Re: Post a photo of your truck in action.

My truck doesn't really go "in action" anymore. It's retired like I am.

The 1955 owner drove it daily to his job at the old FORD plant in Pico Rivera, CA (now long gone) and stopped driving it in 1999 as he was too old to drive it according to the guy he sold it to....who had it for 6 months before selling it to me.

Original owner welded in a 1/8" plate over the bed wood (which caused it to rot eventually) but he apparently never used it to carry anything. It had ZERO dents in it and the one rust spot was a tiny amount in the front panel curl. The painter was shocked. He said he'd never seen a truly old truck with NO dents!

Anyway, this is an old shot of me taking my now gone little friend, Joey to the dog park. He was very devoted and a true friend and companion. He loved sticking his head out of the truck for "snout air". Rest in Paradise, Joe. I love you.
