1957 Dodge 1/2 ton pickups. Two of them. One is red and has a flathead 230 with 3 on the tree; we'll be selling that one to pay for the other. The second is green with a 315 Poly V8 and the pushbutton TorqueFlite auto tranny.
The green truck is in much better shape body wise because someone bent the driveshaft in 1976 and continued driving it till the rear axle broke. It was in a barn in Nebraska after that till we bought it last year. Did a lot of work on the brakes, engine and drivetrain over the summer. Got it running just as the snow began to fall, so poor Ethan (yes, he has a name) is shivering in the unheated garage waiting for warmer weather.
