OPINIONS
Since this is the ranch equipment issue, we decided to ask our Facebook friends what they liked or disliked about their fi rst pickup truck.
First Pickup Truck: Love or Hate?
Dawna Dunn Newton: That I sold it! Cynthia D. Alexander Garrett: I loved my red Dodge. It was one that still had the ram statue on the front — drove that to heck and back. The horses nibbled the edges of the back and broke off the horn going through the fi eld. Tony Rast: 1968 Chevy C10, 396 ci with a 3 on the tree, all power with factory bucket seats, gold on white — 8 mpg! Jimmy Richeson: 1974 half-ton Chevy pickup — green. UGGGGLY, lemme tell ya. Bob Mearns: I “disliked” the kid in the Z-28 that ran a red light and totaled my F-150. It was a 390 cid 3-speed — it WAS a great truck! James Whittlesey: ’84 Chevy K1500 4-speed manual,
locking hubs.
Man, I miss that truck! Great farm truck. No A/C
Facebook Feedback Social media, Facebook, Twitter, Four- square, LinkedIn — there are so many ways to communicate electronically. We’re even jumping into the mix with The Cattleman NOW and The Cattleman Plus, our smart- phone and tablet apps. We’ll be using these new methods of communication this year to ask for your opinions on timely topics. Some, like this one, will be a bit light- hearted. Others may be more serious.

116 The Cattleman June 2013
so the Texas summer was a killer. Tony Landry: ’73 Ford with a 302. Man, that was a good truck! David Wagner: ’74 F250 with a 460. Could blow the hair off of the cows going down the highway. Patti Warren: It was a 1973 Ford XLT. My daddy had just bought it and it was candy apple red. Loved it! He had it until a couple of years ago. My brother inherited it, but I sure thought I was a big shot driv- ing around town in that! Keith Fesnke: 2006 regular cab Chevy 2500hd. Great ranch truck! Larry Stalcup: A 13-year-old ’53 Chevy — “The Bomb” — which jumped out of third gear. Leslie McDaniel: Power Wagon. My father was so glad when he got a real pick up truck and was able to ditch the Power Wagon. It had no shocks! The shell of the Power Wagon is still sitting in the pasture where he left it!
