So I know this isnt a normal style post but I need help. I am an 18 year old living with my parents struggling to find a job. We dont live 100% happy and im on the verge of selling one of my trucks to take the load off of my parents. For reference I have 2 trucks I have a 79 f250 and a 83 f150 and currently the f250 runs like shit but runs and I might need to give it up to my step father so it can be brought to a better person than me and the f150 was a gift from my father that has been in my family for years. But when I got it my parents wanted nothing to do with it and it has a seized motor with a blown head gasket. Do I just give up the f250 and sell the f150 or do I keep holding on even if it hurts my parents more?

Thought I’d share 2 of the setups I’ve had.
Running a 3” Strut with 2-4” Uppers, Stock Rear

First photo is current, 20x8 Bighorn stocks on 37/13.50 Fury’s

Second is 17x9 SLT stocks with 35/12.50 Nitto mud grapplers

Beautiful truck I’ve been passing every couple of days on my way to work. I love S-10s and this one is in great shape with a great two tone paint scheme.

I’ve never seen that trim package though on one of these. And the good condition and top lights make me think it’s a service truck special trim level or maybe these are aftermarket?

Help a truck fan out if you can, thanks!

I just built this skirted flat bed/ utility bed for my truck and I'm looking to put some tool box drawers in the front boxes. I have a 12"W x 17"L x 18"T I'm also not looking to spend a whole lot the second picture is just for reference as it's not quite the right size any information or suggestions is appreciated

My Ford F-150 tailgate has started acting up and won’t latch properly. I’m not sure if it’s the latch itself or the cables causing the issue. Has anyone dealt with this before?

Found this ad in my archive from Fortune 1955. The top illustration stood out to me and the four vehicles at the bottom.

Hello I have a scrap metal yard and I recently got several boxes of this piece and several other. This piece has magnetic ends (v band and t4? Flange)
It’s a wash for the customer as he cannot get 304 stainless steel prices because of the magnetic and coating. Anyway I’m a fan of getting new things in the scrap and selling them for just over scrap price. I meet new people and them getting a deal is a great way to start a relationship. Anyway if someone could properly identify this part it will most likely make a few people happy.

Trucks went from brick shaped to round because of this beauty queen (I love old square cars and trucks too)
