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:

The Truck in Winter
Found some photos of my good ol’ 1951 3/4-ton L-120 ’Binder (the one I wrote about here) under a blanket of snow right around the time we moved from New Auburn to the farm in Fall Creek. The plow tracks remind me that my friend and fellow Nobbern firefighter Eric used to plow for me when I was away. Thanks again, Eric.
