First Truck
Well I have officially become an old guy! First I turned 50, then they were nice enough to send me my very own AARP card!! Both of those things were having me think about my age, then Saturday it really sunk in, I bought my son his first truck!! Gotta say that was pretty cool. He found an ad in the local Lapeer paper for a 1994 F150. Those F150’s from 1992 - 1996 have a special place in my heart, over the years I’ve owned 6 of them. They had in my opinion the best seat I’ve ever ridden on in a truck, and the 4.9L six cyclinders were just flat out bullet proof!
We stopped over to the seller’s home Saturday morning to get a look at the truck and I believe my son and I were both about equally excited. I knew from the first glimpse of the sellers house that if this truck was anything close to as clean and neat as the home it was gonna be ours. I mean you could have eaten off the garage floor!! The owner came out and showed us the F150 and from the look on my son’s face I knew he was hooked. Yeah she’s got a couple rust spots, nothing big, but she purred like a kitten and has an interior cleaner than my 2002. Couple runs down the road and I was sold. She now sets in our driveway waiting for my boy to reach his 16th birthday in October. In the meantime I’m gonna introduce my boy to a little body work to patch up the rust spots.
I can’t hardly wait to make a few bow and duck hunting trips this fall in my sons’ new truck!! Man, now I can track my muddy waders on his front seat, and leave some feathers in his visor!! Hey getting old may not be so bad afterall.
