Another old truck found in a junkyard. I'd guess late 40's vintage.
(I was born in the 40's, so these vehicles are particularly interesting to me.)

Yes, and they had BUMPERS! I think we would save ourselves much expenses if we still had bumpers. And it is hard to believe that these old vehcles are so rusty - I feel old!

Look at the bumper. It is chrome and looks almost as good as new. A testament to the quality of production from those days of old.

I'm guessing here but I think the truck in the foreground is a Studebaker, late 40's model.

Said by someone who doesn't remember bumpers getting locked together requiring someone to bounce one car while trying to back up the other.

My Uncle Frank had one of those. Drove it to work at the bomber plant in White Settlement (west of Fort Worth) when they were making the B36. Sure was a treat for a five-year-old like me to ride in i, standing up in the front seat. Thanks for the photo that rekindles so many memories, like parking at the end of the
Consolidated Aircraft runway and watching a B36 take off. This 76-year-old guy can still visualize that today so well that I can almost feel the ground shake.

Great picture and here is what comes to my mind with those old pickups, and its the fact that the gas tank was in the cab right behind your back. And picture someone with a corn cobb pipe or cigarette or stogie with that bomb watching your back. Ole those were days.
