1956 Dodge service station truck

The bed is probably from the many 1948 Bell Telephone repair trucks, reused as they were built to last. (thanks Gary!)

the wonderful Cotati Speed Shop and Miller Welding shop truck... this is just great in so many ways, it's legit patina and real work aged, it's a 1969 Chev truck, and they have a welding rod rack in the back window

 that fron bumper push board is damn cool, reminds me of slingshot dragster team vehicle
 to have a old time phone number with a word and uppercase letters... that is a cool touch
 great rims and hub caps, terrific lettering and subtle but superb pinstriping
 and check out the terrific tailgate and side mount vise! But the coolest thing is that the tailgate has the flip reinforced steel table with legs for extra bracing, size and workbenck area

 Notice that the Miller welder logo is on the protective covers, and that they are flip out of the way hinged, both for the tailgate welder, and the side mounted one in the front of the bed


instead of a rear window gun rack.... which as a Michigan birthright I am very familiar with, he has tubes that carry welding rods! That is great!

their website for the Cotati Speed Shop is http://cotatispeedshop.com/
