This (below) is the truck I posted last week, still for sale at Ed's Automotive here in Colorado Springs. I took a couple of shots outside to give you a better sense of the truck's gestalt. Those wheels are certainly ugly, and the tires too small, but this truck might clean up well. Check the earlier post for more info. I just met another old truck guy in the Downtown Barbershop here in COS. We agreed that it was just much more fun to buy basically solid, undistinguished old western trucks for a couple grand, clean them up, tune them up, learn about carburetors and such, and just plain drive 'em--than it was to buy/drive anything newer. Driving them is the key: $50,000 trailer queens don't interest me much, even if I could afford them, which I can't. Hell, you can own a fleet of the sort of old trucks I like for the price of one Kia.
