The Ford Barn

My wife and I took the red tonner to the dump today and on the way home stopped for groceries and parked next to another red one ton ford pickup.

You should have challenged him to a One-On-One Demolition Derby!

When I put my 1/2 ton 38 or the 36 coupe next to a 2000 ford truck... It'll dwarf the vehicles (guess people were smaller then or we need more room now).

Your Tonner does not have that same effect! Nice picture

You had better be careful about overloading that truck!

He knows the tailgate will hold. Looks right, GB!

Your truck has more character, great pic.

I added a few leaves to the rear spring pack just in case. I have a big piece of steel boiler plate in the bed now because the last 1/2 mile of road up to my place is a steep gravel washboard. I like a pickup that is a bit higher in the rear when empty. What was I thinking?

alanwoodieman · 09-25-2018, 07:57 AM

just what is that hiding just beyond your great looking tonner?

GB SISSON · 09-25-2018, 08:25 PM

That would be my woodie I built from a '47 ford 1/2 ton, unless you mean my '82 case skidsteer/forklift. I would have thought you'd seen the woodie here over the last 3 years.

And your's is a beauty! My wife enjoys riding in the woodie. The rough riding, gear whining, crash-boxing tonner pickup, not so much. But then it's in the early stages and still quite rough around the edges.

Another comparison.

Glass lasts WAY too long......Still perfect after 70 years.

working on my 49 F1, when done I will hunt down a modern ford truck to take a photo

GB SISSON · 09-26-2018, 08:14 PM

I would love to see more of these side by side shots. Imagine a lincoln v12 parked next to a new 'lincoln' suv?
