Life Of A Truck I do not know much about the life of my truck before me, except she was a work truck. Since I bought this beast, she's gotten me out of a snow bank, rolled on her side after hitting black ice, had most major parts replaced, and now I'm looking to finish fixing her up!
My Blessing For a long time, my wife and I only had one vehicle. We struggled for years financially, I would always have to borrow someone's truck to move something. Always said a man needed his own truck. Then I was blessed with a check from work that bought this truck. Not new to anybody but very new to me. Has a few flaws but it runs. 🙌🙌🙌, Very grateful 🙏.
A New Generation Brings Energy and Creativity to the Street Rodding Hobby - Restoration of a 1950 Dodge Pickup Truck As the Baby Boomer Generation continues to age, some question the future of the Street Rodding hobby. Boomers take note; the “30-something”, Generation X, young adults will engage and pay close attention to the collector car hobby when the experience can become a father and son project. Take the example of Tom (father) and Josh Sahrmann (son). Josh is a young adult, who has been learning and studying the collector car market with his father. The Sahrmann’s watch and ... read more >>
I am resurrecting my Dad's 1999 RAM Sport... My mother actually bought this truck used in 2001. When she saw it sitting on the lot while driving by, she told my Dad, that's her next truck. To which my dad replied by asking - "Why would you want a half of a truck?" After purchasing, it wasn't before she gave it to my father. He fell in love with the little truck. Washed and polished it every week. Put a Flow-master exhaust on it, and used it daily. With the 5.2, it is a snappy little short box. For ... read more >>
1988 W100 "Scarlett" 88' W100 with a fresh 360 engine .040 over, 508 mopar cam, roller rockers, kb pistons, 750 eddy carb and a rebuilt 727. Bought it about stock besides the lift in 2018 and when deployed to Afghanistan I saved a good chunk to have her built up right. She's my daily driver and a long time dream.
The Warlock (as she is so endearingly called) is a 1978 W150, auto, AC, pickup with the warlock package. It took a few years of constantly begging the previous owner before he gave in, so no, the Warlock is not nor ever will be for sale. She is to be my coffin when it is my time to go. I have owned this old girl for over 20 years. She has given me over 313,000 faithful miles. Having a 360 under the hood you know she was very tired and took some daily coaxing to get down the road ... read more >>

Grandpa's Truck My truck is a work in progress. I have done a lot of work on it since I got it 3 years ago from my grandmother. She told me it was my grandpas but that it was gonna take a lot of work because after he died they let it sit for close to 10 years. When I got it, I went through the whole thing and replaced a lot on it (there is still much to be replaced). For my first truck, I love it and I would not trade it for a brand new anything. ... read more >>
My Learning Experience This is my 1989 Dodge W150 single cab. This is the first truck that I purchased when I was 17 years old. When I purchased it, it was very apparent it needed a lot of work. I was very new at working on vehicles but with the guidance of my father and grandfather, the three of us got to work on it. Within a month of owning it we had pulled the motor and began the process of installing a new 318 motor in it. After dozens of other smaller projects and lessons from this truck, ... read more >>

My Truck Story Is Just Beginning My brother passed away in June. As a tradesman, his truck was expected to work and play as hard as he did. Whether it was hauling drywall to the rental property or hauling the pontoon boat to the Gulf, it was always with purpose. To some of us, a truck is more than utility, more than transportation. It is an office, a shelter, a tool, and a faithful companion. Roy Rogers had Trigger. The Lone Ranger had Silver. Shaggy has Scooby. My brother had this bare-bones 1993 Dodge D250 - standard cab, bench ... read more >>
Project 53 Growing up on the farm taught me many things. My parents did not come from money and it seemed we worked from daylight until dark working for a better way of life in the American dream. This taught me many things including that there was not any kind of roadside assistance ....you were the road side assistance! At a very early age when a fan belt broke on the tractor my Dad would go to the back of our old farm truck grab another one and point to the tool box and say there's the tool box ... read more >>
