Hot Rods The official thread of photos of classic vehicles seen in the wild or being used?

Saw this one yesterday!

 

Now we been at it again.
This time I took my dads truck to the quarry, for 10tons of gravel for a driveway.
That the first time I drove it fully load, and it felt good. That's a nice truck, and it performs well.

But what makes me especially happy is that this time I took 4yr daughter! And we had a blast, Me, Alma and Holger did good.

And look at her smile! Priceless

 

I love it!!

 

Taking the '59 Apache on a float trip and exploring the wilds along the gravel bar.

 

Used and abused.

 

Wow!

 

My '39 being used and abused. Daily commuter, drag racer, , road tripper, around town beater...

 

And my Tub running around city streets on rainy winter days...



And then serving wedding chariot duty around the wilds west of Portland...

 

It feels like swap meet season.

 

Love that license plate

 

Barn Find..... That's awesome!

 

Driven Daily.

 

Not only do you own a bitching 33 coupe, you own an early jimmy too.

You rock.
What are you building?

 

thanks. put over 100k miles on that truck. hauled all kinds of stuff.
i don't know what i will build with this frame but it was in great condition and was priced right.

 

At 65 it is good to know I can still lift half of that frame. Bob

 

thanks for helping me.
notice the scrap is gone?
now i just have to find a place to put it.

 

Hello again,

I just too the old truck out again, this time my brother-in-law is doing tiles (is the the correct name for them) for a patio on his new house.

I took the truck to work this morning, and I listens to local classic radio all the way to work to, and oddly the weather feels so much nicer sitting behind the wheel of a nice truck. And I was humming with on the songs too, wonderful day!! The odometer tick over too 70.000 km today, 112.000 wonderful and original miles. Runs like a top.

Doing nicely around 50mph.

Then I took it to the quarry after work and got 5 metric tons of gravel/sand/dirt, around 11.000 pounds, for putting the tiles in.


All in all a nice day, and if all goes well we go get two slightly small loads tomorrow.

Life is good, and so is Holger (name of the truck, or we named the truck after the first owner and driver)
