Today I climbed up into my 2003 F-150 4x4 Supercrew shut the door just as I have done hundreds of times before. Rode her through her 155,416th mile just as she did her 117th mile, beautifully!
I opened the door stepped out and half way to through the doors to Home Depot I remembered I left the materials list in the center console of my truck so I turned around headed back to my truck. Underneath the truck right even with the drivers door there was a 3x1" rusty piece of metal. Picking it up I wondered what its story was. Where did it come from? Will it be missed? Was it important? The contemplating lasted just long enough and it was back to shopping.
Sadness followed when I opened the door to my truck and found three more pieces of steel. It appears my baby is rusting and the bottom inside of the drivers side door is pretty much gone.
I love this truck and don't want to buy a new truck and I don't want my old friend to rust out from underneath me.
Any one else feel strange connections to their trucks/tractors alike?
