A few right-hand drive trucks in that bunch. Pretty cool!

 

If you look closer, I think they're two different trucks. I had to do a double take myself. ;-)

Wish I had more of the phone service truck. Also tossed in a pic of my F6. It used to be the community farm truck for hauling gravel/sand for many years. Before that it used to be the school's plow truck up in Ely, MN.

 

Here are links to the truck I just bought. It will be restored and used to haul some of my other toys, and assist in rebuilding some of them also.

Here's a couple;

 

Bobby, I'm liking that first picture!

 

Ilya,

LOL...thats quite a paint job for the time period isn't it?

 

Not only that, but I'd love to drive by a Ford dealership and see a row full of Ford trucks like in the picture.

 

Whoever heard of a plaid truck? Unbelievable.

 

For some reason,that guy in the skirt looks familiar.

 

Regarding the plaid paint, I have to wonder, is it all hand painted, or did they mask all that off and spray it?
Either way, what a tremendous amount of work. Wow.

 

I'd bet it's vinyl, they had stuff like that back then.

Here's a pic of my friend's uncle's new '53; I'm told the pic was taken within a week of purchase for his farm. No coddling back then!

 

Definitely no coddling. And we wonder why when we find our trucks, they're all beat up and rusty. ;-) It looks like he's maybe lost his gas cap already. Just a little spillage. ;-)
