Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread
I was back in the 40/50's Ran a oil distribution That would be my grandfather and my dad and uncle.
Dad and uncle learned to drive in that tanker. I would be the III hence why I like the picture. always thought about getting a reo 1.5 ton and making a custom camper look like that on outside would be cool. |
