KO2 but the Coopers look good.

People are retarded about schit like that. The lack of ability, or willingness, to see beyond their limited scope is common with a bunch of schit.

Trucks, boats, guns, etc.........Outboard engines may be the most comical.

Not a driver problem, it was a tranny problem, spent more time in the shop than on the road for the first several months.

They finally "fixed" it......again..... but they finally bought it back and he got a new one.

This is my daily driver 05, it's been a great truck. Just past 150k, still running the original plugs in the dreaded 5.4L...which has never given me a lick of trouble. My only complaint has been its 2-WD nature. The mud gets slicker than owl snot around here when it rains a bit and I don't care for mud tires for commuting...




...so a while back I picked up this clean 97 GMC 4x4. It's at 205k right now and seems to be doing just fine---after the coil and coil control module took a dump on me at the end of a long hauling mission a couple of months ago. I was pulling my partner's tractor, blind, some fence panels and a bunch of other stuff. I got it all onto his property and shut it all down. Next time I turned the key, it would not fire. It's all good now, though.

This one does much better than the F150 off road, and seems to like to go hunting.

Just about an hour ago.

wabigoon;
Top of the morning to you sir, I see you've got winter where you're at this fine, frosty first Sunday in December.

Thanks to Sam once again for the interesting reading and viewing that the thread has produced, I've rather enjoyed it.

Since the early days on the farm, we had overall good success with Cummins engines, so I spent some time researching and figured I wanted a 2003 to 2004½ Ram pickup. Thus after about 6-8 months of looking for what I thought would be the best of an admittedly flawed situation that in early 2009 I announced to my mechanic Cory, "I've got some good news and some bad news.... I finally got a Cummins.."

To which he replied, "Oh I know what the bad news is Dwayne, it's being held by a Dodge!"

That part's sorta held to be true wabigoon, as in the past nearly 10 years we've stuck about $1000 CDN a year into keeping the Dodge parts on the road. Haven't touched the Cummins other than Fleetmaster filters and full synthetic Rotella.

Here it is in the early days before the canopy and boat rack were added.



Here's a couple years back, doing the same duties.



Funny how tasks like hauling bales when we had horses or hauling firewood is an ongoing and seemingly never ending activity isn't it? Much like house renos in that regard wabigoon....

Of course since it's ours, it goes hunting too and back before the last couple winters thinned our deer herd out we were still able to do this once in awhile.



Thanks again to all for sharing and all the best to you all as we head into the Christmas Season.

Dwayne

You're going to be peeved when you find out you cannot get those Goodyear Workhorse tires like you have on the front anymore.

That is our son's pickup. Those tires go flat fast when you drive too close to the shed wall, and cut a sidewall on something sharp.

[img][IMG]https://beta-static.photobucke...920&height=1080&fit=bounds[/img][/img]

Dunno why the 2nd photo won't load and only shows the link?

Buddy of mine in the tire shop turned me onto those a few years back....they were a diggin' SOB.

I tried to buy some a while back, but they cut way back on the sizes available at that time...too bad....

You all that live where the roads arent salted or brined make me jealous.

I see your 70's and 80's trucks that have excellent bodies. And you all brag on the miles.

Around here, I see trucks that are 10 years old, and look great.
Until, you notice the rocker panels, cab corners, or wheel wells, are gone.


We almost never wear out an engine. Auto-tranny problems do happen.
Mostly, we can drive our rotted out pos vehicles to the bone yard.
If they are broke, it just because the body doesn't warrant the couple hundred $
needed to keep it going.


And this applies to all brands.


Even Toyota and Ford.

Dwayne, unlike Richard the only cattle we have on feed so far is the feedlot gang, our bred cows are still foraging for themselves but it won't be long and they'll be on feed as well.


Firewood chores this morning, a couple downed Ash trees for the ol' Monarch cook stove.

And of course my dad's dog loves to pose....

That little saw is starting to grow on me, kinda like it.





And thanks to all for posting your fine vehicles!

My sweet ride.

Sam;
Thanks for the reply, I hope that I can take from the photo of your Dad's fine looking dog and the full load of firewood that all is well in your world.

I always said that if I could make a living cutting firewood that would be my preference. By that I mean that I find it satisfying work and one can actually see what's being accomplished - the truck gets full, then the woodpile at home, etc. That in stark contrast to office work where one exchanges today's stack of paperwork for tomorrows or even factory work where the pile of parts being turned into product never ends and seldom changes.

Anyway, I can't quite make out what model your Husky is, but as you can see from the one shot I put up I'm bi-directional when it comes to chainsaws and own a Stihl and a Husky presently. We're lucky in that the local dealer has parts and supports both lines, so either one isn't a bad choice for us.

Our eldest daughter - the one in the backwards Kromer in the tailgate photo - used to work there and got me a "fiends and family" deal on the little Stihl which I found impossible to pass up. It's a nice little saw which is handy for limbing and is a nice insurance tool for when I pinch the bigger saw in between a big chunk of Doug Fir - which I've absolutely been known to do Sam!

Anyway sir, all the best to you all in the upcoming Christmas Season Sam.

From our house north of the medicine line to your's.

Dwayne

Sam, I nearly cry tears when I see that ash as firewood. This is fat me, and Paul, New 2 99s, n front of some black ash wall planking.

That wood is too pretty to burn!

My '99 that resides in Idaho. Bought it new when we lived in Kansas. It has 105k on it.

Daily driver and toy...

I'm liking your toy......

Thank you!

Now this I like!!!!

Especially Toyotas! I've seen frames rusted in two. The trick is to wash the damned thing once in a while.

We need more pictures and a story with this one.

You would be physically sick if you would have witnessed what the Emerald Ash Borer did around here.
Even though I have worked in the timber business, I had no idea just how much Ash we head here.
Until it all died.

Buck, the borer is worth a thread on it's own. Time, and things do change.

I'm a fan of that, too.

:drool:

Sam, what kind of little Husky Saw you running to get the Ash Wood?

BIGR,

https://www.baileysonline.com/husqvarna-550xp-50cc-chainsaw-with-20-bar-chain-hvf-550xp-20.html



I think it was around $500.
(?)

I dont have anything nice to show.

Jim, this ain't about fancy...

Function my friend, function....

That snowmobile cost more than my tractor....

Nice saw, Sam. I have been looking at a mid range saw, I have been running a Husky 372XP most of the time but its a brute to trim with. Looks like the 550XP might just be my next saw.

By the way nice trucks, guys.

That 550 is light, very handy.

Obviously I don't either. Don't let that stop you.

That garage is too uncluttered.

not mathman.

6 pages on my machine

we've now seen posts about snowmobiles and chain saws

Wabi and I still haven't seen a set of horns mounted on the front of a truck yet.

Sheesh, what kinda cowboys are y'all?

Geno

PS, I'd almost bet one of yous guys has a set of bull balls hanging on a trailer hitch though.

Good times helping my 83 year old uncle move his 1954 truck from Great Falls to the Bitterroot Valley. Had I not hauled it he would have drove it.

what is it with the fords? around here, they ae rot hogs.By 10 yeas old they hav
e bigger holes than the dodges do. Chevy/GMC hold their own but Fords...…..Junk from the factory. they can never get any better.

I’m just messing with y’all
I wouldn’t be caught dead in that contraption.
I own Ford Expeditions.

My buddy in college drug this one out of a hedgerow. Did the work himself. Dropped a 455 Buick in it.

Ha! I'd just finished building it and rolled it in for the pic - I won't show a current pic now...

Here's a blast from the past. F150 and Dodge power wagon. Dodge was the feeding truck. Winter of 1978, east of Sidney MT. Kind of hard to see, but we were saddling up horses out by the barn, mom took the pic from the single-wide.

Most definite cool factor with that rig.

J,

garages are a three dimensional equivalent to the horizontal plane ( a flat surface).

There are immutable physical laws that state they will attract any and all objects that are not secured on another flat surface or contained within another storage building.

No need for you to send pics, I have a 22'x30' shop/garage that even an old scrounger/packrat like myself would be embarrassed to show.

And I don't embarrass easily.

Geno

PS, some of those objects just up and move themselves at night when we ain't watching too. That's why we can't find them where we KNOW we put them.

This, does anything I need done: '17 dually, 6.7 PSD, LB, CC, 14K GVW, 4:10 rears, w/25K Reese in the bed...

Parked here to piss off the cliff in the background while glassing for deer in the Black Hills, SD.

They're around...

My '68

Nice......current interest in early pickups is really bumping the prices up......

I paid 13,500$ for it in about 2014. I should have paid more like 12000$ The leaking 283 that was in it was a dog. I put a slightly warmed over 350 in it. Those pics are about 4 years old it was before the engine swap. I also added a 2000-2200 stall to the turbo 400 thats in it. Last year I changed the stock rockers to 1:6 comp roller rockers. Someday i would like to upgrade the drum brakes to disk

Gone but still loved...

Nice! That's the original color of my red '72 (previous owner changed it). If it wasn't so much work to change the color back, I probably would (my Dad had a '72 Suburban that color when I was a kid). I paid just slightly less for mine and feel like it was about $1k more than I should have, but then they're not going down in value, either...

Now that's a man's truck!

wabi,

best I can do for horns on the hood of truck, given the materials at hand. Apparently none of these other guys are old school.



Now I can quit hoping for a nice set of longhorns in this thread

Geno

PS maybe I need to get out on the BLM land and see if I can find a set of old Corriente horns out there.

full lock turn tires touch mud flaps......

Call Matt at Discount Tire Direct !

Your post here reminded me of this pic I have of my '71 Blazer - it was mint when I bought in '92, but the years have caught up with it. It has a good motor and transmission, but needs rear ring and pinion and some cancer treatment. I really need to spend some time with it and get it running again...

Cool, that deserves some love.....

My 72 I bought the winter of 73/74. Had 13,00 miles on it, 350/4 speed, robin egg blue w/blue interior, bucket seats, no console, so a case of 24 returnables fit perfect in that vacant hole. Ended up getting it repainted in black lacquer with flames, side pipes, big tires, etc. Wished I had pics.

Bought a new 78 black K5 back in the day too. Eventually that got a 4" lift, 35's, etc.....

I bought a 1970 K-5 Blazer and it was the biggest pos that I've ever owned. It convinced me that I would be a Ford guy from then on.

OMG a CHEVY!! ~ grin

Show em the rear bumper.

Me either !!

My 2 black beauties get the job done;
2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited - 4.7l V8 - Magnaflow exhaust, Leather interior & fully loaded 240k



2005 Chevy Silverado - 5.3l V8 with wide hips & rear wheel steering 210k



Nothing wrong with either of them, that Northern Dave couldn't fix !



Of course, Mrs Deb drives new ! 2017 Ford Edge 3.5l rocket ship !

I have no idea what you are referring to, Good Sir!

My '03 F250 7.3L. RIP she was totaled two years ago. Still in mourning.
