    AK Miller's '39 Ford pickup remains my all time favorite. No need to limit to the '50's. Anybody got a picture of it?

    Let us not forget the honest ol' girls that were used to push race cars at local tracks, farm equipment, possibly water buffalo based on the numerous dents in the front of my truck.

    57 ford f-100's make great push trucks! That is what I call my 57, PUSH TRUCK. Some time in the future I will put a 2x12 for a bumper with an old tire hanging from it. That makes a great push truck!

    I love trucks! I only own three trucks. Push trucks are the coolest, and lately I love me a spare tire on the side!

    Wish I had a picture of Gene McKinney's rig. He pulled a chopped '34 B'ville coupe from Georgia to the salt with a '34 Ford truck. THAT is traditional!

    I love purpose built vehicles.There was a mid 50s Ford ambulance that was owned by Phelps Dodge(Copper Mining) that used to show up at the Pavillions in Scottsdale that was just perfect,a mild custom.
