Mike “OleBessie62” Blackaby -- Jennifer Blackaby (Photographer)-- I found the truck but I asked my daughter to photograph it since she's the art major. A side note was the gas pumps had the last price charged --$0.33 for 94 octane and $0.36 for 100 octane. Been a long time since we've seen prices like that!

William Critchfield -- Here is my 1951 GMC ¾-ton truck. I found it sittin’ on a back road with a for sale sign in the window. An old man came out of the house and said just what they all say, "It ran when I parked it 25 years ago." Well, I'm gonna have to belive that crazy old man, because when I put a battery and gas in it, it did in fact run!! Just goes to show you that sometimes they still run. The best part about the truck is I only paid $350 for the old work horse.

3 – Still farm life, ya ain’t kiddin’ - casey_mick.jpg

Mick Casey -- I was out looking over fence lines for old trucks ‘n tractors, I came past a farm that had a ’51 Chevy 3100 sittin’ in a shed, and a lady working in the garden. So I stopped by and got out to meet her and asked if the old truck was for sale. Well, she didn’t think so. It belonged to her husband and it was his Fathers truck. “But we have another truck for sale.” She went to get her husband. I asked him about the Chevy 1/2 ton, and he didn’t want to sell it now … maybe a few years he might (as they are both in there 70’s). He said he had another truck for sale -- a 1952 1 ton. “Oh really? May I see it?” So we walk to another shed and open the door and there sat a 1952 1 1/2 ton CHEVY COE 5 WINDOW, all covered up. As I looked around and I asked does it run ... WELL IT RAN WHEN MY DAD PARKED IT !!! he said -- his Dad parked there 38 years ago and a week later his Dad died. BOY did that hit me hard standing there in front of him and I didn’t know what to say and I couldn’t even swallow. Talk about walking in there all hyped up and than with that gut feeling. I should have kept driving by, but he told me he couldn’t touch it and or move it because his 90-something mother always asked is that truck still in that shed. He told me she past away in early spring of this year and he now wants to sell it. We talked and gave me a price but I would like his half ton instead. We talked half a day away. I went back a week later, and we looked it over and I took some pics for you or anyone else interested. BUT yea, it ran when his Dad parked it.

Dave Isle -- My Uncle used this for many years up in the great north woods of Minnesota logging. It is a 1942 half track with title. When my Uncle retired, so did the half track. It is reverting to dust now, and of course when I asked, my Uncle said "it ran when I parked it."

2 I think I lost my way ??? - bailey.jpg

Mark Bailey - My wife and I do a lot of back country hiking and we have found many old trucks sitting in weird places. This ‘46/47 ton truck was in the valley below several gold mines in the area that have been shut down since the 1940's. Floods and forest growth have covered the remains of this truck. I have been hiking through this area for over 25 years and I had never seen it before. The rain forced us off the path for shelter and that is how I spotted it.

1 Fixin' it up someday - needs.jpg

Les Parker - The 1958 TF is a 3600. It was parked in 1989 to judge by the inspection sticker on the windshield. No one around seemed to know why it had been parked, but it was not for sale. They plan to "fix it up some one day." There are still sections of pipe of some kind in the bed. It is surrounded by a lot of old riding mowers.
