Ill throw my hat in as well.
My dad and I built a 77 Chevy 3/4 ton 350 engine. Later I rolled the truck and slapped a 86 body on top of it and swapped in a 454 manual 4spd tranny. This was my first truck. Dad was a firm believer in building your first rig would put a sense of responsibility into caring for your vehicle. 15 yrs later Im still driving it.

91 *-10 5spd 4cyl.
72 Chevy C-10
87 *-10 Auto. 6 cylinder. (P.O.*.)
91 Pontiac Grand Prix 3.1v6
96 *-10 V6 Auto (Current vehicle)
