Red Truck

By balloonpastor

Well, I’m going to visit the red truck today. And, it’ll probably be the last time I see it. It’s going up for auction on Saturday, and I’m not going to be able to be at the sale. Not that my wife would really love for me to get it anyway. And I probably couldn’t spend more than $150 on it either.

This truck is a 1978 Ford F350. And it reminds me a lot of my favorite TV show growing up – Emergency! Emergency 51.

Emergency was my favorite TV show for a number of years. You remember, that’s where Johnny & Roy were there to save the day. Whether it be saving someone from a snake bite, to being trapped in a wrecked car or a burning house. Johnny & Roy were there to save the day.

Just look at the truck they drove!

I mean, sure, their rescue truck was a 1972 Dodge D300, but they sure do look similar. At least they remind me of each other. i would even paint the wheel rims red!

Anyway, today I’ am going to help the family get things ready for their auction. In between taking loads of stuff from the house, I might have to sneak aside and snap a few last pictures of the red truck.

Oh yeah, if anyone is at the auction on Saturday, and the truck isn’t selling, and you want to bid on it for me, go ahead. I can’t promise what my wife will do or say, but I’m pretty sure she would only hit me and not you. Pretty sure anyway.

    This is great material for my novel-

    After some tweets (that’s twitter language for those of you who aren’t aware) and some facebook comments, I realized I forgot to put the address of the auction down. There’s a bunch of tools, a dump truck, camper, newer truck (year 2000 range), skid loader, 2 + trailers, steam genny, and a bunch of other stuff that’ll be auctioned off too.

    The auction (http://www.auctionzip.com/cgi-bin/auctionlist.cgi?vuid=10969) will begin at 8am on Saturday, March 28th by Jones and Martin Auctions at the Shippensburg Auction Center. The address of the Auction Center is: 1120 Ritner Hwy, Shippensburg, PA 17257
