Things that go bump in your town

[rjewkes]

in the last three or four weeks working for furniture row Delivery i have been all over the 4 state area of kansas,mo and ok, have yet to go anywhere in ark yet, but now know where atleast 50 bumps of varying sizes and bed lengths and types sit.

I found a sweet little 71' stepside this past Tuesday pretty close to me. Looks like it's been sitting for awhile now. If I don't have to move, maybe I can make him an offer. Looks pretty decent:

Looks like it has some sort of winch bumper on the front of it.

That step also has late model rear fenders on it. Personally I like the old bubble fenders myself, just saw a '72 F100 short step side on the way to work today in fact, they're rare out this way.

PS - By the grille that truck is a '72 as well.

Good evening! I really admire all the great photos of random Bumpsides y'all have collected here!

After reminding myself about how great a lot of these photos are, the photos I'm posting now seem silly (at least the quantity of photos of the same truck). Kasie took these with her iPhone while I was driving erratically to keep up with it!

I was only able to get photos from behind, but I saw the front. It had a 1971 grille on it, and its engine sounded a little rattly (or so I thought, in the midst of lots of traffic noise).

These photos were taken in Mountain View, California, on San Antonio Road nearby East Charleston Road (about a block away from the Mountain View Costco Wholesale).

On the photos that turned out better, I made sure to blur the license plate as a courtesy to its owner.

Thanks for looking!

This one was at that place I don't care to mention, sitting near the gas station today.

Good day John!

Oh I see, that's excellent John! I lived in Palo Alto for three years so I know the area well. Do you like the burrito bar behind the market on the corner of Middlefield and Rengstorff? Those are my favorite burritos on the world.

Here's another Bumpside I saw today. Kasie and I wandered up a tiny, one lane road that goes to a rural church in North Salinas, and this truck was parked outside.

There were a couple of cars around the church and I didn't want to make them nervous, so I didn't get out and look at it more closely. But I could see that it had a 1967 hood and an aluminum grille. You can click on this photo for a full-size version (which doesn't show much more).



Thanks for writing John!

Yes, La Bamba, they are very good. There is another one on the other side called Los Altos Taquera that is excellent.

Is it a short bed? I'm looking for one to buy as my son's first car.

Good afternoon John, sorry for my late reply!

Oh great! Thanks for letting me know. I might give it a whirl next time I'm in the area.

Sorry, but I don't remember if I got a good enough look at it to tell. There weren't any signs that it was for sale, but I could go snoop around there again if you were particularly interested in it for any reason! It's just five minutes from my house.

Here's a truck Kasie and I saw today in Capitola, California, nearby the Albertson's on Bay Avenue. It appeared to be a 1968 F250 with a 390 and a C6; it was in very nice driving condition!

I've been driving by this one near my son's high school for a few years now. Finally got a picture. Looks pretty straight, but neglected. Oh, it's in Campbell, CA.

[Menace Kustoms]

This is for sale in Victorville, Ca at a body shop. I drive by it every day on my way to and from work/school. It is extremely straight and very original. The inside is nice too. F350, and it still has bias ply tires on it! I think it's one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

[jzjames]

wow. That looks like it would be fun.

As far as I know I´ve got the only Bump in my town of 50,000 people ...the only other old Ford truck belongs to a friend of mine but it´s a Dent.

Capitola?! Lucky!!!!
That's my favoritest place ever You were right by my grandma's house, and i am 99% sure i have taken a picture of that exact truck. I just looked all over for the pictures but couldn't find them, but it was a green/white bump just like that one in Capitola, near where you saw that one.
