The '52 F-1 is mine . The '34 Ford and the '31 Chevy belong to a farmer/fellow truck enthusiast that lives near me . Glad you liked them !
 
Kool! your F1 brings back a lot of memories its all most like the one my Dad had, I drove it in high school!
 
They were the workhorses of their era. Just think of all the men and women who drove them, and the jobs they did. They are now mostly gone, but the work they accomplished, especially the CCC, PWA, WPA, TVA, and REA projects, are still paying a benefit now, so many years later. My dad, who grew up in rural West Virginia, always talked about how the REA brought electricity to the Capon Valley; work done by Ford trucks and the men who drove them.
 
Great pics, Ford Freak !! Your '52 is looking nice, too. We gotta get together for lunch one of these days, so I can get a ride in it.
 
Nice pics, FF.

A local garden centre has a model A pickup that they sometimes park out the front. It was loaded with Pumpkins the other day, I wish I'd stopped and taken a snap. It's too dark when I drive past now.

Mart.
 
Thanks for the kind words guys !
If anyone else has any similar pics , please post them on this thread . I (among others I'm sure ) would love to see them !
 
This old truck was way out in the sticks on our recent trip around Australia,it was a 4 cal powered and looked fairly complete.
the T model stuff was laying every where
I was over where it was 10 yrs ago in my 28 ccpu and the truck has not moved since then.
