This truck was owned by only one other person before me. It was owned by a plumber and when he died, it willed it to my neighbor, his friend who was also a plumber. When it arrived, my neighbor, Harry, said, "I already have a truck and don't need this one. It's 21 years old. Do you want it?" I gladly took it when I was 18 years old and have had it for the last 60 years. When I taught school in the 1970's it was my main transportation. When I purchased apartment buildings it was, and continues to be, a working truck hauling appliances. But the bed is in beautiful condition because I protect it.
