"Look pal, all I know is that the manifest says the Consigner is Prince Charming and the Consignee is Cinderella."

"The truck's handling a little weird. Could you check the toe-in?"

I used to drive my un restored 54 past this sign in LV from 69-73, Company was later changed to YESCO and a competitor to my Dads employer Federal Sign and signal. Yesco did the "howdy partner" and many other icons. The sign and many others are in a LV museum.

looks more like he's refining the edge of a mold die.
you wouldn't use a milling machine for trimming a sheet metal panel
he's using a huge mill to boot

Reminds me of the old cartoon where Santa and the reindeer have crash landed on the roof of an outhouse and the caption was "dammit rudolph, I said the Schmidt house"!

My 54 was a flight line truck from 54-64 and prolly towed a few light planes. Saw a flight line safety film (yes real reel film" showing how to safety tow planes. In it an AD looking truck towed a t33 into a telephone pole damaging the wing. Around late 1969 i saw a dodge PU truck do the exact same thing cause the tow motors were all in use and they wanted the t33 off the parking pad to make room for an F-111.

MARTINSR · 09-28-2020, 09:48 PM

Cool stuff!

I guess, by today's Chevy standards that tow vehicle would be called a double cab. Haha.
