NON Chevy’s in the Wild

Second one was a crewcab
The Bronco was at the same house as the conv LTD - seems to be a dedicated Ford guy.
The BAJA VW reminded me of one very similar to one like it that a buddy of mine built back in high school - that thing was a blast!

A couple of CJ-7’s still seeing regular duty for the Jeep crowd.
It might be - did not get a great look at it and the pic is too dark on the grille to tell. Either way it has Ford DNA.
Fun fact,
When I was 4 I fell out of the rear passenger door of an early 70's LTD as it made a left turn.
I grabbed the door pull and held on for a bit, then fell and had my left knee run completely over by it.
Right across the center.
I was wearing shorts and had tread imprints in the back of my knee that could be seen for days.
Lost a LOT of skin. But that was it.
Doc told my mom that if I'd been a year older it probably would have shattered my knee.
Irony of it all was on my way to what we call "Safety Town" which is basically like a pre school to teach kids Car safety.
I spent many weeks getting around by being carried or scooting around on my butt, or on a plastic skate board.
Which got me into skate boards, and 9 years later I broke my left arm through the growth plate on one..
43 years later I still have a scar from it.

It’s amazing how rubber like and resilient we all were as kids - I can’t believe that I survived all the stuff I did as a kid.Fun fact,

I was the younger brother so that made me the ginny pig for all stunts that were questionable around our house - and I was brave enough and/or dumb enough to try damn near everything.
My Dad caught us just in time before jumping off the chimney - that was an ass chewing and beating that is still with me today.
My brother got his butt tore slap up for thinking of the stunt and I got mine tore up for being dumb enough to go along with it.
We had a 71 Impala that I would lean up against the passenger door. It never opened up on me though - I guess that’s a few points for them old Chevys.
This late 90’s Yota was one of the last holdouts for still offering factory manual locking hubs ( other than the Super Duty’s ).
I wish all the OEM’s still offered them.

This stopped by.
Was his last name Walton?
He has driven that thing on 1k mile trips. Pinto conversion decades ago.
He had it at a car show recently, the 3 C8 Corvette owners asked him to move. Everyone was looking at his truck and walking by their cars. I busted up laughing at them.

I like it, it's from Indiana tho... lots of crusty flakey brown stuff on what's left of the rockers and frame.
Just looked at the title, New Carlisle Indiana. Way north part of the state.
