First car, or truck

[Blazin]

OK lets hear what everyone had for their first car for there brand shiny new drivers license?

Mine was a 2 door 72 Buick Lesabre, 455, TH 400, 3:23 rear. Was a burnt orange color with a cream vinyl top, & interior.
Also had a 74 Gran Torino Elite at the same time. 400M, C6, with a 3:55 9" posi rear. It was white, white vinyl top, blue interior, original factory 8 track Philco AM / FM radio. Bought it from my mother about two months after I got my license.
My first truck wasn't until a year and a half later. 78 C 10, 350, with a three on the tree. The guy I got it from had put 3:73s in, and a lincoln locker in! He also put the wide camper special type rims with bias ply mud tread tires. Probably about a 32" tall tire but equal to a 14.50 in width. Every one thought it was 4x.
Had several other before I got my license, yard machines!

My first car was a 69 Camaro 350 4 speed Blue exterior black interior.
Bought it off the original owner still had the Window Sticker from 69.

Since I was a "teen" I thought I could go faster with a 3 speed need less to say I kept blowing them up lol

1993 Chevy S-10 SWB
2.8 V6 Manual
2WD

Dark Grey in color

Converted to 4WD buy cutting an S-10 blazer frame in half and welding it to the rear portion of my frame.  I could not tear up the engine.  I did crack the bell housing on the auto trans about a months after converting to to 4WD.  Welded it back up and its been running ever since.  Sold it shortly after that.

It was going to be a blue 65 Impala SS. Lost interest 1/4 way through and pick up the 70 Monte Carlo. It was black on black and has a 305 with a th350. It was fun while it lasted.

1979 C10 Stepside Blue/blue with a 350 that the PO built by putting a 327 crank in it with 350 pistons with a 3 on the tree.  I discovered the "mystery" engine after I tore it down.  Still have the crank.  It met its demise when I centered a Telephone pole late one night in the rain.  It was probably the straightest pickup I have ever owned...

I went in half with my Dad on a '65 Mustang hardtop 289 4bbl. Got it looking pretty good, but parked it in favor of a '64 Galaxie. Wrecked the Galaxie and broke my back in the process, so I got something I could get in and out of... a fairly new, for 1983, '79 C10 Bonanza maroon with silver sides and top and a 305. Within a year I was getting aroung better and put a 396 bbc th400 in it.

My dad drove the Mustang for a few more years, it was pretty ragged out by the late 80's. I have been carrying around with me ever since. Started restoring it a few years back and found some very rusted floor boards. I bought a welder, some sheet metal, then decided to do a "practice" build on my '75 Siverado. Now that the chevy is looking pretty good, I am itching to restore that old Ford.

My first car was a 66 Chevelle ss 396 w/ 4 speed that I got shafted on because of my stepdad. Long story, and pre drivers liscense. Living in the country, I did burn a few sets of junkyard tires off of it before I had to get rid of it.
  My first vehicle after my liscense, was a 61 Ford Econoline window van, 170 cid ( I had to rebuild one for it first after my mom threw a rod in it) with 3 on the tree. My Grandad bought it new in Dec 1960, and made it into a camper, with a couch that folded into a bed, a table that folded up, even a 12 volt coffee pot. He and Grandma drove all over the place in it I still have it, and it cant be bought.
 That was followed by a 50 Dodge Coronet that I drove out here for a year with a gas can on the front bumper because the original one wasfull of holes. Still have it too. All were acquired before I turned 17, and the corral has exploded to 20 + since then, even selling several over the years

My first car was a 1980 Chevette. I was 13 years old and my grandpa said if I could make it run I could have it. I worked all summer for a famer spraying weeds in a bean field to buy a junkyard motor for it and dropped her in.

I traded it for my first truck before I even hit 16. It was a 77 chevy silverado shortbed 4x4. It was one of the rustiest trucks you would have ever seen and had an unoriginal 283 in it that smoked pretty bad.

Mine was a 1977 Malibu Classic, 305 auto.I had got it when I turned 16. My 17th birthday my dad said he needed to barrow my car so I got to use his truck. Now mind you I never got to use his truck cause he used it for work and he was always afraid I would tear it up. So any way I had to go to work that day and when I got off I took his and washed it cleaned out the inside, as to thank him for letting me use it. He had taken mine to the local muffler shop and had new full lenght chrome side pipes put on it (granted they were cool back in the day) so he was so excited for me to notice them all I was trying to do was show him how I had cleaned his for him. Then the sun shined off the side of them and I noticed what he had done. We laugh about it now but man, that thing was loud. It was fun I could watch it pop blue flames out the side of them.

my first car was a 78 grand prix that i got when i was 16 and still have today not the best car but it is a good one it took me to elementary schools to high school

[78 Chevyrado]

First one for me was my dad's old '77 sport he bought new.  I fixed all the rust and painted it in shop class.  It looked better than it did but you could tell it was a shop class paint job


Second, (had both about the same time)  mom's old mustang she got for graduation.  it had a 302 with a 288 cam in it. it sounded so good!

'81 305 Caprice Classic.

I grew up on my family's cattle ranch, so I ended up with my Dad's hand-me-down pickup trucks. Learned to drive in a 1953 Chevy 2-ton flatbed hay truck, out in the fields.  After I got my driver's license, inherited a 1970 GMC C20 bronze with white cab, then a 1977 GMC Sierra C20 (that was a great truck!).  Both pickups were 3/4 ton longbeds with manual trannys... and real workhorses.  Those pickups got worked hard.
