We use to own this vehicle. My husband is the one who did all the work restoring this truck. The wood on the box is saguaro cactus from Arizona. It had been sitting for years in the rafters of our pole building. Glad you are enjoying it.
my dad rolled his 1940 dodge pick up barely a dent in it....it was rolled back out of the ditch in the early 60s....and he drove it away like nothing ever happened
@@TwoGuysandaRide I paid $100 for my '48 in '65 and proceeded to build my house, using it to haul all of the lumber up the mountain. The top of the cab is bashed in from the weight of all that timber, but the truck ran and ran and ran.
@@TwoGuysandaRide I had to let the truck go in 1975. This was to be my retirement home, and it was pretty much all woods at the time and a few vacation cottages. However, the make up of the area changed drastically in the 1980s, which brought urban sprawl to this formerly rural area.

That was thicker and tougher steel back then. They don't make 'em like they used to. Thanks for watching!

I had a '48 just like this one. Moved all the lumber up the mountain to build my house.
Those old trucks weren't fancy...they were rugged work horses. Thanks for watching!

Did you sell it or retire it out in the woods?
