Saw some cool old trucks yesterday as I drove to look at a car for a European member of FCBO. I was able to stop and grab a couple pics if the ones that stood still, and got a decent shot of one pulling away from the curb.
And the reason I stopped:

The high school homecoming parade goes past our house and this was leading the way, I don't know if that's the principal and staff, but they look happy!

I really like the stance of this Jeep, the lowest ride height I'd want if I got one. I'd have taken a better picture if I could have gotten one.
And a truck that can go anywhere, the old reliable Yot. 330,000 on the body, replacement engine, looking for another 330,000 miles.
In northern Minnesota, in memory of sheriff Howdy.

Yet another truck I've seen at Walmart. I'd like this setup if I got another rig, use the 98 for whatever needs an 8 foot box and use this for hauling. If I was going to haul for a living or something, cause I don't haul squat! But I have my trailer!

Been a while! Saw this today as I was getting some tools for home improvement. Any reason to get tools!

Gas station goodies. Saw this '83 Jeep J20 the other day. Guy picked it up at a nearby auction for $2300, looked pretty clean.
Then just before work, the owner of this truck was asking me about my '66 Polara, he had. '66 Monaco 500 back in the 70's or something like that.
