Sweeeet.

 

sweet! nice find

 

Beautiful.

 

it's normal to have these feelings. normal.

 

Great find and enjoy the ride.

 

Couple more shots out seeing a friend...





Plus, I took the cardboard boxes of parts out of the back and replaced them with more age appropriate junk. Looks much better! lol....

 

Outstanding find!! It's amazing how much of this old stuff is still around somewhere, hidden away.

 

WOW!! what a find.....

 

I wish I were you!! Great find

 

Mac,Great save, I can recall seeing that truck sitting out front of Frenchs store way back
in the early 50's. As a kid , I was in the train shop a few times,this brings beck some good memories. Thanks for the moment.

Nice! Great find - that baby looks to be in incredible shape, and love the graphics.

 

first thing I'd do is paint it......NOT!!!!!!

that's very cool! great score.

 

She's a beaut !!! I wouldn't change a thing. I really dig the vintage roof rack.

 

love your plan!!! Drive it

Way to Cool !!

 

Man, that is a piece of history there. Please don't change a thing!

I was hoping that you would look in the back and find an NOS UP M10000 trainset though...

 

WOW, talk about a one in a million, it just don't get no better than that !!!!!
And I totally agree with you............change those tires & oil & drive the heck out of it. I wouldn't change nothing.
All the best to ya.

 

That is outstanding.....I wouldn't change a thing.......except the name on the title to mine. A great find

 

you should strip all that old sign writing off of there and paint it flat black

 

I think a 1:43 scale version painted to look like your panel truck would look pretty sweet on my train layout. Maybe you could commission these guys to do a limited run:

Holy crap that's cool!

 

I can't add anything that already hasn't been said,,,Beautiful truck,leave it alone and drive it,have fun! HRP

 

How small? How evil?? I mean.... a guy could probably get some reversed eye springs. Something easily changed back to stock.

 

My buddy is better at taking pictures than I am.

 

Words fail me. What a treasure!

 

Wow, that is cool...

 

One word, Americana

 

Nice, I love it.
