1979 Ford Bronco – Nicholas C.

1979 Ford Bronco – Nicholas C.

My story started when I was 11. I didn't have a phone, just a love for vehicles. I started looking for a truck to work on and learn because my dad was always working on nice stuff I couldn't mess up. So, after a couple months of having to borrow my parent's phone to check Craigslist. Finally, in January 2018, I found the Bronco. I bugged my dad night and day to see if the guy had answered. He finally told me it was sold to shut me up and sure enough 30 minutes later, the guy texted and ... read more >>

1976 Ford F250 – Jennifer R.

Our 1976 Ford truck was one of the Coca-cola trucks at the San Bernardino, CA location that would travel to repair the Coca-Cola machines. We are the 4th owners of this beautiful truck and have purchased parts from LMC. We enjoy taking our truck for a drive.

1978 Ford F250 – Lexi T.

I purchased the truck from a gentleman who owned a vineyard in the state of California, had it shipped home here in Pennsylvania. My dad and I have stripped the interior and painted the cab and dash, put new carpet down, new door panels, made a new headliner, new radio, went all through the motor and replaced multiple parts, put cab lights on and a visor, OBS wheels, polished all the racetrack trim and just gave it some tender loving care. More to come in the future, but just a Sunday drive truck when the sun is out and ... read more >>

1969 Ford F100 – Jake M.

1969 Ford F100 – Jake M.

The last 5 years have been really hard for me, to say the least. I just can’t catch a break. Every time I start to get ahead, something out of nowhere happens. Long story short, I had to find a daily driver that was good enough to get down the road, but something I could pay cash for. I saved some cash from my previous paycheck, and what was left of my savings while looking on line for what was available. I found a couple old prospects, most of which were rust buckets and didn’t look reliable enough to ... read more >>

1949 Ford F1 – Brad M.

1949 Ford F1 – Brad M.

I purchased this truck from my uncle, December 24th, 1981. It's been a long journey, but it has gone from a non-running abandoned farm truck, to its current state, and my pride and joy. I've tried to keep it as original and practical as I can, and a lot of LMC boxes have come to my door over the years. It has a flathead V-8, 3 speed manual transmission, and even sports a reproduction Pennsylvania State Inspections sticker for 1949. It's been a 32-year journey to get it finished, but she will never see a farm field again. ... read more >>

1984 Ford Bronco – Buddy G.

1984 Ford Bronco – Buddy G.

This Bronco was purchased new in Minnesota by my grandpa as a Christmas gift for my grandma. It was passed down to my parents and eventually to myself. I drove it through High School and College. It sat for about 10 years until I brought it home and began the process of restoring it. I finally got her back on the road in 2020 and finished body work in the summer of 2022.

1990 Ford F150 – Fred V.

VINSON GRANDKIDS LOVE OLD FORD TRUCKS Appreciation of old trucks is routinely enjoyed by “country folks”. However, this admiration is really universal, as my “city kids/grandkids” from Dallas can attest. My three daughters and five grandkids have grown up being driven in, as well as driving this Ford truck. On Wednesday, October 5th at 3:42 pm, our Vinson Family Truck (Ol’ Red) reached its 300,000 milestone. This truck was purchased by my father-in-law, J.W. Gilbreath, on September 15th, 1990 on the first week of his retirement. It was a working truck then, as it was routinely seen pulling his ... read more >>

1989 Ford F150 – Tom R.

My name is Tom Rizzardi, and I wanted to take the time to send you pictures of my 1989 Ford F-150 XL 4x4 truck. By the way, my truck's name is "Brutus". I purchased it several years ago from my neighbor, and I recently restored it. The truck is 33 years old, and runs like it's new. Because of LMC and all of the parts that were available, I was able to restore my truck. I got to enjoy driving my truck once again, so I wanted to share my story with LMC. Thank you for your time, and ... read more >>

1973 Ford F350 – Mike B.

1973 Ford F350 – Mike B.

I was actually looking for an F100 when I came across this truck 4 years ago. Since then, it has been a labor of love. Not only is it unique, but it still works hard. 390, NP435 with a Gear Vendor OD, Dana 70HD, pretty rare Seapine Green/Wimbledon White combo. Lots of parts from LMC to include a driver's floor, gaskets galore, and thankfully one F-350 fender emblem! Front bumper, door panels, and it goes on and on. Original Salt Lake City truck, I have all the original documentation and plates. It still drives great and will haul pretty ... read more >>

1973 Ford F100 – Chuck M.

My grandfather had the same truck on the farm growing up, these were some of the best memories of being a kid working with grandad and riding around in the old Ford. When I found this one, I had to have it to make some of the same memories with my kids.

1987 Ford Bronco II – Ralph M.

1987 Ford Bronco II – Ralph M.

My sister purchased this Eddie Bauer from Morristown Ford in 1987. She drove it to work and went on several vacations to Virginia beach for 12 years. One day, she called and said "If you still want it, come and get it." I said what, she said the Bronco. I asked her what she wanted for it; she said it was a gift. My wife said you have to give her something, so, we decided to give her an Old $2 bill that we had. I went that day and picked it up. As she handed me the title, ... read more >>

1966 Ford F100 – Brad S.

A man had it in his garage for 15 years and drove it to the store once a month. I probably never would have seen this truck, but I got fired from my job and was out and about the next day and we crossed paths. It’s the same year as I was born and I wanted it.

1953 Ford F100 – Doug I.

1953 Ford F100 – Doug I.

It was a De Soto Farm truck, then my dad bought it in 1970 for $100 when the Farmer put in a road and started selling lots for homes. Dad and mom bought a lot and it has moved maybe 100 yards since '53. It has a 327 and a Muncie rockcrusher four-speed transmission and I made it a 50-year anniversary Harley Davidson edition, the paint job is Spanish gold.
