    a '29 pickup. basically in good shape. needs a few things here and there. I have to replace the main leaf in front, reattach rear fenders and running boards, replace a couple hoses and the gas line.

    I should have it running by this afternoon.

    it's got a little rust here and there, could use a new rear window panel. I might take some better rear fenders from my stash. but it's otherwise in pretty good shape. it's been converted to 12 volt with an alternator.

    not real sure what I'll do with it, but it just looked at me with those eyes, and I couldn't say no...

    6'3" and about 265,

    but without the seat back, there is plenty of room...

    Becky says it's her truck.
