Default Looking old but proud

This truck has been sitting out for sale for many months. Finally took the opportunity today to stop and get some shots of it.

What a Great Find Dale! I bet that o'l truck could tell some tales if it could talk.
Good job on capturing this bit of Americana!
Thanks for Sharing this

I love the old trucks, they have so much character. Really enjoyed your photos viking.
I bet they would look really cool in black and white too.

I was wondering what they would look like in black and white. Check out my flickr account. I changed two of them to B&W and they do look pretty nice I think. Thanks for the input.

oh ya Dale. It's the black and white version for me. Mind you I really like bw pics. Nice job.
I have taken a bw photo of an old truck in a snow drift that I really like. Perhaps one day I will figure out how to post pics on here and share that one!!!!!!

Thanks guys for all the great comments. Will have to see what I can do with it again someday when I am more prepared. I didn't have my tripod with me and only had a few minutes to stop. Have a great day all.

The second photo is easily my favorite. The composition and tones are superb.
Excellent find!
