Okay. We are now owners of a 1951 Chevy water truck. Jeff got a stinkin' good deal (which he found on Craigslist). We went to check it out today, and it checked out okay, for a 1951 water truck. Obviously it is a little rusty, and paint chipping, etc. but the point of this truck is for...WATER. The guy was asking only $1000 for it, and my husband, yes, that would be my Law-Dog, got it for $700. It was extremely slow going, getting home, from all the way as far east in Flagstaff as you can get. The old truck can only go up to 45 mph. So I was following Jeff in our FORD ;o), following him with the hazard blinkers on, and sure enough, we made it home. Jeff says this is his Birthday present. So Happy Birthday Law-Dog! I must say, I love the look of it. I enjoy the 50s style trucks. They are pretty classic. I told Jeff we should paint it that classic dark green, one day. Now that would look snazzy. So this is a very practical buy, for where we live. We can go get our 1200 gallons (that's how big that tank is on that truck), and fill up our tank for our home...oh yeah...and the future pond! Heehee! Good times.
