Problem with my truck

[Gman]

I had a 1975 Pinto Wagon with the fake wood trimmed sides I drove thru my high school years. Coolest car ever.

I drove the family 1972 Pinto Squire, blue with faded vinyl wood trim, in high school. Always seemed to have problems with the starter solenoid. I could roll start that thing like a champ. Parked uphill in the school parking lot in the morning and would start it in reverse out of the parking spot in the evening, and off I'd go.

Worked pretty well for a high school kid living in Oregon when a couple of guys could load it with camping gear and take off to the mountains. Had some fun drifting that thing on logging roads getting out to do some stream fishing. Was not a cool car, but it beat walking. Killed that car going over Raton Pass in the summer of '83.

'71 chevy Impala. Originally gold with white hard top. My dad and I painted it completely tan for some reason. I guess I was ahead of the curve on FDE. LOL

4 doors, and you could ride 6 comfortably, 7 if you didn't want to crowd the driver, 8 if you had too.

Huge trunk as well.

Treated it like a truck during pheasant season. Undercarriage was polished clean by the stubble, and we didn't start any fires, thank the heavens.


Sent from somewhere...

Probably because it ran on regular gas and didn't have a catalytic converter.

Based off of some of the vehicles you guys drove in high school I?m guessing some of you weren?t exactly popular with the ladies.

Hell I could fit a queen size matress and a keg in the back and did!

Had a steady GF from freshman to mid junior year until I wrecked her just cherried out 66 impala......long painful story

Funny how a political thread quickly spun into a bunch of guys reminiscing about their high school days.

Its because I think we all are over the bs so might as well think about something better.

Last of the 401 v8 American Motors production....I use to be able to rev it and watch the gas gauge just drop.....good times

That’s funny, I had a 79 Cherokee with a 401.
What a beast, it had the limited slip and in 2wd there was very little it couldn’t muscle through. In 4wd it was unstoppable.
I bought it from the original owner with 18,000 miles on it, I think it was called the Cherokee Chief, it was loaded to the gills but didn’t have the wood grain. I bought for $750.00 after a hailstorm, it looked like a golfball and I had to replace the windshield but mechanically it was perfect and an absolute beast.

The problem with your truck...is a loose nut behind the wheel.

No, this nut is clearly overtorqued

My F250 has Goodyears and it has been pulling to the left all week.

Well played sir, you hooked quite a few.
