The editor of This Old Truck magazine emailed me and asked if he could use my truck in the magazine, he sent a photographer, I picked the location.
My compensation was getting the truck on e cover and 12 copies of the magazine

I couldn't do a wedding shot with mine... but a parade maybe .. and get the local high school band or a company of National Guard... then each one could carry a piece of my truck in the parade...

Now that's funny right there. Give them all a wrench or a piece of sandpaper and get you one of those TV 10 day show quality trucks.

What do yall think a fair rental price would be?

A couple years ago a photographer saw my truck, stopped and asked if she could use my truck on a photo shoot for a gal in her high school graduation pictures. I did not know her or her client but I said yes. We never talked money just schedules. The gal was a beautiful young lady of Asian decent and the look of her posing next to good old American 56 F 100 was very cool. It was a great experience for all.

Did he see your truck at a show or something? Do you have a bigger picture?

that's pretty neat to have your truck in a magazine.

Abe, it was in 1998 for the 50th anniversary of the F series truck. He saw it right here on FTE. I have a hard time posting pictures on here. I can send a better one on email
