Triston’s ’76: Two Stuck Vehicles on Christmas Eve

Triston bought his 1976 Ford in 2025. Asked what kind of truck he wanted, his answer was simple: this exact one.

The story

His first story is a Christmas Eve rescue that did not quite go to plan. In 2025, he got his bike stuck in a river. He brought the Ford in to pull it out, then got the truck stuck too.

He tells it with a laugh. The truck is still early in its life with him, and he has not made many upgrades yet.

What comes next

Triston wants a better bed and eventually a camper. For now, his recommendation is to own at least one old truck or car in your lifetime. His ’76 already has a story worth telling.
