Nice Work Truck

My neighbor is getting a new roof and the roofing company has parked this in his driveway to haul the scrap materials. Nice to see such a fine work truck. I can only imagine how many loads to the dump it has made. If my roof wasn't 2 years old, I would get a new one just to have it parked in my driveway for a couple of days!

Re: Nice Work Truck

Good looking truck and it's amazing how many of the big trucks still work every day or every harvest season just as they have for the past sixty something years. A couple of the big hop growers around this area ran AD trucks for hop harvest for over 50 years until they finally wore them all out and changed to different trucks. They would be lined up beside the hop kilns in the off season.

Re: Nice Work Truck

That is very cool. I can imagine these guys have a lot of people take photos of their truck when they park them in the driveway like that.

Re: Nice Work Truck

I really like the fact that given that these old truck tend to mark their territory, the roofing crew laid down a tarp.

Re: Nice Work Truck

Hi Magicoolbus

I am waiting for 1951 1 ton Chevy truck to be dropped off at my place....it is a well worn farm type truck and I think I am going to keep it just that...well except to upgrade brakes and a newer truck rear end to make it more traffic friendly too...I wanna keep it a well worn farm truck..

thanks for posting on here...I really enjoy the stock look of these AD style trucks...such character and soul they have...way cooler than stuff they are building now...
