A few pics of my truck from 'Back in the day'

I was searching for a few pics for Dat Dirty Rat on my discs, and came across these.
I forgot i saved them.

These are from the early 60's right after the two original builders finished it.
I have become friends with both of them, and have talked and hung out a few times.
Both are TRUE hot rodders in every sence.
One of them sent me every photo they ever took of it so i could copy them to disc.
He wanted them back, and that was just fine by me..it was great just seeing them in the first place!



Anyway, I just thought some of you might enjoy them.

nice pix... thanks bro!

 

Those are cool. I love historical pics like that.

Thanks for sharing.

These are the two original builders..in high school when this was taken.

 

I'll look at as many as you want to post, or send me a CD full of them

 

I'm the same way.I spent HOURS looking at the real photo's when i got em.
It was unreal to me to see the pics, and look in front of me at the truck itself!

I have a lot more, but there not sized..
These were the only ones i had done already.
At some point i'll do the rest of them and post more at a later date.

Tony, those pics are a treasure for damn sure. I would certainly like to have pics of my '40 from back in the day. What am I talking about, I do have those pics as I have had it since '61! Jaysus, that's a long time. Anyway, thanks for sharing. Incidentally, where did your truck come from?

 

Bitchin shots PakRat32!!!.....Great to see what was kool then.....would be kool today!! ......thanks!

 

John, the truck is from Olean NY.

I honestly thought about tearing it apart and putting it back the way it looks in those pics.
But i really dig it now, so it'll stay the way it is..at least for a while anyway.

 

Sweet,post up some more when you get em ready!!!

 

Cool pics! You are lucky to have them
Clark

I've thought about it to myself, but never said anything about it or posted it.
Right now i have way to much fun with it, so it'll probably be around for quite some time..
I have a lot of plans for it once i finish the junk i already have layin around..

Rob, thanks for lightening the pics!! they came out great. I'm gonna save em too.

Tony..
