well it's about time! I've been drivin' old bolts daily since forever ... well since the 55 International died ... er, since I scrapped the 56 Fargo that followed the International .... no reason to spend 20,000 on a new truck just to work it to death
46 to
67 is the range, with the
red 58 being the current work horse, and more to come
when I first got the 58 on the road it was part of a
fleet for my business, and when the panel frame got too rotten, the best parts of it resurrected a pickup for the
babtrkr to drive .... cut back to one for now, with another 57 panel in progress to replace the 58 someday
none have been garage queens, and none have been 100% original - most of these ol trucks lost originality within a couple years, being machines meant to do a job for workin folk who all had individual needs and preferences, and usually not much money to waste on maintaining them to factory specs .... about like me!
the best advertising possible for a self employed person, nobody will remember what it said on the side of that 80 something van or pickup, but everybody remembers the 57 panel truck, years after it's gone
