Absolutely AWESOME!

I wish I could find the picture of 12-year-old me driving the '58 F-700 on our fram. The steering wheel was as big as I was!

Josh, is that truck near you? If so, you need to rob that truck of its 5 Star Deluxe parts.

My '50 is used around the shop. Use it to take trash to the dumpster, will be used to run errands, make deliveries and pickups too once it's running 100%.

Hi It looks like the larger one is a propane bottle. Propane is a lot better (hotter) for cutting than acetylene and cheaper but you cannot weld with it.

I was heading out to a local lake today to do some canoeing and took this pic. This truck belongs to a local apple orchard (Dixon's Apples) that is falling on hard times. We had a HUGE forest fire in the canyon they are situated in and between the damage from the fire and the mudslides and flashfloods afterwards they are in bad shape......might not be able to survive.

I hope they find a way to make it through.
