Pickup trucks are unique in that they are the only vehicles that actually look better with a few dents and scratches.
I once owned a real beaut of a 52 3/4 ton.
One local writer that I knew in the small town I was living in at the time described it as looking like it had survived a bombing.
It was so be-a-utiful, that when stopping at four-way stops, even police would yield;
My own looks may have enhanced the effect.
After a while, I got a newer truck. '61 C10. Rusty but trusty.
Drove down to L.A. once with a load of firewood filling the bed, about level full.
Stopped somewhere down there to get fuel, and I guess the looks of me in stained Carharts, scuffed boots, t-shirt, loose flannel over shirt, beard, along with the appearance of the truck I'd paid every bit of $300 for up in Oregon, had one of the L.A. denizens say out loud;
I was kind of shocked at first, he was some distance away, saying it loudly, and it took me a moment to catch on to his meaning. At first considering he was joking, I said something like, "well, you don't have to make fun of me, just 'cause the way I look" to which he replied,
I got a pretty good laugh out of it.
The guy walked off, shaking his head, saying, "I don't believe this..." lol
