"The old Dodge truck is out on the Hwy just outside Ponteix. That guy has a garage there and does work for locals ...cars trucks tractors ...you name it."
Looks like a c. 1940 Dodge truck. Saskatchewan is high and dry, like West Texas, so the metal lasts.
Oh I would like to buy this machine and get it on the road again. Looks like (almost) current Saskatchewan plates, so it can't have sitting all that long. If you buy a truck and plan to have it shipped, Autoliterate strongly, passionately, recommends Safe-Way Auto Transport out of Kentucky. They use their own trucks, which means your machine won't get shopped around from freight terminal to terminal; their drivers are extremely responsible and do exactly what they promise; and their prices are reasonable. They moved my truck from deep in West Texas to Bangor, Maine, and they have just delivered a friend's truck from Greensboro, NC to Marfa, Texas.
I'd send you some pics from a junkyard out here in American Canyon I discovered [looking for parts for my '45 Chevy] which has a dozen or so of these and uses a '40 Dodge as a tow truck if you'll enlighten me; I know how to do that with email but not here...
ReplyDeleteNice blog; nice to see that Marfa light in some of the photos. I traded some paintings for an '82 Seville some years back and, at a loss for what to do with it, drove to West Texas from Reno to see What Don had Wrought...very great trip.
All the best
