I am probably the youngster of this group,as I am only 20, but I been messing with old trucks just shy of 6 years now. I remember when I was about 14 I started looking into getting an older truck to drive when I turn 16. I wanted something old to go with my collection of antique tractors and engines at that time. Well I really wanted a 3/4 or 1 ton 4X4 with a huge engine and stick trans.

Well 2 weeks after my 15th birthday I was at a garage sale in Kinde Mi which is up in the northern thumb area. I saw this old truck setting by a guys house..I asked about it and it was for sale. Well It was love at first site and the truck was a 1971 Dodge D-200 Camper Speical with a 318 and automatic. I was not too crazy over the auto, but I begged and pleeded with my folks to let me have it and I got it..I had the money so paying for it was not hard. Well That is what started it all.

My first 4X4 truck was a IH Scout II then I got a IH 4X4 pickup then I bought my first DOdge 4X4..It was a 77 Sno FIter. Then I got my hands on the 70 W-200 then I found my '55. I been Dodge truck poor now for a long time.

Old Iron..Gotta love it! I sure do.
