New Old Truck work started

[Gardening with Rabbits]

I used to own a 1950 Dodge pickup and was it ever fun to drive. Only, I was driving it in the 1970s, so not as cool as it would be now. I just looked poor then.

I didn't start out looking for a classic, was looking for something in 90s. Here with all road salt in winter, the under carriages looked like swiss cheese from rust. They really did build then better back in the day.

@dickiebird that is a great truck, love the bubble fenders. Restored your truck is worth a small fortune.

I was a year old when that truck was made, and I'm looking forward to pics too.

Here's a pic of my everyday driver pickup, my pop bought it from his neighbor that used it on his farm in Patterson, MO, around 1961.
Needless to say but I'm not afraid to haul manure in this baby!!!

I love it, it even looks great in all the shades of age!

Dickiebird, I love that truck just the way it is. Around the corner from me is an old yellow truck that has just been sitting there for years. I love that one too.

*sigh* either of those trucks would look fabulous pulling our vintage campers - 1956 Aloha or 1955 Aljoa. Gotta get a few other projects done first...! Love them both!

I started driving mine, everyday about 4 years ago.
Within a few days of me being seen around the area I heard a kids mom telling him "it's just like 'mater", I had no idea what the meaning of 'mater was.
Now I know and almost ever week some kid, or actually their mom, wants their pic taken with 'mater.
