Nostalgia photo
« on: February 24, 2013, 11:51:25 AM »
Thought I would post this for reference.  Is it true 1/4 ton trucks had gas cap on the left and 1/5 ton trucks had the gas cap on the right?

Gary said in his book that at one time he thought that was true, but then he had seen contradictory evidence.

Tom, that looks like a long box on that truck.  The only one I have seen is the one that Jim L bought from Gary and brought to Portland this past summer.

You can tell that it has seen some heavy service in its day. Warn decal, bent floorboard, dent in the fender and oil around the cover. Wonder what it was used for?
