My grandfather bought this truck new in 1950. My dad drove it off the lot and used it all through High School. It was a farm truck for years. I started driving it in High School as my primary vehicle. After I left home, it sat in the garage for years. Finally, I had it worked on a few years ago, now it sits in my garage and I take it out a few times a year to drive around town. My boys will eventually get it. They need to learn how to drive a Three On The Tree first!
