Plymouthy Adams Posted May 17, 2017 Report Posted May 17, 2017 Is it just me or does not that steering column look a bit far aft than normal? The angle of the picture should not show exposed wheel (compared to other trucks) I think it is supposed to be just flush inside at the bottom of the wheel with the door jamb. These things do not show up everyday, maybe it will get save..at present, it suffers a numerous ills. 1 Quote
Merle Coggins Posted May 17, 2017 Report Posted May 17, 2017 Since it was likely a Postal truck initially wouldn't it have been right hand drive? Something tells me it has a later model chassis underneath. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted May 17, 2017 Report Posted May 17, 2017 you are probably 100% dead on with that guess....was not even thinking postal right hand drive....just thinking odd positioning Quote

bambamshere Posted May 23, 2017 Report Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) This is my work in progress. 1956 Fargo 1 Ton. it has been in the family since its been new. That garage behind it is where it sat for 30 years. They started it up once or twice a year. It was a grain truck for 30 years till they stopped using it and parked it in the garage. The motor is a 251 out of a combine. Edited May 23, 2017 by bambamshere Putting engine size in the details 3 Quote
JaysonK Posted May 23, 2017 Report Posted May 23, 2017 I read something that a lot of states required door signs on trucks have not been able to get the whole story....anyone know? Quote
59bisquik Posted May 23, 2017 Report Posted May 23, 2017 Here are two recent ones of mine from Viva Las Vegas 2017. One solo and one with Audrey Hatchet from Germany. The photographers did take a little liberty with the filters to change the shade of the paint job. 2 Quote
