And drive down to Wrenchfest in May. Maybe the others coming down from PA can organize a convoy to include. (Wonder if Hambone coming from NH would be part of that one??) The Southern MD group will probably convey to VA. A little "security" there for un-expected *stuff* .... headscratch Convoys are always fun.

And extra folks to help with .... P I C T U R E S ..... pix

First off, this is , as agreed by everyone, a very special truck.
I am jealous too!
And not to detract from that joy, I was wondering
about the odometer. I remembered someone commenting that the last digit being
out of line, shows it has turned over. I’m not putting undue scrutiny to the
truck, but it just reminded me of that statement and I wonder if that is a true fact.
And did I say? What a truck. Those original pine bed boards tell the story!

I feel confident enough to say: that truck has not turned over.

From what I am told, the mileage is correct since it was stored so long.

As far as the bed, I am sure it is the original. I sent a few more pics the only this I believe is not original is the rear bumper see pic

That's an *interesting* bumper. Is that something related to farm-work -- do you think?

My 1952 truck, a Korean War era truck was delivered to a Alabama dealer with no rear bumper, only a 2x4 attached to the truck. This was verified by a man who picked his new truck up from the same dealership on the same day. The rear bumper was then dealer installed from aftermarket. Perhaps yours is aftermarket install for your area at that time.

Convoy convoy. I couldn't *find* that convoy picture. Just now, moving on to other work in the pile, I found it.

This is only one example ... convoy coming to Homecoming 2010.

Convoy coming in to Homecoming from years ago. Always fun to see.

since a farmer had owned it from new i was told the bumper was most likely on to tow farm wagons back in the day

You're probably correct. Those trucks were bought to work. I'd probably leave that on there also, since it's part of the truck's "character". But again, that's up to you.
