Well . . . long as the tailgate flips down, so the kids can ride in it with their feet danglin'.

LOL. That grille is Excessively Ugly - and 1955 is early in that trend.

I used to drive an old ford pickup that "floated". The Kingpin bushings in the I-beam suspension were worn out. Kept me awake when I drove, it tended to drift around some...
Ha! Now this is a truck!
Another real truck... but out of my budget! 
'45 Dodge, pretty sure the original paint was olive drab.

I used to see that truck, or the real one, in his driveway in Las Vegas. It was a modest house by todays standards but Red Foxx lived there until he died. The truck left a few years later. I never thought to stop for a picture, but that was prior to smart phones and would have required the 35mm.I used to drive an old ford pickup that "floated".

I think a 45 pretty much had to be 'govmint', because they all were.Another real truck... but out of my budget!

I passed a guy yesterday in a late 40s Ford PU. Very nice ride. He was going the other way so no chance for a pic

20/20 hindsight, imagine buying a 1963 but opting for the convertible. The one, main, most identifiable and intriguing part of the 1963 body was the split back window, and half the cars were convertibles. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't pass up the chance to own one, but tiny bummer in the collectible world.
A Thunderbird from the net, either a '77 or a '78. I don't remember the difference between them but it seems the '78 was a foot shorter.
This one has the same colors as mine, white with blue vinyl roof & interior. It was a boat! But I drove 160miles everyday for work. I also played bluegrass every weekend all over the southeast.
Engine was a big block 400, great for cruising long distances and I put a lot of miles on it.. Had plenty of room for 5 pickers and a big trunk for instruments. Once drove to a festival in Florida with a bass fiddle strapped to the roof, that got a few looks.
I bought a slightly used '77 Thunderbird (6Kmiles) in 78 so I would have looked at every car available. Including a '78 Plymouth Road Runner.
