Gotta Use 'Em Right Boys? Let's See Some Work Trucks

Here is my daily. Unexpected bathroom renovation at home taking me away from shop for a few days. Let's see some work trucks

 

I have a 1930 Ford pickup as a daily driver since I retired last year, use as a parts chaser, trash hauler whatever I need. I installed the floor from a late model Chevy pickup when I built the truck, I have attached a picture of the truck in the woods after dumping tree limbs at a friends burn pile .

My daily driver (when ever I have to go someplace) has been used to haul furniture, scrap to the salvage yard, yard mulch, and a host of other stuff. In its past it pulled a car trailer around. It also is used to plow the snow from my driveway in the winter. Its been on the road for over 11 years now, built to work, does the job. For the past 3 years, its been my "show truck" (I use that phrase loosely )

Now this is a truck!

 

^^^^^ Agreed!

 

Here's my friend Boobie's International scooping up his new score which is a 1952 Dodge pickup. His international has a six in it now but soon will have a 500 Caddy engine in there.

 

I'm pretty sure I NEED one of these now. That is AWESOME

Here is my old one on its day off.



I don't have any recent ones of my new one. Maybe tomorrow.

 

This is awesome!!!!!

 

When its not hauling parts, its hauling ass, hahaha!

 

What are you pushing with the boards on the front??

 

Wanted the truck to look like an old dragster push truck, but I have no dragster. Next project maybe....

 

Doing what it was meant to do....
Hauling the 53 bed remnants...


600 sq feet of flooring....$2500 in there...more than I paid for the truck.

Hauling wood and trim for my home addition.

What i hear
why do you do haul stuff in your truck

my answer
Because it is a truck

 

Puts a grin on my face to see all the work trucks! Drove my beater back with my uncle from CA as eBay purchase. Drove as much as Rt 66 as we could and arrived back at Indy in time to take it on the track for community day. Quite a 3 day adventure. Then went through it mechanically. Well, first I had to paint the logos. Decided anything I fix will get painted so you can track progress as I go. Have to credit my uncle here for supporting my old car "problem". Not only did he purchase the truck to help start my business but has had his hand in getting it roadworthy and safe - along with my business partner. Here are a couple photos.
