Just another day at the track.

Very, very cool that you've seen it in person. I have many pictures of the Y job saved on my computer at home. I keep hoping it will be a guest at a spot within driving distance of me.

Are you a member of the Facebook page where that was just posted? I dig that photo, wow!

An unintentional chopped top.

Wow.

1project2many · 12-23-2018, 10:42 PM

A few more. Panel truck is interesting... armored car maybe??

MARTINSR · 12-23-2018, 11:04 PM

That is an armored car! Check out the windshield is made of bullet proof glass!

I realize the truck in this photo is not the General's favorite, but the picture is too cool to pass up. The racer who built the car and truck raced on a small east coast track that has since been replaced by a bunch of Six Flags carnival rides. The track never produced much. A few small time guys like Geoff Bodine, Richie Evans, and Maynard Troyer raced there with thousands of locals over the years so it's not likely to be missed. But the car/truck combination is a good reminder of the energy that went into racing back then.

I have one of those trucks in my world too so I am all good with it. My dad bought a 55 in 1965 along with a 58 Buick and had a mechanic from the Buick dealership he worked at come and put motor out of the 58 in the truck! I drove it to high school SMOKING the tires in the school parking lot often. LOL

Yep, I put my arm around a girl for the first time while in a drive-inn movie in that truck.

The first photo is of my brother in the drivers seat and me out back was on a camping trip with dad around 1968. The second photo is of it in the "Rodders Journal" magazine around 12 years ago after he restored it. It breaks my heart to know that my dad missed seeing it all done and on the road again by only a few months.

I like that one.

Here are a few more for interest. Look carefully in the background of the blue #213 and you'll see a Cameo being used as a work truck. It even looks like stacks and a toolbox installed in the bed.

MARTINSR · 03-01-2019, 02:04 AM

You're welcome, it made my day too, what a great photo! I was glad I could find exactly where it was taken. Looks like it's changed a LOT, the hotel is gone from what I can figure out.

The hotel may be gone, but where is the truck? It's very possible that someone on this forum owns that very truck today!

Isn't that a cool idea! I wish I could find a photo of my truck out on the farm. I was talking to the guy I bought it from in 1973 about a year ago and he surprised me with where he got it, I didn't know being he lived across town from me. He got it out of a field right near my house! His dad knew this farmer and the farmer gave him the truck. It was just a few thousand feet or so from my house I grew up in. That ENTIRE area is now covered with housing tracks.
