Every now and then (just happened again today) someone who has just finished reading Truck: A Love Story requests that I post Before and After photos of my ’51 ‘Binder (that is to say, my 1951 International Harvester L-120 Model, 3/4-ton, long bed pickup truck).  We never did an official shoot but if you click on the photos below you’ll get the idea:

This is the star of Truck: A Love Story.
