1968 Dodge Pickup
This was an impulse buy, pure and simple. I got it from a guitar playing guy in a local band. He was talking about how his truck was doing him wrong at this coffee shop. I looked at the truck and told him I’d give him his price: $50.00. It had a strong 318 and a full and relatively rust free frame. Too bad the same couldn’t be said for the doors. They were just about inoperable. This ’68 was an enormous orange thing that had apparently been featured on somebody's album cover. When I got it home, my roommate/longtime friend fell head over heels in love with it. I gave it to him for what I had into it and he drove it for a while. Unfortunately, the leaf sweepers got it in one of their tow truck raids while my buddy was out of town at a funeral. You bastards!!! It went to the impound lot where we didn’t go get it. I’ve seen it out on the streets again, so someone must have bought it. I hope they fixed the doors.
