I was wondering who has the oldest truck here that is still on the road working. Picturs would be great. Has the fuel mpg increasted over the years with all the electronic crap?

Well, in Ca. around Fresno, for instance, you'll see a lot of 60's models that belong to farmers that haul hay or their produce pretty much local. I once worked for a bottom dump outfit in Fontana that bought 6 sets of bottom dumps from a farmer in Stockton that had them sitting in his field for years. They were in good shape and were 40 years old!
