The recent craze for restoring trucks and SUV’s is cool, but in some ways kind of sad. After all, once returned to perfection, can they accomplish the tasks for which they were originally built? Who will pick up a load of gravel with a perfectly restored ’49 GMC dump truck? Who will go explore two-track offroad trails at the wheel of that glisteningly immaculate ’69 Bronco with the knobby, but shined-for-show, tires?
Thank goodness, then, that there are still oldies doing their original job. Take Richard Douglass’s 1959 Rambler Super
