I suspect the owner loved these trucks back in the 1960s and over values them.Taken For Grantedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06763027485732267570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205118861048936895.post-31154229956591932822012-08-13T06:09:47.669-05:002012-08-13T06:09:47.669-05:00I've never seen anything like that down here.I've never seen anything like that down here.Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806482148547283594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2205118861048936895.post-74156911050344736442012-08-12T12:38:54.437-05:002012-08-12T12:38:54.437-05:00Look like military vehicles!
