I bought this '58 Chevy back in 1977 for $100.
It had a wood bed.
Whoever the previous owner was must have has a shell of something over the bed because the wood was in excellent condition and still retained at least 80% of the original paint.

Too bad the rest of the truck wasn't in as good of shape.

It had the 235 inline 6 and no oil filter. It was optional for this engine and I guess it was a bare bones truck.

I also had a '58 Chevy pickup. It came to me with a straight six and manual transmission, complete with a camper shell. I soon transplanted a 283 V8 into it so it would "go better." Not long after that i traded it for a '65 Sting Ray....

I think I saw a couple Devil's Tower pics earlier in the thread... here's a couple... one from 2003, the other from 2017.

Good trade.

Mine was a little short on power too.

This guy took nature millions of years to carve at the "Paint Mines" in Colorado not far from my son's new place. Went there last week, didn't sweat for 5 days (no pix of that). Joe

I always thought those were pretty cool.

Weren't they used for the first commercial airliners??

I can only imagine the droan from three engines not being synced.

The other day when I was going out to the Salt Mission,
I happened to see this old Carcass.
It looks old.
Probably driven there by one of the Spanish Conquistadors.

Used to see them floating over Las Vegas.
They were flying sightseeing flights from N Vegas.
Next time I’m lucky enough to be out at Valle, AZ I’ll look for a triple.
The Connie is gone from Valle, but there’s still a bunch of old planes there.

A few years ago I visited my son when he was promoted to Master Chief USCG. He was assigned in Alameda, California at the time and I was shown around the area. (More to this story)

These are some of the patrol boats assigned to the area. Part of their duty is to recover bridge jumpers from the Golden Gate Bridge. (One more pic to story)

While there I saw the coroner’s vehicle loading a body that was recently recovered from the bay. It is estimated that about four people per month, that they know of, jump from that bridge. Preventative methods seem not to work. Sad.

Going to have to add this, , instead of a like.

Thanks for the pictures.

Sad to hear that Gen. MacArthur's Connie is no longer at Valle... that was a very interesting piece of history to walk through.

Here's another from the same day I took the pic of the Tri-motor:
