Abe,
That's an RV refrigerator. My buddy's overhead camper has succumbed to rot and is falling apart. He let me take the fridge to replace the one in my travel trailer. Mine leaked all the ammonia out.

Took a quick trip to Lowe's this morning to get some 2X4's Flatbed sure makes it easy to load 8' boards.
I had three guys stop and ask me questions as I was getting ready to head back home. I'm still at the point where I enjoy having folk stop me and ask questions.

Hooked up the trailer and headed to California....Missouri that is...
Grabbed my workbench and emptied my mother in law's shed. My daughter will be very happy to be able to use the shed now. I think they will be using it for their dogs.
It was 85 degrees with 20-30 mph winds. We got a little snow on Friday. My truck didn't like the hills driving home.

Folks,
Saw this thread and will add this working truck picture. The well drilling truck is a 48 Ford I think. The 32 dump truck in the background is the one I have in my shop now. It carried the water cans (milk cans) and the pipe for the well drilling operation. (circa mid 1940's??) In North west PA.

Bessie hauling a whopping 160 lbs of scrap metal to the scrap yard. She earned $11.20, a good days pay in 1948.

I don't make my 50 F1 work too often anymore but I did picked up 20 bags of mulch and 8 bags of river stone to freshen up the flower beds this Spring. Always makes a hit at Lowe’s when I use an old truck for what it is suppose to be used for. Young guy that loaded it for me was concerned he was over loading it. I told him it wasn’t possible to over loaded it with what he was putting on it. The mulch got the springs down to where they were still an inch from touching the over load springs. The 8 bags of stone brought it dow to just touching the overloads.

Hmmm, I didn't see it. But with all the sweat-equity I put into the soccer club I think I'll be excused.
