Surprised this one aint' been bumped back up in awhile...I live in bump heaven, (compared to So. Florida where they crushed all the bumps)! :( Here's a few I've spotted:
This guy drives this Ranger past me almost everyday.

And I'm sure everyone has one of these on their Christmas list! :eek:

Good afternoon Jeff,

I think that pink Flareside looks awesome and one-of-a-kind! I've always thought pink looked great on most classic cars.

Your killin' me Robroy! :lol: The truck is sitting at a local body/paint shop here, so the paint is brand new and really shiny. I just couldn't drive a pink truck! :doh:

Saw this old rusty '72 today LWB. Not bad looking to me. It caught my attention because its the same color as my bump, winter green. The only difference is that this bump has the fancy trim, tailgate, different hubcaps, a whole lot of surface rust, and push bar things on the front bump. I think the rust patina is kinda neat. Wonder why its up on blocks under the driver side?

Could not have said it better myself. A cool chick in a pretty pink bumpside would be cool to hang out with and cruise with imo.

I agree, there is nothing more awesome than a girl who owns a bump. Especially if that girl worked on it herself. Any man with a girl like that should be dang proud!

The truck has "Sandy Cane" on the front and rear. Maybe a chick named Sandy? Anyway that's a beautiful truck, especially in Pennsylvania!

Yeah...I got that going on. It's the one thing that makes everything seem okay in life when I see her pull up in that truck.

I probably posted pictures of this '72 F250 that I had seen about 20 miles from home before, but it was parked just down the road from me the other day. The owner was not around, but I did snoop around a bit and take some more pictures. Like my truck, it looked better a few years ago. It is growing some rust in the usual spots. It does look like it is set up to be a worker though. Maybe I'll run into the owner some time.

Not my town, but a bump I'd love to own! Rural TN town. Sat idling, purring like a new Ford. We'll call the owner "Doc" till he can speak for himself.
