This guy has two. He must drive them because they're not always parked in the same place.

I believe they are both 1970s.

Not a bump. At least the wrecker is a Ford. I saw this one on West 23rd Street in Manhattan. Taken with the cellphone.

This isn't a Bumpside, but I thought it was waaay cool. My neighbor just had an enormous oak tree fall in a storm, it crushed my other neighbor's garage. The guy who was cutting up the fallen tree was using this as his work truck, a '76 F600 Crew Cab with a 361FT. He said he'll keep driving it forever. :thup:

about a week ago i was surprised to see a '72 camper special that looks like it was abandoned at the end of my street, unless the guy parks it in the same exact spot.When i did look at it there was a couple of broken wheel studs on the front, a nice 60/40 bench swap and a awful roll bar, the odd thing was the last person who owned the house had a 67 f100 that he daily drove with a mean soundin small block.

i think i'd have requested a roll back for that. at least he seems to be in "good humor" in the first pic. lol he might be a member over on the slick60s site.

Pops and I were working on 'Ol Blue in the garage yesterday and this truck just went driving past. Luckily he stopped a few houses down and we were able to card and talk to him.

Turns out this is his work truck the guy is a painter. We couldn't really talk to him as he was trying to do a bid for painting a house. He seemed nice enough and who knows, maybe he'll pop in here. :thup:
