This dumb little red pickup is probably the most popular vehicle I own, and is the only "legitimate" original owner vehicle I can claim.
I ordered this truck in 1986 when my company car was taken away. I followed it down the assembly line as it was being built and drove it off the end of the line myself. I drove it for four years, mostly in Arizona, and sold it to my father-in-law when I regained the GM company vehicle again.
He drove it for 18 years, in Arizona and Montana, until his passing in 2008. The family asked if I wanted it back and I said yes, which makes me the original - and third - owner of this truck.
Mechanically it was in good shape when I got it back but cosmetically he beat the crap out of it. I took the summer of 2009 and "restored it" - in the driveway - from May to September. It is basically once again my daily driver, although I shield it from the elements when I can.
