National Drive Your Old Truck Day

From our facebook page:

"Remember - Sunday, June 29, is 'National Drive Your Old Truck Day.'
Spread the word!! Tell all your friends, family, neighbors, the guy at the hardware store…etc."

That includes Pelicans too! I know there are some old truck owners here. Just drive your truck and send us a picture. We publish selected photos in our magazine and on our website.

So long as 32 years can be considered old, I usually keep it real at least twice a week.

I'll probably have to haul off my trash on Sunday too.

I guess my 28 year old El Camino does not quite qualify.

It's bad when the guys at the dump think you're leaving the truck too.

25 years old qualifies for antique plates, so it's old.

I would so send someone out there to pull on the recoil cord while I fire up that beast.

It needs an "oooga" horn.

I need to put a starter push button on the firewall. had an aooga horn. took it off long ago. a little too "normal" old car for me. I have a "bull" horn (sounds like a bull) for it or a set of very loud big airhorns I'll put on one day maybe
