The thing is: The collector demand for trucks is miniscule when compared to cars. These trucks aren't rare, aren't worth much, but are money pits.

The economy sucks and a gallon of regular gas is fast approaching 5 bucks a gallon. So, they are only worth what people are willing to pay for them.

Last Friday, while on the way home from a long time (since 1929) LA truck wrecking yard, spotted a 1957 F100 Styleside parked next to an industrial building in Santa Fe Springs.

Taking a short cut thru a Whittier residential area (I always look up driveways), spotted another 1957 F100 Styleside. That's two found within 10 minutes.

Neither of these trucks looked like they had moved in years, and there are many more out there. Gotta love LA LA Land, cuz there's more old rolling piles of misery located here than anywhere else. Why?

Large population, so many were sold new. And, since it hasn't snowed here in LA LA Land since September 1949, there are next to no rust issues, there's no need to use salt on the roads.
