It sure is. I chose it to illustrate how to attach material .
circa 46. Age about 16. On my bicycle or my horse, i searched the back alleys of El Pao, Texas for a car I could afforsd with the money I earned at my job at a soda fountain. budget $25.00! 100 hours!!! I fpounmd a derelict 23 T roadster pickup. No tires or rims. On the spoled weels. I got my uncle to tow it free and tioolk it home. Folks OK as it would never run and would keep me in the driveway and away from trouble.
with the help of school chum and owner of neat 27 T. we got it to run, Towed it with his T a lot of times. cure. Removed head., freed a stuck valve. Fired immediately wheh I out it in gear. We freed it from the tow t. i drove it home. Still no tirtres!!! Found a set of just barely holding air. Another 25 bucks. Thsoe 10 x 31?2 were pure trouble I figured out a cxrude way to use a popular size 600 x 16. More scrounging here and there, til I got four wheels four tires and four tubes. Much better. Then I did not like the truck idea. off with the fenders and truk bed. Dad got a slick radiator and shell from a work mate. ugh, too tall. So, off with the hood. parents a bit in fear but also proudl i donot have a pic of it;s final form. a 27 T roadster Still t power, but warmed up and sportig a two speed rear axle. Many adventures in that ca.r Including going to first year of college.
