I had to look it up.

Arnold Ziffel is a fictional pig featured in Green Acres, an American situation comedy that aired on CBS from 1965 to 1971. The show is about a fictional lawyer, Oliver Wendell Douglas, and his wife, Lisa
 
That show is on here 5 nights a week.But,I have antenna TV,no cable or streaming.I wonder what that truck started life as with that right side spare tire mount.I have worked on a couple of those trucks with a right side factory,(riveted on) sidemount bracket.
 
Appears to be during WWII or shortly thereafter because of the gas ration stickers on the windshield. What was the T for? I have an A sticker on my Fordor.
 
That looks like the one I bought (circa 1963) for $15 and sold for $150. We were towing it w/a tow bar and the LR wheel came off, we suspected that somebody had "borrowed" the axle nut while it was sitting for years.

We were at a resort in the Adirondacks several weeks ago. The resort brought in a singer/player for an evenings entertainment. He played a medley of TV show themes and challenged the audience to name the shows. Sadly, I was one of only a few that recognized all three - Pettycoat Junction, Beverly Hillbillies and Green Acres. Maybe a misspent youth but I can vividly remember Eddie Albert and Eva Gabor on the farm…

I also have an A sticker. Those don’t look like USA gas ration stickers to me, your windshield only had one letter and the stamps tore out of a book. I believe that Canada had windshield stickers that were replaced each year, could these be some of those?

There was a USA “T” sticker issued to truck drivers but it was white on blue.
