[UNRULEE]

(you know you drive a dentside when).........................you get stuck in 4ft of snow on an early warm spring day and your Dad comes to try and rescue you with his Super Duty........................and you both end up riding home in the dentside because you managed to dig it out in an hour and the Super Duty got stuck long before it could get close enough to you to hook up a strap.........................a JD 7700 comes in handy in these situations!!!

You know you drive a Ford truck when you're in a head on car crash, end up on your side and hit a telephone pole, yet walk away with only a bruise on you chest where the seat belt caught and restrained you.

When your "Blowtie" buddies can vividly describe your rig's tailgate and rear bumper....

You know you are driving a Ford. When after 36 years and 430,000 miles of work and play. Your truck is still tight and rattle free.

 

[Beach66Bum]

Another incident i was involved in with the same rig 76 f-100 stepside.while driving home from work,i see an older town car coming to the intersection & he blows the stop sign.i new instantly he was going to hit me,so i swerved to the right & mat it hoping to avoid the collision.he hits me in the left rear tire square,this spun the truck completely around & comes to rest{i had 33's on the rear thank god}i get out of the truck & see if he's ok & inspect the truck for damage.i couldnt find a scratch! his car the hit sent the radiator into the fan..i was dumbfounded,he began to plead with me not to report the incident because he fell asleep at the wheel & had no insurance.i replied well i dont see damage to my rig,but there could be unseen damage.he tells me to try to move the truck which i did watching that tire..it did wobble a bit & i told him that & would have to make out a report for my insurance to get it repaired.he pulls out 500 bucks & hands it to me.so i did feel sorry for him & i let him go.i drove the truck home raised the rear & found a bent axle at the hub.fixed it for 50 bucks & was on my way!

Last March I had a defibulator put in my chest. When I was getting discharged my wife went to get my truck ('70 SWB). She had backed out into the center lane of the parking lot shifting into drive when a guy in a minivan backed into her left rear. I have no rear bumper on the truck. The minivan wiped out the rear gate & tail light. When I checked my truck the only damage I could find was the left marker light was broken.

You know you are driving an old Ford truck. When men in their 20's and 30's come up and tell you "Your truck is not a Ranger." after they see the Ranger logo on it.

 

[elgemcdlf]

One of my favorites from the young ones is "What year is that?" You have to say it like you have never seen one before.

 

[340B]

At times driving an old truck you do feel a bit like a history teacher. But that's okay I like history.

 

[primetime]

People who have just found you have parts trucks ask if you have blah-blah part for their x-brand brand blah-blah, and bystanders start laughing and say, that man only drives Fords!

 

[m78]

You keep an antique in the garage just to look at .

I cannot tell you how many times this has rattled my bones!!!

"Hey, I like your Ranger"

"It's an F-150 Ranger"

"But it says Ranger!!!"

"Grunt"

Hmmm... maybe just get yourself some anti-bone-rattling meds?
Or get-back-on your anti-bone-rattling meds? 8-0

When seeing ads for old Rangers I thought it was kinda cool they were
using the old terminology like was used back when they were new.

YMMV
