My dad purchased this truck in 1980, out was a flatbed lumber truck. He also purchased a stake bed one ton the same day and sold it the following week. He later the same year purchased a two ton 1946 COE. This was all on our farm in northern California. He got a job in Sosa springs Idaho when I was three, he put the 46 on blocks and chains on the frame of the 41, and he and I took off for Idaho. He was laid off about a year later and went through a divorce with my mom, I was four. He lost both trucks because he owed 300.00 rent. 27 years later, I was in the navy and moving across country, I decided to find the trucks. The 46 was scrapped for steel by a little old lady that owned them at this point, but I found my 41. I wrote her a check and three years later I went up in a blizzard with a flatbed trailer, and towed her home, where she rests in my yard in Nevada, waiting to be restored by me and my two year old son when he gets a bit older.
