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

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
