My heart goes out to you gruntiabor-- thank you for the welcome.
Yes, I'm one of the last in my family--- it's gut wrenching to watch.
I remember THE LIFE OF RILEY also... and it is a revoltin' development...

Been there, done that, but, mine cost a wee bit more.

According to a US-dollar inflation calculator, that price advertised for the truck would be equivalent to a bit over $19000 today. The $10 then was equivalent to $121. now. Sigh

Wow! What a beauty.

Yep, it was a fun truck. One of the few things I regreted later on was heating and bending the springs to lower it. I did however think the rims painted to match the truck rather than the gold color that I painted first was an improvement.

My car keys, most of the pocket knives I've ever owned, my glasses... the list goes on.

Every single bicycle I ever owned. With the best and most expensive locks I could get, and once locked in a bike locker too, EVERY one of them was stolen from me. Oh well. Can't ride them now anyway, oh well. LOL
