I was sitting at good friends shop and he was looking to buy a old Chevy truck out in Nebraska.

You are making me feel very old.      :angry-tappingfoot:     That is very much like the first NEW truck I bought and now you are calling it an"OLD CHEVY TRUCK"!         :confusion-confused:                     OK, guess I'm just old!             :ychain:

Looks good.            :woohoo:

Don't sweat over getting old. It happens to the best of us. Actually, it happens to the worst of us too.

 

There once was a time when I was working on the auto parts counter and a beautiful young woman walked up to buy some stuff. We completed the transaction and she wrote out and handed me a check. She had just turned 18 and was excited to write out her checks on her own new account. She had the type of name that there could have been only one of her in the area. The address had changed but I asked her if she had been born in such and such a place because I remember her as a newborn.

 

Of course she said yes and I felt about 752 years old at that moment.

 

That was over 21 years ago!

:text-coolphotos:                 That was a great tour, thanks.   This Power Wagon brought back memories of the first non-farm job I had. The service station I worked at while in high school had two of them and they were awesome. Slow, rough riding, but nearly unstoppable!     :thanks:

I hope all enjoyed the photos. The trip was a great time and the museum was seriously phenomenal. From the trucks to the vintage signs that covered the walls and hung from the ceiling. It was amazing, the staff got a kick out of me and my friend cause we were crawling on the ground checking the trucks out and just truly enjoying the opportunity. But if ya ever get out that way I suggest plan for a 2 hour side trip to check it out.

@Chris G

I can't thank you enough for all the pictures.

I've been around trucks my entire life and love seeing them today just as much as when I was a little tot.

From the one off purpose created rigs to the trucks that were once just a daily driver... An absolutely wonderful awesome historical collection there.

Thank you.
