The Farmer used to irrigate with it. He said he took the door off to make it easier to get in and out of the truck faster but cant remember where he put it. May be looking for a door if he can't find it

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR

blake harvesting some parts the pieces that he is cutting from this bed will be used to make new wheel houses. to get the tire out close to the fender looks like a gain of about 2 inches

Re: My Name is Rusty and I'm Addicted to POR

No photos of the truck this week, didn't get much work in, my uncle and i went to lunch at Al The Wops and ran into my other uncle and his little model T. he took me for a ride and poked a hole in the oil pan so we helped him fix it so he could get home so that kept us from the truck!
