Welcome to the last installment of Day of the Truck . For some reason, I saw a bunch of cool-ass trucks today yesterday. I managed to take pictures of a few of them. I've been posting them so that you too can enjoy the trucktacular truckness.
This truck is definitely my favorite of the day.
Like the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! it's used as a work truck by maintenance staff at a big marina.
I don't think it's used every single day, but it is registered and insured.
It's got the infinite street presence that comes with real earned patina.
It's been sitting in the sea air for god knows how many years, so there's no escaping the car cancer.
But it's been patched up where necessary, in the best, most characterful manner.
It's got a shiny new set of headlights, and a 6 foot antenna. Ya know, just in case.
Old truck, new toolbox. This thing isn't just resting on it's laurels, it's contributing.
It may be a little ragged around the edges, but what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. And there's no cobweb of age that can't be brushed off with a bit of WD-40 and a invigorating drive.
That's all I've got. Pretty good day of truck spotting, I'd say. I definitely enjoyed it. Hope the three people who watched this thought so too.
