    1. 1978 F150 4x4 I still have it, and while I owned all the others, I still drove it for work and play, just was bad on gas. And I didn't have a home to store any projects, lol.

    2. 1976 Toyota Corolla Deluxe
    3. 1969 Chrysler New Yorker
    4. 1979 Chrysler Lebaron
    5. 1983 Chevrolet Chevette
    6. 1978 F150 4x4 (another one)
    7. 1976 Dodge ext. cab pickup 4x4
    8. 1966 Bronco
    9. 1973 1210 IHC pickup 4x4
    10. 1987 Bronco II
    Then I got a place to live, and the total jumped a lot, lol. A few more dentside Fords mostly. Sprinkled in with a few more IHC 4x4's, and some 80's Ford 4x4's. And now a turn for the old iron.

    Hi Boilermaker,

    That's quite a list. And now you got a cool avatar too.... Glad to see you dumped that default one. It is the worst. I wish I could figure out how to change it.
