Posting this for fun.
The truck is a 1952 L-120 International, my mothers dad purchased this truck new in 1952. It was given to me ~ 25 years ago when he passed as the family figured I was the only one that would keep it running. It is original with the exception of the red paint, tires, and, well the Beta... 8) I had stored it in a barn on my folks place in Oklahoma for about 12 years, moved around a lot with the oil field during that time. I decided a few months back I needed to retrieve it from the barn and bring it home. My wife asked me how I intended to load it up. I told her I'm buying a new 6 volt battery, installing it, airing up the tires, putting some gas in it and driving it on the trailer. That is exactly what I did! I was a little shocked my self, but I told her with such confidence I had to succeed. ;D

very nice.
Lack of computers and stuff to go wrong make that a true gem.
