Old Cars

Here are a couple pics of my ol' '50 Ford 1/2 ton. I've had it since 1971 ($150) and I've driven the heck out of it. Either traveling around the West with my camper, hauling firewood, going to bluegrass festivals or just commuting to work from Crestline to San Bernardino. In 1989, I finally retired my old friend and started a long process of transformation into a street rod. I had no intention of ever doing this much in the first place. I bought a copy of Classic Truck magazine and I got the bug. I went to metal everywhere. I went to swap meets. I went to shows. I went to paint shops. I went to parts houses. And lets not forget wrecking yards. I finally got done this summer and now I can actually drive it. Oh ya!
