In the spring of '79, I got a job working on a cattle/dry farming ranch while I was in college in San Luis Obispo, and the rancher had a beat up '69 short bed step side that I think was his truck originally, and he handed it down to the ranch hands. It was light blue and a little rusty, the front end was completely worn out (don't go faster than 45!) and the body looked like it had been used for a pinata, but it always started and went wherever you wanted it to go. Fell in love with them right then and there.
