Re: How long have you owned your truck?

Technically I don't still own it since I gave it to my son several years ago, even though my name is still on the title. I got my '63 LWB in October of 1975

I'd have to do some thinking to remember just when I got some of the other members of my fleet

I've had my 61 since 86. Fixed it up in 87, rolled it in 88. Been a ongoing project since.

Re: How long have you owned your truck?

I bought my truck in Jan. 2000, been through hell and HIGH WATER, just about finished. I bet you I'll come in close to first on the longest restoration on the planet, at least it seems that way.

Re: How long have you owned your truck?

My mom bought it in 95. I learned how to drive on it and learned how to wrench on it. Then she gave it to me a few months ago. Now my girls are ready to ride in it.

Re: How long have you owned your truck?

I bought my '63 out of the local Autotrader, from the original owner, back in August 1982.
Still not done.

Re: How long have you owned your truck?

I bought my 61 when I was 14 years old for a big price of $1000 of yard money... it was my first car and I've owned at least 20 cars since then, 14 years later... still have it.

You need two tools in life: duct tape and WD-40. If it moves and it shouldn't, you use duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, you use WD-40.

Re: How long have you owned your truck?

My Great-Grandfather bought my truck new in '61. My grandpa owned it from '63 to 2000 when it was passed down to my Dad. It was passed down to me in 2003. It's the first truck I turned wrenches on, so I've been working on it for about 25 years (still lots to do). I've owned several other 60-66 trucks, but now I'm back to the original '61.

Re: How long have you owned your truck?

I was given my 65 SWB in 2005 when I came back to the states from Okinawa, Japan. It was supposed to be my uncle's 78 LWB f-150 that he promised me in 1988 but it didn't work out that way. thank goodness!!!

Welcome to the forum. Please post more pictures when you can. That's a great looking truck. It's nice to see one with so much family history.

Re: How long have you owned your truck?

My truck has been in my family for 25+ years. My dad officially gave it to me Christmas of 09'. He said " might as well you already cut the hell out of it!!" I have claimed it to be mine since I was 7yrs old though. Cruised it in high school every once in a while also.
