    Thanks Chris, I got it from an 80 year old friend who used it as a young boy here in my little town to deliver ice to homes in the 40's. I am thinking a bolt on side car would be cool. Will be painting it all red too and adding balloon tires.

    Looks like possibly a 32 Ford pickup cab and also a 32 Ford 4 door sedan shell. Yes, lots of snakes this year. I see them almost everyday.

    And then yesterday, I took a few minutes from my full plate to buy this former firetruck. Non rusty, low miles, V8, 4 speed, four wheel drive. It's going to Wisconsin......

    Hey Paul, by no means do I want to hi-jack your thread, but can you help me ID this trike? Found it last weekend, it looks early 60's. Looks to be either a Police or Ice Cream emulating a Harley 3 wheeler.

    What an awesome piece of Americana. Ghost towns are fascinating.
    A guy could buy the whole town, clean/restore it up and retire there!
    Looks to have been quite some time since the town was occupied.

  15. Thanks for making me smile Paul and Bob. The Abbot and Costello of the HAMB.
    Look forward to seeing you guys at BTT50s and Maybe Iola.
    The Ghost town thing is pretty cool. Ghost towns and vintage tin.

    I got rid of it the first time after the Sherriff came knocking on my door with a complaint about my "reckless" driving. True story. Now I don't care.....take me away officer! :D

  29. Living the life in the flats!!!! I dig that pickup, I want it! Now find a "restorer" who wants my good-running 36 flathead and 3 spd to trade me a 48 or 49-53 for it!

    Poverty Flats looks like a lot more fun than Lake Wobegon. It's getting so the seasons don't change for me until there's a PF post about it ;) :)
