Finally, and at long last, I have a truck! I have wanted some hauling device, be it trailer or truck, for years for trips to the dump, for hauling dirt or bark, and for bringing home building materials and other sundries from the mega home center.

It's a doozy...a 1973 Ford F100 with rusted fenders, an AM radio, doors that barely open, and no gas gauge. But, it has headlights, blinkers, brake lights, speedometer, wipers, and, best of all, a beautiful, full-size truck bed.

I'm in love.
