Trucks at 2018 Bickelton Wa car show 9-8-18

I jumped in the black beast yesterday morning and made it up the hill to Bicklelton Wa for their car show.

Bickleton is one of the oldest towns in the area and sits in the Horse Heaven hills of Central Wa surrounded by wheat fields and cattle ranches.

The car show is combined with a flea market but there didn't seem to be a lot of flea market booths this year. Ine of the draws is a local ladies group sells pie and coffee in one of the old buildings during the event

The town sits on a road between Goldendale Wa and Mabton Wa that is a favorite of motorcycle folks from around the whole Pacific Northwest and is a fun drive in a car that handles great.

There weren't many Chevy or GMC trucks there.

The black 56 was a bit of a surprise to me as I had heard it was being built but had never seen the truck before. At First I thought I might be looking at Hogfarm's new truck because this truck is jet black and the body and paint are as close to perfect as you can get. Come to find out the owner and I used to be Step brothers back in the late 50's and early 60's but we never knew each other until years after our parents were divorced.

The Green one is as nice an AD as you will find and gets driven all over the PNW I have shown photos of it several times the TF 3200 is a new one to me and is a pretty nice restoration The white 71/72 was just a real nice truck. The AD fuel truck has sat in that same spot for years along with the Studebaker behind it. They belong to the old fuel distributor that was there.
