A change that’s happened to me in 2018 is that I became a truck owner. When the truck gone through all the changes I’m making to it, I’ll post about it. That’ll be this mid spring, if all goes well. For now, let me truckster you with vehicles that’ve caught my attention along the highways and byways.
This 1945 Chevy wrecker could become a looker with some love.
This 1945 Studebaker truck, however, seems destined to become a mineral deposit in this woodsy place.

I’ve recently become a fan of Jay Leno’s Garage. See his show on a WW2 1943 or 4 Dodge Carryall resto-mod. It’s of the same era.

We are the owners of a 1985 Short Bed, step side Chevy pickup whose name is Grumpy. Nice wrecker too.

Did you ever get to walk around the land side of Witte Marine? He had quite a collection and selection of trucks there, going from Divco milk trucks to Federal trucks to a WWII mobile laundry, Bulldog Mack derrick, a DUKW? (Military “Duck”} Fire engines, aerial ladder trucks, bulldozers, street sweepers, a cannon, tracked personnel carriers, trucks with wood cabs, on and on. And the crane that was featured in “Gorky Park” even the land end was a sort of museum. Happy New Year and Be Safe. Jim Murray ________________________________
