Holy Cow!!!

That's almost worth the divorce! It looks very complete. It definitely deserves to be saved.

Looks like BillyJack is going to need some work to get that trailer bed flattened out after hauling that truck on it...

I'm thinking that's a pretty good price. Maybe even a very good price! It's definitely cool.

Wow that's something else.
Take her with you and as you flash the lights and run the siren give her the puppy dog eyes. At least it's worth a shot.

That building it's been parked in all its life must have had a dirt floor and not drained properly from the mud caked on the tires where it sank into it.

But that's a real beauty.

Bob and Chris need to go get it.

If she wasn't sooo far away, and I had the space, and if I had the financial resources, my 52 Fire Truck could have a sister!!!!

Sad indeed

The truck hobby gets a bit of grief from the wee wife on a regular basis but if it came down to having to get rid of the truck I'd sure miss the old girl.
