Lol, heck yeah. They were two cute miniature ponies. One a blonde the other black. He is a neighbor and my daughter used to go over every day and play with those ponies. His wife always joked they were just lawn ornaments so when the engine in the truck went out he traded the two ponies for this new engine.
He wasn't a mechanic and was the 3rd owner of this truck. The second owner of this truck lives about a half mile away from us and is his mechanic. He also mentioned the original owner is a local as well. This truck has lived it's entire life within the same 5 miles since it was purchased nearly 49 years ago.
I was just stoked when he decided to finally sell it. Then he offered me a heck of a deal on it. Imagine I paid him about what those 2 miniature ponies went for
