What's in Yankee Dave's Garage: Old Trucks

I have always had a special spot in my heart for old trucks.  Nothing beats a beat up old truck in my opinion....except for maybe a convertible shoebox Ford!  Yankee Dave also is very fond of old trucks and has quite a few in his collection he is hauling home to put in his newly built pole barn.

Stewie is a 1952 International and was what Yankee Dave first learned to drive a clutch on.  Stewie was being used to store things on in a barn for a long time and I think he's kinda pissed about it because he refuses to turn over anymore and Yankee Dave was hauling him around with his farm tractor.

 We need to put Stewie back together again and get him running!  Perhaps he will be a Winter project?  I think he'll be much happier living in Yankee Dave's new garage.

Big George is a 1944 General Motors COE.  He is also painted my favorite color and I'm hoping to give him a wax and try and preserve the awesome patina on the outside!  As you can see, George has been stored away in a barn for a really long time.  He was last inspected in 1969 and had a previous life on an orchard, hauling fruit to market.  George has a top speed of 45 miles per hour...so it probably took all day to get those apples to market in the 1940's!



George was to big for the car trailer and came home in style on the back of  Yankee Dave's friend's hauler... Makes Big George look, well, tiny!



It was quite the show to see!  George still runs after all these years but needs some new breaks and a gas tank.  Lets just say mason jars make handy little gas tanks!





Are you keeping count of what's in Yankee Dave's garage??!!  It's getting crowded in here!

See you soon!
