I love old pickup/work trucks. Even though I grew up during the muscle care era in the late 60's, I've always preferred pickup trucks. As a teenager back in the late 60's, all the guys I knew with a new camaro, mustang, or firebird were punk-ass rich kids and Daddy had bought them that awesome car. All the old farmers around me that I admired/respected were MEN and they could actually teach me something useful, give me a job, and they all drove pickup trucks. Maybe they got me to relating driving a pickup truck to becoming a man. In fact, I've just realized I haven't actually owned a car since I got out of the Army 45 years ago, so there may be some validity to that thought....
I stay in touch with some of my oldest friends on Facebook and today I came across a picture of a really nice looking old pickup. When I clicked on it, it took me to a FB page that features nothing but old trucks. I loved it and thought I'd share with some guys on this Forum that seem to love old trucks also. Here's the link and a picture of an unusual truck that is posted on that FB page as a teaser to the rest of the content and it's something you don't see every day. I wonder if that 1929 Colorado "Special Permit" has expired.....

One of the more obscure U.S. automotive brands was Crosley. The only actual Crosley I ever saw growing up was one of their rarest and weirdest models. Ever heard of, or seen, a Crosley "Farm-O-Road"?
Very small jeep-looking utility farm vehicle about the size of a Roof Palomino.... One of the old farmers that lived close by had one and it was cool as hell. Way more useful than today's side-by-sides. They only made them from 1950-1952 at their Marion, Indiana plant, so there were quite a few sold to farmers in and around Central Indiana, but probably no more than 2,000 were ever built
63" wheelbase, 1,100 lbs curb weight, 26.5Hp, but they were handy as hell on a farm because of all the attachments you could run. I'd love to have one today......

The more you look at this, the more you see how complex of a engineering job this became...... This is some serious fabricating talent.
Yep....... That's a "walk through" cab with what looks like a modified Rampage Soft Top for the rear passenger area. With this short of a wheel base, it leads me to believe, this thing is the combination of a 1st generation Bronco and late 70's F150

My Dad was a big Oldsmobile fan, I can't fault him for that....... He had a 1958 Olds 98 with the 371ci, J-2, "Tri-power". Good thing gas was $.30 a gallon, if you decided to give it a "Kick in the pants" and come in with all three 2-barrels
