Bobby,
Nice example of a working truck! I used to haul engines in Willard. The result was having to replace/weld in a new original style floor in the bed! I was young and not very careful.

Thanks Jim. I'm glad you're getting out there and having fun with your truck. It's a beauty and needs to be seen!

Ah, the fun we had when we were young and didn't know any better (or...when we were young and knew it all)

Sometimes I wonder if those guys that bought or even built these trucks ever thought they would still be working today?

Last weekend a storm came through our town and topped two white pine trees at our soccer complex. Today a former player of mine chopped them up and we loaded the branches on my truck and his trailer. A guy at the landfill says, "Hey, nice truck! But that's too nice to be bringing it to the dump!"
