All I think is, "Let's rock!!" Wouldn't that thing be great to have, along with a limitless fuel card, and be able to romp around in?

Good one (especially if it's for real. You wouldn't think a flathead could handle that much of a driveline ....)

There's no way that truck has a stock engine in it. Even with the big 337 V8 it would never have the power to make it budge.

I think that's the truck they use to fight fires on 2 story buildings.

Would you have preferred it to be built as a rat rod! At least they kept the body looking fairly stock.

Saw this the other day, a 1955 Big Job Crew cab, in a 1957 movie.

I had it directly linked to the time, but doesn't seem to be working... it's the 1:04 mark, also appears a little later

What a way to destroy an F5. The purple doors are awful.

Uh oh... I have been thinking about getting an RV for some temporary housing till' I get my house built....

Does it run? I would guess not.... Roll maybe? If it rolls I might be able to work with that

We just bought an RV to live in while we build our new house this summer. I tried to talk the wife into trading 'up' to this one and sell the travel trailer, but amazingly she failed to see the humor and didn't think the neighbors would be too keen. I think they already hate me for all the other trucks I have laying around, anyway, so no big deal to me.
