I Have A Thing for Old Trucks

I have a thing for trucks.

Hottie Husband had this really cool lifted red truck in high school. 

I joke with him that it was the truck I liked first.

But, recently I have a thing for old trucks.

There is one for sale just down the street from us and every time we drive by, the boys say-

Mom, there's your truck!

This summer we took a trip to Idaho and along the road to the bed and breakfast we were heading to, we saw this- 

I wonder if his neighbor or wife or friend had the sign made for him.

I just had to stop and take a few photos. 

I love all the parts of an old truck.

The mirrors, the grills, the headlights

handles, 

gauges, steering wheels, 

and windows have so much character. 

I love that the keys are in the ignition. 

The angel flying in front of this one reminded me of a ship. 

It was bright and shiny compared to the rusted and chipped paint that I love.

I wanted to know the story behind it. 

Gene saw me lurking in his yard and hollered to me asking if I needed a ride somewhere.

I answered that I just love old trucks and wanted to take some pictures if that was alright with him.

He said- Shoot, take some trucks if you want to.

I thought about taking that one with the keys in the ignition, but what in the world would I possibly do with a two seater?
