I have a 1978 Ford F-150 Ranger, it is my work truck. I love it but am on the fence on selling as I used to tinker on it but not as much any more.

I will try to find a pic

this is not my truck but looks identical...mine is probably more dirty/rusty.

I picked up the 72 Delta 88 yesterday. The thing is 19.5 feet long. It is a tank. So much fun to drive.

Almost bought this last month, but I can't shake the feeling that I would rather have a Bronco than a Scout so I chickened out.

The Scouts are a good pick - we had one back in the day and I wonder if someone still has it. That one looks to be in great shape

 

[DeacWatcher]

Those things are worth some $$$.

Scouts are cool and all, but an old Bronco is going to be much easier to maintain (in terms of parts and finding people who know how to work on old fords).

Yep. Agreed to both. Scouts are a little cheaper on the front end than a Bronco, but probably much more problematic to own. Which is why I haven't pulled the trigger yet even though I like the Scout's aesthetic and the fact that they are comparably rarer to see on the road than a Bronco (because most Scouts rusted all to hell within a few years of being purchased).

tl/dr: IBG&B is a giant pansy that refuses to make a decision.

What year? My dad had an Orange Scout in the late 70s.

Triumph TR-5 circa 1968 is a car I would love to have:

The one in the picture is a 1976. The one that I am/was looking at buying is actually a 1977 that looks almost identical. I didn't have a picture of it handy when I posted on this thread.

Failed effort to post pic...

You're on the Blue Ridge Parkway ?

 

[DirtySouthDeacon]

Ha. No, but it was on Sunday. Now it is ATL. Come down for the GT game. You can have shotgun and get as drunk as you want.

Sweet ride, DSD!

This thread has made me waste a fair amount of time on Hemmings. If I had somewhere to put it, I would think long and hard about one of these:

Eli Cash's car! Those Austin Healey's are tiny. I'm 6' and can barely fit in them.
