And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
hell, yeah ! looks like late 1960's or early 1970's model from the dash. dad had a 1968 chevy C-20 pickup that I wish I could have gotten before he gave it away to his brother. although it was in better shape than the one above the last time I saw it. now ? who knows as he drove into the ground. bastard.
dad had a one ton that looked like that but in blue and it had foot emergency brake, However it was an automatic and had a 396 under the hood. I drag raced cameros in high school with it. Damn the thing could fly off the line!
That's the Power Take Off... It's not a pickup, but probably a 1 1/2 ton or better. You can also see the cable for the 2 speed axle on the gearshift. Probably a farm truck with a grain bed, or maybe a regular dump truck.

ReplyDeleteWhat is the 1 1/2 " diameter black knob for, below the dash, just to the left of the steering column?

ReplyDeleteAt least throw a blanket on the seat.
ReplyDeleteAnd get a better steering wheel. Steel gets very hot in the sun
Deletelooks like somebody has already driven it a bunch more than you would. but, maybe they were smiling.
ReplyDeleteBack in the very early 1960's, my dad taught me to drive in a 1950's Ford pickup with a manual transmission. Those were the days!!!
