There is a 56 good humor truck in the aburn auction. Looks like a fun machine.

That post didn't turn out like I thought it would

 

Man, it's no secret that I like the professional and work trucks! SWEET! I think I like the milk truck best......but then I drink a gallon every 2 days.

 

Hey, Maybe since I'm currently unemployed, I should get both and start a Mail/Milk delivery service!
Got Mik with that Mail?

 

Yeah, Dick. You could write off the cost of the restorations as a business expense!

 

Very Nice find! I like the mail truck only because it looks less ugly than that milk truck. #2427207075 -now thats a real truck(minus the cottiebob engine)! -4speed P.S Dick, if you need any employees I'm there as long as I'm the milkman!

 

I like the odd stuff. I figure anyone can restore a F-1, not like that is easy either, but it's unique when one of the altered trucks survive through all these years. I would love to find a one ton tow truck in my area for a decent price. There is a F-7 Marmon-Herrington wrecker about forty miles from here that is in really nice shape. I just can't justify buying such a big truck. I have a few pictures of odd trucks on my web site and am always looking for more.

 

Either one of those trucks would be cool to fix up to use with a business, there's a guy in town that does the fancy pruning work with schrubs, he drives a 48 IH around with a hugh black Lab in the back. Everyone knows him and what he does.

 

Is that the German variety of bushes??

 

When ya pay as much as he charges ya get to call em that

 

"I would love to find a one ton tow truck in my area for a decent price."

You know what, there are two at a place near where I worked this whole summer, along with a '5X Ranchero with a Edsel front end . That is the coolest thing I have ever seen.

Oh ya, the trucks are a '51 Deluxe cab and a '48-'50 whatever. The '51 has a nice bed and the other one has the bare frame with the winch on it.

Hey -

1952 Ford Delivery
Yet another ol' workin' girl looking for a new home: #2427097096
This one looks like it has a longer wheelbase.

California's got the market cornered on these things!

 

Clayton,

Is this the Edsel Ranchero you mentioned?



The truck was built by a guy in Lubbock, it appeared in the January/February issue of "This Old Truck" (now "Vintage Truck") magazine. If it is the truck from the article, it looks like he did a real nice job. Just curious, do you know how much he is asking for it?
