3 feet and 60 years apart
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.

Re: 3 feet and 60 years apart
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 Last edited by Tinker; 09-25-2018 at 12:01 AM. |

Re: 3 feet and 60 years apart
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?

Re: 3 feet and 60 years apart
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.

Re: 3 feet and 60 years apart
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.

Re: 3 feet and 60 years apart
Awesome! We should start a thread based on this.

Re: 3 feet and 60 years apart
I would love to see more of these side by side shots. Imagine a lincoln v12 parked next to a new 'lincoln' suv?
