Reminds me of my grandfather's farm truck which was a little older and less colourful - 1948 dark blue 1 ton - but it had the same style cab, even the corner windows. They were tough trucks in their day. Thanks for posting.
Yeah...reminds me of my great uncle's '54 3/4 or 1 ton he used to deliver ice. Like most of the men in my family (father's side), he was a serious drunk.
His truck was dark green...similar to what is called "Forest Green" now.
BTW, the starter button was on the floorboard next to the gas pedal.I had one like that in 1973. It was called a 1953 1/2. If memory serves me correctly, it was called this because of the rear window configuration. Mine was a half ton with a three speed on the column. It had a habit of sticking in gear between second and third gear. I always carried a brass hammer with me and I would crawl underneath from the driver's side and tap the linkage to correct the problem. It was a 1/2 ton. I bought it for $300.00 and sold it two years later for $1200.00
