After my Five O’Clock Charlie post last week I received a few emails asking about our feed truck.

Here’s the run down. It’s a Ford F-600.


At one point, I believe it was a lovely shade of turquoise.


The horn has a cool thunderbolt emblem on it.


The gauges are intact, although not all are functioning.


I love the turn signal lever! That little green knob is great; I want one in my pick-up.


Okay, I’ll be honest with you. This gauge had me stumped for a minute. Do you know what it’s for?


Yep! It’s the AM radio.


Here is the gear shift with a high-low splitter.


We bought this truck at a farm sale last year. After getting it home, we replaced the carburetor. (By “we” I mean the mechanically-inclined people around here, which definitely does not include someone who couldn’t figure out what the radio was!) Although it runs relatively well now, I still say it sounds like Five O'Clock Charlie.

Those are awesome pictures of your feed truck. Doesn't have to be fancy, just needs to get the job done.
