I bought a 1993 Ford F-150 back in 2000 after needing a new vehicle. Since, at the time of purchase, I was currently in the construction trade and working outside a lot, I decided to look for a truck. I figured (correctly!) that I could haul more supplies and materials than my old 1970 VW campervan that I had converted to a work vehicle. The Ford F-150 is a beefy beast of a gas hog but, boy howdy, does is go! It used to go fast and hard. Oh, I still have the truck and am currently driving it until it dies. It is at 206,000 right now and some stuff is falling off of it, but it is still going! Oh, here's a quick tip! If you play electric guitar, an electric guitar will fit behind the bench seat if it's in a gig bag!
