I had one of them when I was 20, I`m now crowding my seventh decade. I think mine was a 49 merc original flathead 8 with 4speed stick one-ton pick-up. It had the same plywood farmer racks they must have come special order lol. I remember coming home from the hotel, Friday night after work with the boys I worked with., parked the truck, and headed to the outside john for a crap, it was winter time and the snow was deep, finished my job and headed to the house about halfway there the overload of alcohol struck I stumbled and fell down in the deep snow and passed out. At some point in time, my wife came out to check if I was still breathing, went back in the house, and came back out with a quilt and covered me up, Every time I see one of those trucks I think of that, that same woman bless her heart, passed away six years ago, just before our 45th anniversary.
