My Dad passed this down to me 2 years ago with my Mom died and him and I brought it from Michigan to Ohio this weekend. It runs, just needs a new muffler and painted. Loved this as a kid growing up. He bought it in the late 60's. We could only go 45 on the highway pulling it!!!

Agree with John... you need to find some images of vintage delivery trucks... would be killer as a 7up or some type of cola truck!
And how about that dinning room?.. I'm gonna show my wife those pics... as every guy here should! then we can report back!
Great truck!... Brian keep us posted on any progress on it and any other machines you can sneek in the house!

I dunno about spreading the word. There is always a chance that women can get together, and one thing leads to another and all those machines could be in the back yard. My wife lets me get away with bringing assorted machines and games into the house, but I tell her everyone else does it. If I let her mingle with other women, she would find out the truth and I'd have no toys.. smile

that is a cool truck Brian.. Looks like a great parade vehicle..

Brian, Great looking truck now that you moved back north you should try and take it to the Vintage Truck Show Aug 7th in Springfield Ohio. It's a good time.   Matt

Thanks guys! I love the truck. When my Mom passed my Dad told a 1955 Ford Fairlane, 1931 Model A and a 1965 Rambler. He passed this to me and no way was I selling it! I think it is very cool. It is a 1919 Model T state truck they call it. I have really never seen one that has this type of bed on the back. It's all original and all I want to do is get a new muffler, tune up and repainted. I could go with a 7up truck or something, but tell you the truth I like these colors. My Dad painted it this way in 1970. I might just keep it the same colors. As for the stuff in the front room, it took a long time to get her to let me put stuff in the house!

Brian,

Glad to see that the truck made the trip safely.  That is one cool Model T.  Like the machines in the house as well.  Let me know if you ever decide to sell that cigarette machine.

Yea a rambler. My mom had 1966 or something 4 speed rambler beeter she drove until she got a 1974 american motor ambasader. Oh I so wanted that car until my dad figured out how to burn up the engine. The only thing wrong with the ambasader besides being a 70's boat was the seats need to be redone and one metal wheel peice was missing. It got hit one year and the autobody didn't put a new one back on. If it wasn't for the fire. I would probably have it as a show car now. had a rare 360 engine in it. I remeber driving it when I first got my drivers license. Took it on the interstate and floored it. Yea It keeped going. I finally pulled my food off the gas. LOL
