Ol' Blue

      Ol' Blue is a 1946 Chevrolet 1-1/2 ton with a 4 speed transmission,
whatever rear end was put in it at the factory, and a rebuilt bed.    I have
had the truck since 1978 when I bought it in Arizona.    The story, I am
told, is that the truck was bought new in Phoenix, driven to the Prescott
valley and spent it's active life there on a ranch doing whatever needs to be
done on a ranch.   Sometime in the '70's, maybe the late '60's, it was parked
when the old cowboy who owned it was no longer able to drive the truck.   A
fellow in Jerome bought the truck, then decided to sell it in 1978, and I
just happened to be the lucky buyer.   

      I drove Ol' Blue to Tucson, then in 1982 to Winslow where I lived
until 1988.  I moved to Kansas City and stored the him back in Tucson with a
friend who did the work of cleaning him up a bit and building a new bed.

      In 1997 Ol' Blue and I drove to Orange County, California where I had
no room to keep him at home, so he had to stay at a storage lot and got
pretty lonely.
