so, I took her out today to help out for a friend's party, this is the first time she's done 'real' work since I got her.
she ran perfectly....I'm so proud
I know its not alot of work....but I'm still proud of her!

 

Awesome! I love seeing these old beauties doing what they were built to do.
You had to have been having a blast with this.

 

fantastic!! love the pics

 

Nice... If I was not too far I would have even went down main street to show my truck off doing some work.

 

hello,,,i am not sure but would you sell her?

 

Excellent

Glad to see you out enjoying the truck

You should add those pics to the "Working Trucks Only" thread! Looking better than a show queen!

 

So cool, so, ready, so Ford. They make you proud to just be seen behind the wheel dont they? congrats.

 

I Love it. To see them do what Mr Ford made them for.

 

Nice bike too. Is is a Hiawatha or Good Year?

 

sorry KOMBILOVE, she's not for sale, I intend to keep her for as long as I can!
it was beautiful driving her, couldn't see a single thing behind me, but where's the fun in seein' behind ya?

51PanelMan, thanks! that's actually a '42 Elgin bike

 

you should be proud, that's the way the real truck would have looked in its day. love it!

 

If there ever was a cool screenname - you have it!

 

Well, good to see the old gal earning her keep. I tell new truck owners that they will never be w/o a truck the rest of their lives. Old or new they get in your blood and you have to have one, always.
