olRed Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 She is a 1986 F250 4x4 . I bought it new when I was in the Navy and was 20. I courted my wife with her, built my house with her, and raised a family with her. She is still a big part of my life. But mostly she hangs around the shop these days looking for any action she can get. Going through her undercarriage with new fluids, brakes and u-joints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBrother-84 Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Hi ol'Red! Really happy to see you decided to register as member! When restoring Big Brother, I chose to paint him TuTones 1984's Canyon Red + Glacier White, so you understand why I immediately noticed your very nice truck. Your story appears to be really interesting. Looking forward to learning more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made the bumper for her out of schedule 80 pipe and 5/16 plate when I took the collision off her in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ol Red has never been in an accident. I have had that insurance on her since she was new. But at one point according to insurance it was only worth $2000 . I put that bumper on her in case I hit a deer or something because insurance these days would total the truck on a light fender bender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
