Fifty years ago I used to ride in this truck when I was a summer camper. The truck took us to canoe trips, field trips, and every Saturday we got our allowance and went into the drugstore to load up on 10 minutes worth of candy! Five years ago we bought the camp that we run today as a resort rental. I knew where the truck was, but couldn't get the owner to part with it. He kept saying he was going to restore it. Ha-Ha. When his wife finally convinced him to give it to me in October of 2008, it had been sitting in a field for over 25 years, up to the frame in mud. The wrecker got it to roll out and by the beginning of June 2009 I was able to re-create the box on the back and drive it into a reunion of former campers. Still have a speedometer and gas gauge to fix, but it's a real nostalgic piece up here and special for me.
