How many remember back when you bought a new truck, you had your choice of a spare tire or a rear bumper that came with the sale?

Last pickup I bought new was a 78 F150.
No spare. I remember telling the salesman. For almost 5.
grand you better throw in a spare and a full tank of gas.

The '77 Ford F250 I bought new right after my daughter was born came with a spare wheel and rear bumper as standard equipment, but the spare tire was an extra-cost option.
 
I bought a left over 78 Chevy Short bed 2wd. It was 5995.00 and you had a choice of a rear bumper or spare. I took the step bumper.

Damn, I must be a kid in here, of the 25 numbered ones, only number 24 the drive in because there is one still one of the last ones very near me. Other than that, I never experienced any of the others.

Of the others only the key on the dash because I have a few 67 to 9 cars.

I'm feeling like the toddler of the group here lol
