Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread

Driving back from CostCo yesterday morning, and my youngest son says, "There's a rust bucket truck behind us". It was in the right lane, I was in the left. I moved over to prepare for a turn up ahead, and the person driving went to the other lane. It had a really ratty paint job that could be on purpose. License plate said "RUST BUC" I'll try and get a pic, next time I see it.

Pic copied from Post #41 and cropped to show the one it looked like.

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread

Check this out, this is the building I work in now. The window all the way to the left by the door is my office. I love walking around this place, the wood floor in part of it is original and it is so cool. Up stairs and below in the basement it looks like parts were stored. I is so cool looking at these old shelves thinking that there used to be parts for a truck like mine sitting there. That tow truck in the photo and the pickup behind it are what I have in my garage. Very cool indeed!

Hmmm... Gas at $1.59. Were you thinking that was pretty expensive? Most everything else up there seems to cost more.

By the looks of her eyes I’d say it was her head that smacked that windshield. OUCH!

Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread

Here is a picture of my truck actually working. My wife's grandfather was the previous owner. I purchased it from him in 1988.
