(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>When it comes to variety of manufacturers in trucks let\u2019s just say the FoMoCo and Dodge peoples let us down.\u00a0 I expect better next year.\u00a0 One highlight was a brown workhorse known as a Rampage.\u00a0 I\u2019d seen this one a week earlier and other than these two sightings nearly two decades have passed since I\u2019d seen an example with my own two eyes.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If it wasn\u2019t for photographs I\u2019d thought they\u2019d gone the way of the unicorns.\u00a0 Another rarity was the late, blue Ranchero.\u00a0 I remember seeing several of these when they were new.\u00a0 Where\u2019d they all go\u2026?\u00a0 Please don\u2019t tell me they got auctioned and shipped to the Middle East and now have a pet camel strapped down in the bed being carted around.\u00a0 Think I\u2019m joking\u2026?\u00a0 Nope\u2026it was quite common when I was there in the early 90s.<\/p>\n

The group with the highest numbers were early Chevys (\u201947-\u201953 made a strong showing) which I will not complain about much because they are so good looking.\u00a0 I will admit my favorite truck was the red \u201979 Ford sport-side with a paint scheme I remember well from commercials, ads, and brochures back then.\u00a0 The hot-air device under the hood was unexpected and makes this rig quite appealing.\u00a0 It\u2019s got a good, driveable ride-height and an overall killer appearance.\u00a0 That kick-in-the-pants boost makes it a ride I\u2019d be proud to roll in anywhere.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m pretty sure there\u2019s only one more gallery left.\u00a0 Check back to catch it.<\/p>\n
