    ' TF ' is short for the Task Force series of trucks GM made after stopping the AD series...

    They're pretty good old trucks and share most running gear but have wider cabs , wrap around " dog Leg " windshields , really good ventilation and on and on....

    Hell , they even spoiled Farmers by giving them TWO taillights ! :rolleyes:

    You can actually fit three full sized adults in the seat , no kidding .

    I considered buying one but they're too wide to fit through my narrow 1923 gate....

    I went through you tube one night looking for classic truck commercials.

    Some really neat old time videos.

    74 Days---so far

    I've had mine a year now. 74 actual work days--some long--some not. Still a long way to go.
