Description
A while back I delivered a load of cement to a place in Wheatland, Wyoming and this ol' 1930's International dump truck was sitting there staring at me and just begging to be photographed. I'm not one to disappoint a willing subject, so a photo session ensued while I was unloading. There wasn't many good angles where the background was sort of clean except for this one and maybe some close up shots. This is the best of the shots, I believe and I saw this scene in black and white while shooting it. Hopefully, with some new knowledge I picked up recently I did the ol' girl justice with the conversion. I believe it still runs and the folks who own it still use it sometimes--which I think is pretty damn cool

I love this photo... I hope you don't mind that I used it as a stock image for a picture I put my neice in. You can view it @ www.facebook.com/pictureperfect.photography.caseymcmillian. It this is not ok, Please let me know and I will be happy to remove it. I left the writing in the bottom of the picture but was not sure how to credit you for the picture. If it's ok that i used it, if you will tell me how to credit you I will be happy to do that. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work.

Well, I appreciate that you like it. Thank you.Β I don't mind all that much that you used itΒ but would appreciate someone asking before they go ahead andΒ use one of my photos and especially for anything offsite.Β There's no need to credit me--I don't have a FaceBook page--unless somehow the combination of an old truck and your niece is generating millions of dollars...then I would espect not only a credit but royalties!
No problem this time.Β Just ask first should there be a next timeΒ

Wait...this thing is still working and still in use? I bet finding spare parts must be...problematic.

Yup. Still working. Parts for these aren't that hard to find really. International Harvester still makes parts and many aftermarket companies can either get them or make them. That's not to say one can just go buy parts off the shelf--most likely they would have to be ordered.

That is fascinating. We don't see many cars here in Germany that are older than 50-60 years. Oltimers from the 1950-60s can be found everywhere but everything older is really rare. Not many cars survived WWII. A truck from the 30's? Outside a museum? Impossible! They were either destroyed during the war, stripped for spare parts or the Sovjets took them. And then they stripped them for spare parts and destroyed them, huhu...

It turned out to be a stormy day after I shot this ol truck, but the storms were east of me by the time they formed 
Thank you Lois
