Hello,

When a 1946 Ford Sedan Delivery gets the custom treatment, there is room for all of the fixings for a great gathering. The modification of the view blocking, rear side panels gets converted to full windows. Now, there are open views when driving down the street. even the rear door gets the treatment for a better view to the back, with a larger window.

The back cave has enough room for seats and windows that passengers can see in or out all around the vehicle. The room behind the seats has space for the ingredients to and from a great family tradition. (Including our custom made smoker made from a surplus steel milk can with a removable lid.) The roof line is large enough to handle a couple of 50+ pounds of old longboards, too. This concept was done over and over in our minds.

One year, my brother and I had made plans to be in Baja Mexico with some friends over the 5 day school vacation, starting on Wednesday morning. The incoming surf swell was too good to sit around for the whole long weekend in So Cal. The long haul home on Sunday night would be a struggle, but it was planned out for months. Tuesday night of Thanksgiving week, our family had its traditional Thanksgiving Dinner with all of the fixings. So, family tradition was not broken by a couple of rambling teenagers.

But, the surprise was that my brother and I decided that a smoked turkey would make a wonderful breakfast, lunch and dinner meal for the two of us for 5 days. So, we had purchased a metal surplus milk container and modified it to allow a medium size turkey to roast/smoke inside for a whole day. We had a “smoking good time” on Monday night with a smoked chicken for a practice run. The turkey cooked on Tuesday for our trip.

Jnaki

The container had a removable lid, a hole cut out on the inside of the bottom to rest on a small “Hibachi” grill. Those small “Hibachi” grills were very popular with the surf crowd. The chicken or turkey was hung on a wire down into the chamber and the smoke from the “Hibachi coals/smoked wood did the job.

So, this milk can could be loaned out to our friends for their smoked chicken, steaks and turkey lunches or dinners. Any size of Hibachi grill units were ok, the small ones fit inside of the large, modified, steel container. But, other sizes could sit underneath would do a similar job.

So, how did the smoked turkey go over for Thanksgiving? Our mom said she would not touch that smoked turkey with a ten foot pole. So, she had our dad bring home a "real" commercially cooked smoked turkey, including the stuffing. She was weird about cooking and that ratty looking milk can smoker.

Now, in Baja, we ate smoked turkey and shared the rest of the gobs of turkey with everyone. Eating a large, smoked turkey drumstick while sitting on a cliff overlooking a cool Baja Mexico sunset, as the overhead waves kept rolling into the reef, was just something no one can forget...ever. Good times for all!

 

Man, I like that orange Merc. So bad, it's good..

 

What a great set of pictures. I'm sure we have all been there either as kids or as parents. It is such a real portrait of life.
