My Ol' '57:


Here we see  the  '57 4WD pickup truck that I bought for $1200.00   in 1979 in Leavenworth, WA.  At the time it did not look like this; it was the bitchinest truck in the valley. I drove it to Yosemite once. I once GAVE it to Ken Page for work he did at my house, but he could not take it back with him to the east coast. My kids called it the Bumpy Truck...we did a lot of four-wheeling. I managed to ruin not one but two rear ends.

This pic shows the truck en route to Stanwood, Wa, now the propertyyy of one John Halley, who purchased it from me for the price I paid for it. He will give it The Love and restore it to its original glory.

This is a very good thing.
