I finally drove my 31 Ford Model AA Dump Truck into Shepherdstown, West Virginia. I got plenty of smiles starring at the truck especially when I hit the horn.
I have to give special thanks to my friends.
First: Earl Fitzgerald of Sturgis Hauling & Restoration, Bethlehem, Conn. He came to down to visit and he fixed my starter and tweaked my carburetor to make run nice.
Second: Doug Jones for fixing my tail lights and getting the chance to ride and drive in Shepherdstown.
As we all know; it helps to have 2 guys working on the truck and sharing old truck knowledge.
These pictures were taken at the Shepherdstown's Train Station next to the Norfolk Southern Line.

Re: Driving my truck into town!
Thank you all for your kind remarks
It’s an older restoration about 20 years ago. It’s what I call a “15 feet stand back” appearance. Some bubble rust is starting to show but still in good shape and fun to drive. That’s all it matters.
What’s weird is that I’m not a fan of the white walls but my wife loves the white walls. When people see it; most of them remark how they like the white walls. Tires are like new. So I’m slow & low pimp’n with my white walls.

Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac
Gangster whitewalls TV antenna in the back
You may not have a car at all
But just remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful for what you've got
Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac
Diamonds in the back
sunroof top
diggin' the scene
With the gasoline
gangster whitewalls
TV antenna in the back
You may not have a car at all
But just remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful for what you've got
Diamonds in the back
sunroof top

ooh ooh ooh
