Here's mine. It's an '88 Centurion Conversion. My dad bought it brand new. He had a '75 regular cab dually before this one. Before taking delivery of the truck in August of '88, we went to the Centurion shop in Michigan and actually saw the truck in progress on the line. It was delivered in August of '88 with 12 miles on the odometer. It has 80,000 now, but unfortunately it's condition makes it look more like 180,000. When I was in high school, I kept the truck cleaned and waxed for my dad. My payment for the detailing was to be allowed to take the truck out on the weekends sometimes. After I went off to college, my dad didn't pick up the slack and the truck quickly went downhill. The paint is shot and the dash pad is history. It's in need of a lot of restoration work. After going through 3 transmissions, my dad swapped in a 5-speed about 10 years ago.

Tonight mine pulled a few cars out of snowbanks, and is sitting in my driveway, icicles on the grille, wheels just white cakes of snow, buried up to the lug nuts in powder, straps and chains wrapped around the bumpers, the outline of the wipers clear in 4 inches of snow on the windshield... A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.
