The little fridge in the tan truck.

Here is an old truck that Phil found on one of his journeys.

Does anyone know what this truck is?

Some interior pics of the tan truck.

I think that what you see here may be a water heater.

Oh, I know, It is an atomic powered action booster! No, really, it is a heating system that is attached to the engine heater hose to heat the hot water while you drive the vehicle.

New seats.

Notice that the metal grate that used to be behind the seats has been removed.

Well, that's the last of my photos of Phil's trucks. BUT, there are bonus tracks! I will format those two pictures of six wheel Volvos, I mentioned earlier. Thanks for viewing. I have to do some work on the Blue Bird today. We are hooking up propane lines for the heaters. Gotta get ready for the winter. Rudy

In the closing of this picture show, we see Phil having a great time driving these six wheel Volvos. I don't know where he finds these things.

The fire truck appears to be a K series International Harvester. Maby a K-5 or even a K-7? It would have a large flathead 6-cylinder gas motor. Sweet old trucks!
