Albert Mroz & Vintage Truck Magazine

One other point I would like to make about Harvey's write up in Vintage Truck
written by Albert Mroz. This gentlemen Al Mroz I found out through the maginzine has passed
away. :(
Al had written many books and articles on the subject of Trucks, various
types and models over the years , he was a fine gentlemen and well respected
for his work.
I visited with Al on many occasions as he lived in my town.
The write for Us was very nice indeed but, his work goes well beyond
what he did for my Son and I on that fine day..

He will be missed.

Albert Mroz - Author and Historian for old trucks.. RIP

Re: 1955 R-112

Built  this bed crown and other wood enhancements for our old truck.   
Wood is tank redwood brass hardware copper and aluminum for final assembly,

Enjoyable project that my son and I did over a few  summers years back,


Thought I would share.  The crown corner connection at the cab is one of a kind
as far as joinery goes. A head scratcher for conversation over the years due to the blind double 
stake corner connection.  Fun stuff ! 

I love a challenge to do something out of the ordinary plus plus my young son learned from it. 
hard to beat that !

Be safe

Image
The flag pole is redwood as well with silver tooled top &  Eagle cap,
and course it is lit a night, :)


Image
Image
The tailgate and bed floor is made of green washed hardwood..
Copper inlays and subtle hand painting as a final touch..  

Wood is good!
Thanks for looking !
