Trucks From A Show
Last weekend I went to the 16th ATHS Tri-State Antique Truck Show in Clearbrook, VA. There was one truck that was my favorite. I spent a long time hanging with the owner, a retired pipeline welder. I have always loved the pipeline welder rigs. Traditionally they had been works of pride and joy, everything I love about trucks, a balance of form and function. Take pride in what you work out of. This one will never see work. A former Oregon fire truck, was bought and had a dump body installed, then this feller got it and built the welder body. 327 powered NAPCO. And that's a '56 Lincoln welder on it! It doesn't get any better than this! (for me)
