  • In this video, we highlight 17 year old, Joseph Connelly, and his shortbed first gen Dodge Power Ram 4x4. And, man, is this one clean truck. Give Joseph a hand for not only saving money from summer jobs to work on his truck, but for putting some back into savings, too. Leave him a comment below and let him know how proud you are of him for loving these trucks and being a part of one of the greatest communities in the world: classic trucks.

Keep listending to your dad, it sounds like he's giving you good advice. I'll tell you something I don't say very often. If you were my son, I would be proud as hell of you. You're going' places, young man. Whatever your dream is, keep working toward it.

    When I was 15 I almost had my hands on a 1 of 500 special edition Volkswagen I've wanted for years but my dad didn't want to go that far. Had the cash, just couldn't drive yet. Car probably worth 4x what I would have paid now lol. 4 years later I now own 3 other volkswagens and I'm looking at buying a truck to daily. Probably a first gen D150, build a 4 link for the rear and drop it a bit with maybe a mercedes diesel under the hood. 400hp and 600ft-lbs sounds good for a daily.
