One of my former co-workers was a real farmer's daughter. Her dad ran a commercial farm, and had a crew of several farm workers. He would go to the local Ford dealer and order the most striped down cheapest possible farm truck. He would put farm truck tags on them so no road taxes.

He would order them with no heaters, or AC, floormats, or anything that cost a few cents more. He never got a radio, and one year when the radio was not optional, they just came with a AM radio, he paid the dealership to remove it. Finally when the heaters were just built in and not easy to remove he decided they could keep the heaters. He made the farm hands hose out the interiors to keep the floorboards free of inches of mud and dirt. And the truck he drove was the same way.

He would go to the dealership every 6 or 7 years and get new trucks because they all had a tough life on his farm with hired hands driving them. It got to be cheaper to replace them than fix them. He would just park the old ones in a pasture and only sell them to a hired hand for as much as he could get. My co-worker said people often stopped and asked if one of the old trucks was for sale. He was just weird about selling one of them.
