There’s a row of old Power Wagons sitting on a farm out in North Central Massachusetts that I pass by fairly often, looking just as tired and as tough as this one in Wisconsin. These trucks are the kind… more»

1968 International 4×4 With Alaskan Camper

Chopped Top! 1930 Ford Model A Project

I’m not sure what to make of this one, it’s a chopped top Model A but more like the parts and a hulk of a Model A with a chopped top. Want more information? You can inquire but it… more»

Shortbed Barn Find: 1977 Chevrolet C10 Scottsdale

Although it’s described as being a barn find, this 1977 Chevrolet C10 Scottsdale must have been laid up in one of the tidiest lean-tos ever seen. Sporting gorgeous two-tone paint, it offers the preferred short box bed along with… more»
