When you refer to your truck as your "bump" in conversations with your buddies and you get a lot of funny looks . " So guys I was turning wrenches on my bump this weekend... "

, Nice to know I'm not the only one! I'm just so used to referring to the '71 as a bump on here that when I'm talking with anyone about the '71 it's the first thing that rolls off my tongue .Casey

Cuttin' it a little close, ain't ya.
You know you own a bump when…The bluebook value of your truck goes up and down with the amount of fuel in your tanks.

Re: you know you own a bump when....
This one is so true. I had a middle age gentlemen approach me with his hat in his hand and ask if he could look around my pickup. I said sure I didnt mind. A minute later I notice hes tearing up. I asked him if he was ok he replied " my daddy had a pickup JUST like this one when I was a kid. Id ride with him everywhere, he passed away when I was young and mom sold the truck, I saw your's here and i just had to come by to look, thanks for letting me have the time" and he walked away. I was speechless I didnt know what to say.R.Smith wrote:When at least once a week someone says "I like your truck...my dad had one of those"
When that persons dad says "I had one of those...and I wish I'd never sold it"
When the guys who make a living collecting scrap constantly ask you how much you want for your truck.
My contribution will be you know you own a bump when you have one for driving and one or more for "fixing up"!

Re: you know you own a bump when....
You have no idea. I live in Oklahoma, and am on Route 66 DAILY. all the major highways round here are under constant construction but the old highway is still there unused by todays modern traffic. I've also located the original alignments of all the area highways. Now just well paved unused country roads.Florian wrote: when you prefer to take country back roads rather than going the fastest way, just to feel like it´s 1971 and your truck is new haha
I can still go 55-60 and 65 on old 66 with no traffic to worry bout and great scenic views. It's so relaxing. It's great to be in the state with the most original pavement of Old 66. Pretty much the entire run of the old road is still intact and drivable. I've got property and family scattered across the state, and i'll gladly tae old 66 instead of the main interstates.

Re: you know you own a bump when....
How about when you're more polite to your truck than any of the people in your life.
I apologized to my truck the other day before I did something. A friend of mine got his semi stuck in a little bit of grass. I was on the pavement, hooked a chain to him, put it in 4WD, brought the chain tight and said "sorry buddy" and laid into it.
