"Macs" Old Truck

Last Fall I was driving out in "the boonies" and way in the distance I spotted this old truck sitting there! So lonely, but yet it was being 'cheered on' by having a special spot for itself. So I wanted to pull it out of my shoebox and share it with you all.I wonder what it is and how old it is. Anyone know?

Hey, that's cool. I bet cuzin Jasper would love to have that. He could paint over the door with his own name and handy man business. LOL.

Nice find. Looks like a 1920's vintage to me.

Edit : Looks like this one - 1929 Ford Stakebed

I knew when I saw the title I was going to like this one X. You didn't disappoint. I faved and I think it is one of your best. The surrounding scenery just adds to the nostalgic look of this shot. It is older than me I believe. That's old.

This is a nice shot, and also an interesting subject. And Tick is right the scenery around the truck does make it look more nostalgic. Good job! :)

Super shot Lady V! Believe it or not, my Dad used to have a truck just about like that. We used it to do the irrigating. The irrigation tubes and dams went on the back along with our shovels.

OH! This is an oldie. My father worked for the power plant in our little town and that was the only vehicle we had. Actually he was just to drive it to work but us girls got a ride to school in it on cold mornings. His was blue though. It's a neat picture.

I agree with zunazet as to type. Very nice composition. To bad it is being exposed to the elements. It still looks like it is in good shape for something almost 80 years old.
