At 17, Pitman pumped gas part time, earning 10 cents an hour until he'd saved up $50.
He knew the truck would be coming up for auction and, when it did, he brought his savings and a quiet determination down to the auction house in 1949.
"Eventually, I bid $45 and the auctioneer, as auctioneers do, kept saying, 'Forty-five! Who will give me 50?'" he remembers.
"I stupidly said 'Forty-seven fifty,' and he said 'Sold!'"
