Were the manual shifters on the floor or “…on the tree”? ;)

Mine was a 1991 Ranger XLT that I bought for $600. It was a 2wd single cab long bed with the 2.3L and a 5 speed. I wanted to 2.3T swap it so bad and lower it but never made it happen. The now ex-wife made me sell it 😕

1987 Chevy S-10 Fire Engine Red. Bought it new and drove it for 17 years. So plain it didn't even have any radio, lucky it had a heater.

Trucks I have had
74 F150
1995 S-10
2003 Colorado
2006 Tacoma
2010 Tacoma
2017 Ridgeline
2022 Ridgeline
2024 Maverick.

I loved my S10. Small, no frills. Great truck.
The Colorado was a POS
Tacoma was nice but too big
Ridgeline has some unique and cool features (lockable trunk in bed, tailgate that opens from bottom and side) but was a gas hog
Only had the Mav for a few weeks but like it so far. Got a chip in the windshield already.

Isn’t it funny how simplicity seems to be a common theme with the older mini trucks and just like the Mavericks there is a loyal connection.

A trip down memory lane, indeed!
My first truck was also the first vehicle with 4 wheels that I owned (just motorcycles before that) -- a 1970 Datsun. Drove it for 15 years. No need for 4WD -- just a pair of snow tires and a shovel. If the snow got too deep I'd just shovel enough snow into the back until the traction was sufficient.
Now I have to rummage around in old albums looking for pix of it.

My step dad got a 1985 Ford Ranger for us to share when I was in high school around 2001-2002. Spent a whole summer working on it, I added the new stereo and speakers myself. Loved sitting behind the wheel imagining pulling up to the school parking lot with my music loud, just loving life. Sadly we sold it before I got a chance to actually drive it. Step-dad got sick and couldn't work anymore, and I took the city bus to school to start, so he decided it was worth more in a sale. I still miss that truck even though I never got to drive it. It was all that time spent dreaming of what could have been.

97 Nissan Hardbody 4x4. I loved this truck. Why don't they make a single cab small truck anymore?
