Okay so my underwater truck wasn't so odd to some of you. But this current auction on eBay might fit the bill: 1946 Fire-Truck-Turned-Ice Cream_Truck...anyone have $32Gs laying around?

I don't hate it, I just don't like it very much. Not really my style.
Somehow, roadster pick-ups after the late 30's just don't look quite right to me. Too nose heavy proportionally or something....I don't know

As everyone who has read my posts know, I don't like screwed up truck but I do like that roadster truck. It's not a rusty tetanus ridden truck, it actually has nice shiny paint . I only hope it started out with the commonly rusted out roof. To me it would be sad to find out it has a solid cab to star with.

Other than the color, I like it. I love that he kept the stock steering column.

I don't know if these have been posted before but if they were they are good to see again:

This one is appropriate now. It is in Philadelphia. The watermark says Temple U. Archives.


Here is another snow related picture:


And for you COE and M-H and Monkey Face fans I bring you this from the Danish Army. And it is also snow related, with chains!

That snow thrower is sick. There was a MH Ford with a Snogo for sale locally on Craigslist recently. Tempting!

Edit: STILL AVAILABLE! http://syracuse.craigslist.org/cto/5398378057.html
