Ray,
I'm on the way, just left Northern California!!!
Don't sell it I have the cash and I think your price is fair. Does the plywood come with it? Will the wood cost extra? Can I keep the safety flag for long loads?

Hoo boy! There's a relic! You're about 45 years too late, Tiny. But if you get to Portland, give me a call. We'll talk Model A's over a cold drink. 50three333five766
 
I've been going through old Restorers lately. My dad brought his secondary collection for me to read, the mid 60's through the early 90's. Man that was a nice truck you had. I'm guessing your not to tall if you drove it from Portland to San Francisco and back? That makes my knees hurt just thinking about it!! :D Just wait till I post pictures of Doug Vieyra from the 60's!!
 
Actually I drove it from Portland to San Luis Obispo and back with three adults in the front seat and my 2-yr-old daughter in the bed (with home made camper to keep her from bouncing out.) it was different times, fer shure. I'm 6'3", and yes it was a little tight. But what a great trip!

What year was that Ray? San Luis Obispo, CA...I should of never left that town! I was there from 68-73. "Go Mustangs"!
Pluck
 
Pluck, that was 1972. I bought the truck for a college buddy who was being discharged from the Navy in San Diego. He sent me $700 and said, "Buy me a car and come get me." That's what I bought. I reassembled it, rebuilt the brakes, made a camper for it, and away my wife, 2-yr-old daughter, and I went to pick him up. The feeways south of SLO were too intimidating, so we met him there.

I ended up buying the truck from him and refurbishing it and driving all around Oregon for several years, till I got in a tax bind and had to sell it in 1986.

That just makes my back and knees hurt thinking about it.:D
 
In the late 50's we use to pack 3 & sometimes 4 in the front seat of my AA 280A. Of course we were all skinny little teen-agers, and it helped if some of the occupants were girls.

No way you could get a 3rd in the front seat of my PU today. Everything seems to have shrunk.
 
Having been there done that in those days, I just wish I had the $$$ to buy 'bout 200 "As" of every description. Oh Well, I am just happy to have made it this far in life. I turn 79 next march. Yes, that was an interesting post. Jim Langley...
