The truck is a 1945 model, yes, I said 1945. It's one of 18,000 made by Ford after the war ended in August of 45. It belonged to my In-Laws and was used as a shop truck for many years. It made many trips 100 miles to deer camp driven by my mother-in-law. It sat in a field from about 1968 until my mother-in-law gave it to me about 1998. I spent four years restoring it.
Wish I had a Parker box to display with it. Maybe I'll just put a couple of my Parkers in a picture with it someday.
