I'm pretty sure that is a model 5700 rather than a S700.

We had one when I was a kid on the farm. Used primarily as a grain truck but was also a medium duty truck for general hauling.

I would love to own one .. , not the twin rear wheel version like this one but just the normal 4 wheel .

Not a Chevvy but Clint Eastwood had a classic truck in the movie Gran Torino when he was bad ass with the 3 gentlemen of colour scene .. one of my fav movies Mr Eastwood brilliant actor.

Theres a Chevy stepside similar to Clints for sale in Khon Kean , but i think Clints was a ford !.
Believe it or not that 6 wheeler is worth more as is , with the sweaty look than one thats been tarted up with new paint and shiny chrome . Thats how collectors want to find them , with years of wear on them , especially commercials .
Proves that its genuine .
Its also not a rat rod , and looks fairly stock , from the photo .
A rat rod is something thats been cobbled together using whatever bits available , which often means many parts from different makes with a bit of home made stuff as well .

Light traffic into & around town.
Dibble is sat at his usual place outside the new Honda on the HWY2 ring road crossroads. The solar LED speed limit signs are also still working northbound which surprises me, the other ones I’ve seen only last about a week before they display 88.

No sign of any yank tanks on my travels

Clint's truck looks to be 68 to 72 model Ford. Highly collectable in the US. My dream truck would be a 56 Ford with a 3 " chopped top, tubbed out rear, 20 " wheels, satin black with an LS3 motor under the hood. Yea!! :D

If someone were to look at the genes on that truck, DM, I'd be willing to be it was once a VOA (1990's) or even a GI truck in the earliest days of 1960's.

Could well be Mr P..the Thai guy in the pic is the owner ,, hes in his 50s but came with his father who obtained the truck... thats all the info i got except they have numerous other rare vehicles from around the world in their collection.

Made my day it just appearing outside my front door ..

Something appertaining to Udon Traffic has come to light. Now that the Royal Gazette has published the fact that no longer can the RTP receive a portion of the funds collected by7 the use of CCTV or Speed Cameras, then it means that the Roadside stops will be more frequent and less obliging .
S pottering around town could be more expensive for those that treat the roads as their personal race track , ignoring the basic rules of driving plus lack of helmets and lack of facemasks .
The RTP will be seeking to redress the lack of income, one way or the other
Plus with the issuance of NEW fines. Undertaking is also a 500 baht fine, no matter that the idiot in the outside lane is doing 70, you are NOT allowed to UNDERTAKE , annoying I know but it is illegal

As predicted an all new road layout now in action at the AP/RR junction .. with both carriage ways now using the newly laid raised concrete lanes , lots more hunky road guys on site and work on both sides and a team working on the central reservation so it looks like a big push is on to get this completed on time , which is shown as July ? on the large blue sign showing details and safety and traffic delay warning .. the latter have not really materialized at all to date with little or no hold ups and normal traffic flow.

KP for the most part i dont think the police and road taxation departments are or were ever connected with regard to postal cctv speeding and other driving fines .. talk of not being able to renew your porabor tax disc at the LTO with outstanding any postal photographic fines has never happened ..

Expecting more vigilant police check points was always gonna happen ...things need to be paid for.

My shirt is in the wash ... i will stay home until its washed n ironed.

Just noticed looks they are removing part of the large grassy island at the intersection , a shame as i often go over there to studying the wildlife now sadly being evicted. .. also talk of a proper police box instead of the al fresco umpires chairs that only ever get used by the evening bin dippers and flower sellers.

Sorry no pics its way tooo hot.
