How about a 1948 International KB-5 box truck. This truck was used by the Railway Express Agency, sorta like the UPS/FedEx of railroad freight. My brother bought it off Ebay and had it shipped from the Norfolk, Virginia, area to my door step to "just go over it and fix any of the things it might need." Three years later I am still fixing. Never rebuilt/refurbed anything this old or big, and it needed everything. The engine ran great once I got it tuned and running. Try getting parts for it, you don't, so a lot of fabricating and making things work and keeping it looking original. And my '68 Lemans build has been on hold working on this project. I have posted a more complete story on my adventures and work on the truck if interested in doing some reading. I am at a standstill on the rear brakes - cast iron brake shoes and NAPA just doesn't seem to have any in stock? With many business still closed, I am in need of a fab shop to get a set made in mild steel. Got the shoes 3D scanned for fabrication, just waiting on the world to start moving again. http://oldihc.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=10178

Looks like a picture from the sixties, and the car could have been out of the movie from the early seventies “American Graffiti”. You need a pack of cigarettes rolled on your sleeve. Very cool picture!

Nice...
I was driving to work one morning a couple years ago, in the early predawn darkness I was behind a Lucern Blue 1970 TA on NAS Jacksonville. That’s kind of like seeing a unicorn. When you see it you know it is special.

I know this is a lousy picture. But how often do you see a 1970 TA driving down the road?

My little 4.0 Jeep Cherokee engine, bored & stroked to 4.7. I’ve been working on it since last fall, and it’s ready to go in my 1985 CJ-7. It should make more that twice the power of the 258 inline six that’s in my Jeep currently. With MPFI it should be better on gas too, so I’m looking forward to swapping engines soon.

That is AMC blue. My 1985 CJ-7 has a 258 inline six that is black. I guess AMC quit painting engines blue in the early eighties. The 4.0 engines were black too. I like the AMC blue, almost as much as I like the Pontiac blue for 1969.
This is my 258 that will be replaced soon.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
