I'm beginning to get a little worried about JB.  It's been 19 days since his last Route Van picture posting  

 

Did you forget your FB password? ?

And a what looks like a one ton pickup and a Suburban. Not sure what that other step van is? I see an International pickup too.

It was in the process of being driven en-route to the event.

Found this laminated ad at a thrift shop.

Great find. Of course I might be a little biased

Maybe it was supposed to be brown originally?

not the way I see it....they are hooking the binder to the Dodge as the binder needed help as it could not even make it over the small snow berm along the edge of the road in order to go off-roading....

I guess that would depend on the shade of sunglasses you're wearing

I once had a 1949 chebby truck that color. I loved that truck .... I never did drive it.

 

What I thought was cool, I bought it from a Boy Scout troop leader. It was a official Boy scout project where they had painted it and used it to go camping with or other projects. ..... When the old tired 216 engine spun a bearing.

The troop with guidance of the leader .... pulled the head and removed that piston & rod. They continued to drive the truck on 5 cylinders until the valves needed attention.

 

Then I bought it for $50 .... Back then you drop a head off at Napa for a valve job was maybe $75 .... + gaskets.

I sold it to a mechanic as a running 5 cylinder engine .... it ran smooth.

I think as a 18 year old kid I made $100 off the deal.

 

That sumbbeach was pumpkin orange with black fenders .... just like @Young Ed truck.

Red paint fades faster than most. could be the sun is working it's magic or you have some oxidation going on, but I wouldn't call it orange just yet. If it does go orange just provide pictures in black and white and tell everyone it's red

 

Folks sometime think my truck is painted with primer when actually the paint shines nice if I buff it out but a few days later it is chalky again. Oh well.
