Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What’s your dream truck?

Must be at least 25 years old

For me,

I have a daily driver so I’d want a reg cab LWB 3/4 or 1 ton 4x4 . Kinda a toy, weekend driver type that will haul or pull if needed .

Mid 70s Chevy stepside 4WD. Blue with chrome roll bar and KC lights.

Ram Power Wagon. E

Not really a dream pickup, but one I could use now: 3/4 ton 4x4 with a manual. Diesel wouldn't necessarily suck either.

Not really a true truck but I'd take an early 70s halfcab Bronco. Completely restored

My 2006 6.0 has served me well. 160k of the 200k miles I put on it.



Don’t think I want to drop 100k on the equivalent new one though.

Sold it a while back. FUN to drive!

I'm driving it now...

Defender 110

+1’ on the Power Wagon…… at least until I saw what kind of MPG they get.

The 2010 Tacoma I bought new after Toyota offered full excellent condition Blue Book value on a rust problem 1995 Tacoma that was pretty beat up after lots of hard use. Paid cash for the price difference.

My wife hit a deer last Month with my truck and it took 3 1/2 weeks to get the body work done. It was a small local body shop and the guy buffed out all the small imperfections too and told me I didn't owe him the 500.00 deductible because he doesn't charge the same rate Toyota does.

6 cylinder 21 MPG 81000 miles on it. The plan is for it to outlast me. I'm frugal.

My 99 F250 SD 7.3L manufactured in April of 98, so it squeaks in your 25 year requirement. I've owned it since 2001, it's a regular cab 4X4 and manual. I'll own it as long as I'm able to clutch it. Set the cruise on 2K rpm and I run about 67 mph and get 20 mpg not pulling a trailer.

1988 s15 gmc

1st generation double cab tundra with a few tweeks.

I kind of have mine. ‘90 Silverado 4x4. I suppose 3/4 would be preferable over a 1/2 ton, but ole blue has literally been ‘like a rock.’ Runs like a champ and always gets the firewood home. Pretty much just a farm truck now and needs new exhaust and some front end parts, but it’s still truckin for now and by far the best $1600 I’ve ever spent. The kids love riding around the farm in the bed. 😁

We’ve had a ‘95 3/4 GMC Suburban with the 6.5L diesel for about a year and a half and I love that thing too. About to do a full suspension rebuild but perfect interior and completely rust free top to bottom so just going to keep pecking away at the little things until eventually pulling the engine for a tear down, balance the rotating assembly, and reinstall if no major issues are found. That one gets put away for the winter so should be around as long as diesel is available.

Yes

1999 3rd Gen 4Runner SR5 V6 5 speed manual

2002 Dodge 3500 Cummins 6 speed manual quad cab

Both would last me the rest of my useful days.

I don't want a dream truck... I want a work truck.

Guess I'm pretty set for a few more years.

Truck, 1996 Pete with a 600hp cat.
Pickups and trucks are not the same.
