1957 Chevy work truck, ain't it ridiculous how cool this would be for a tow rig, or pusher at the drags?

The owner wants it to find a new home. For 1400 it's yours, http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=san+diego&ie=UTF8&ll=32.725343,-116.866164&spn=0.025597,0.051541&z=15 it's on the East end of Myrtle street. Best wishes to all of you involved, and I'm not doing anything else until it has a new owner who wants to crow about his newest cool truck's new life. Don't email about it unless you're now the owner, 'cause I ain't responding to anything else about this situation.

Seen while out and about

Best on top, a tri 5 trifecta, a convertable, a Nomad, a hardtop... all neglected in the same yard


Yup, a damn big Unit

Olds? Buick?
Looks like a convertable Alfa from the late 50's early 60's? These Italian sports cars are not my area of expertise

Bello is well represented by his truck on the street calling attention to his 3 in the driveway

Looks better in person, when the top is down, and the 4 speed is shifting around 4ooo rpm. Sounds great, but what will just floor you? Looks the divorcing wife is going to make it go away for her half of its value

Check out the utility boxes on the back! This was a shop truck, or construction, or something similar... way cool if someone gave it a second life.

When karma works in my favor, I find all sorts of cool neglected stuff!

Take a look at the bricks and blocks holding the truck up... they are leaning over badly. Not good.

It might be funny to say that the truck was speeding so fast they bent the needle when it hit the peg, but it sure is a striking photo that seems to infer time passing since the last time this truck was a daily worker earning it's way in the world.
"Lead Dray Transfer 50" I don't know what that is about more than the actual definition of the words. However, the woman who brought the truck West from it's origin of the South Dakota Black Hills told me that it used to belong to the guy who delivered coal to her, and when she was married, the guy and his wife stood at her wedding. I infer that the newlyweds bought the coal truck sometime after the wedding, and used it to move their household goods to their new home in California
That milk crate was left in place after it's last use as a makeshift seat.. funny, but I've heard of several people using a milk crate that way.

Ever have a good day finding cars? I was out and had a great day, these were just along the way to the incredibly rare stuff

below is a jeep, so what is the yellow one above?
