Comments? You want comments? How about a whole story?

When Ford designed the '42 pickup, I think they hired some guy who
thought the Mack Bulldog is cute. If you look at the Dodge, Chevy and
International trucks of the same period you see some class, curves and
chrome, not bad stuff. Now look at the '42 Ford, looks like it ran into
a brick wall and was rebuilt by a stone mason. Anything built that ugly
got to have some friends.

Back in the early sixties, my father, who was just getting serious as a
lobster fisherman, needed a truck to haul his traps. Into the yard
rolled a black, somewhat beat '47 Ford pickup. Wood bed, 6 cylinder
flatmotor, 4 speed with "dually dual" low gear, military style tires,....
