[LongBox]

This was a lucky find. That's 47 year-old paint, with the odd touch up by the previous owner. This is a "grandpa" truck, with hardly any options, no power steering, no power brakes, rubber floor mat, no cigarette lighter, no door switches for the dome light, etc. Sort of a farm truck that never spent any time on the farm.

I get lots of thumbs up when I take it out, it gets really lousy gas mileage, and it's a bot of a beast to drive in tight quarters, but it's a throwback to a time when vehicles were a lot simpler, easier to work on, and had more personality.

There'a a weird fuel tank in the box, not hooked up at the present time, and only held in by the pipe out the bottom, and the filler neck through the side of the box. Not sure what I will do with it, but if I want to use it, it has to be cleaned out, and hooked up, maybe with the electric switch that was used on the square bodies.

It obviously has some paint flaws, and I'd like to get rid of the hooks on the box and the camper mirrors, but that would mean messing with that original paint, which is probably not the wisest move.

Any how, I always enjoy looking at the pictures that other guys post of their trucks, and wanted to show mine off.

Thanks for looking.
