old but beautiful
there are few things that can match A well kitted out Lux... this old beauty however in my eyes will always be right up there with the best. It is 100% original and in sound mechanical condition...all it needs is a new paint job...which I am told is soon going to happen. It is 1940. 6 X wheel drive ford military truck. My neighbour owns it and I have been coveting it for some time now. Last I checked one is allowed to covet your neighbours trucks....

Re: old but beautiful
Those Ford trucks had a sidevalve V8 with a masive flywheel, rumour has it that a good mechanic could tune it so that the idling was so slow you could count the fan blades

Re: old but beautiful
Now that is something to cherish! Please post pics after the paint job as well. What colour is he going for? I quite like the existing Military Green/Red combo! ;)
