That is a good looking truck! My Dad has a 58 Ford "Plumber" s what it was registered as. I love the looks of these old trucks, and that is a prime example. Thanks for posting! :thup:

That´s even cooler when he actually uses it as his work truck! :thup: Is the welding equipment on the truck stock or did he fit a new welder in it?

That is awesome. I love seeing antitque trucks still working. I have to say though with some if these new diesels i.e. 6.0 I feel the older truck is more reliable. I drive my 69 bump everyday no problems. My 6.0's which I have 7 of them now has one spot in my garage it seems like dedicated to fixing them. One goes out and then one comes in. If anyone has a problem with their's just PM and I probably can walk you through the problem.
