Re: Forest Service Trucks

Thanks for the warm welcome everybody.

LockDoc: this one is a little more optioned-out than the traditional Forest Service truck- AM/FM/cassette deck radio, AC, cloth seat- vinyl floor mat and manual windows and locks though. They also added a gooseneck plate and brake controller, so it was set up perfectly for a farm truck. When it was first here, my brother's kids were briefly amused by rolling up the windows by hand- they'd only ever seen power windows before.

72 tigger: I think in the late 60s they were using the light green- which shows up well on an overcast/foggy day- but the truck in your photo could have been owned by a state or local park. I really like the darker shade of green, that is a nice truck.
