I have been searching for an old pickup truck for quite sometime and I wanted one that was running and driving and not a long term restoration project. Pre-war would be nice but I was looking up to 1965 and whether it was a Chevy, Ford, International etc did not matter as long as it was the "right" truck. I looked at 2 trucks this weekend and ended up buying this 1929 Model AA. It was purchased by the gentleman I bought it from in boxes and bags painstakingly inventoried by the previous owner. The seller and his father set about restoring the truck for the last 5 years and completed about 90% of the restoration. The truck is running and driving and only needed some interior work to finish which I will complete. Incredibly it came with some original documentation and only has 11,500 original miles. It was a coal delivery truck back in the day and has stayed local all its life. The bed on the truck is a Anthony dump body but it came with its original coal bed as well.



My other finds this month:

Sweet Ford! and awesome history behind it
Here is my find for the week it came off of the same feed mill that I found the Friskies sign at sadly it will be torn down next month,
it'll be a loss to see it go, another piece of history gone I'm only hoping to save more of it before it's gone.

Picked this up tonight, very nice gloss on it.

I sure like that truck!

love that truck!!!! very cool piece of history..
