I thought the same exact thing when I looked at his pics. Picture of a lifetime.

I had a blast driving the frame around. I should have stopped there and saved a lot of money!
That is my niece as the passenger. At first she was a bit scared because the hot exhaust pipe and whirling driveshaft were right there inches away. And gravel gets kicked up from the tires and hits you. But kids get over things fast and before long it was 'GO FASTER UP THE HILL!"

From one stock F-2 to another, beautiful truck. I know, it's a Manure Spreader but it's still a very beautiful truck.
