My husband does bring me the coolest stuff!
This time it's a 1950 Dodge Pickup that has been sitting in a scrapyard in Beatrice, Nebraska, for who knows how many years. It's rusted and it's so cool I can't stand it.
As a couple of old hotrod people, Ed and I have been watching for an old pickup truck for a long time, something I could drive every single day that will haul bags of mulch, spring shrubs, groceries, my art show set up, absolutely everything - and now we have it. Of course, it's going to take a little work but, by and large, this is how it will look when it's up and running with the exception of a little chrome here and there. And a cool interior.
I have this 'thing' for patinaed vehicles - not really a rat rod but not quite a hot rod, either. I love the layers of paint and a little rust here and there. And if I know Ed, this gem will have a smokin' hot, super fast, can't catch me, engine when it gets going.
Oh yeah, I'm in love.

Yep, what she said.
So jealous I could spit.
I'm with genie and Lisa.
Awesome.
I'm speechlessly jealous.
Perfect.
Me too! My hubby wants an old truck so bad.
This is old classic pick up. 1950 dodge pickup truck is old model truck. This is old and it is fully damage.

I totally get what you mean about having a little rust here and there. This type of truck just looks better wearing a used or a kind of worn-down appearance. I’m looking for pictures of it in your blog, but I couldn’t find any. How did you do it up, Lynn? :) -->Tyra Shortino
