Paid a little over $10,000 for a new 79 Dodge 3/4 ton with 360, AM radio, four speed tranny, heavy radiator and brakes, power steering and brakes and nothing more. No air, rubber mats, nothing fancy. I still have that pickup and drive it occasionally just to remind me how stupid I was to spend that amount of money just so I could have a four wheel drive pickup I did not need at that time in my life. Bought a new practically bare bones 73 Plymouth Satellite for $3200 with tax and license and ready to drive. Put 300,000 miles on that car.
In comparison, a couple of years ago I was shopping for a Chev Colorado, preferably new but bare bones. A bare bones one with two wheel drive, four cylinder and five speed, rubber mats, crank windows, regular cab was quoted to me in the high $14000 range. Extended cab, $1000 more. Automatic tranny, $1000 more. I ended up with a 12000 mile 2009 used four door with automatic, five cylinder, two wheel drive, power windows and a small handful of doo dads for the price of a bare bones new one. In comparison I paid way, way too much for that 79 Dodge, waaaay too much. Jim

This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
