You'll have to look in the album to see the final mileage. This truck did some serious damage in that area. I don't know anything about cars, but apparently some decades ago Toyota had this promotion thing where if you reached a certain mileage, they'd give you a brand-new truck. My dad's Toyota passed that particular mile-marker a long time ago.
I put a Steppenwolf video with the slideshow, one of Dad's favorite songs and one we rocked out to in the pickup many a time. *** "Wild" might well describe the experience of riding in the truck in the past few months - my dad sometimes didn't know if he could reach a destination of any length in it reliably. Quite often you could find Dad sprawled beneath the truck, doing his best to keep it running for another week, month, whatever. Because of its rather unpredictable nature, Dad was really the sole user (though Julie and I have been known to arrive at school many times in this "sweet ride").
So long, truck. You served us well.
LOVE this photoshoot! ..all the artsy photos were awesome, and LOL at your dad posing on the pickup, hilarious! Thanks for sharing, I always love your point of view.
ReplyDelete331+!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really think he deserves a new free pickup for getting it that far. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of your dad in the truck with the door open...also all those sweet shots of the rust.
