Happy Truck Thursday!
This baby parked next to us at a bar (go figure) in Packwood, eye popper for sure. Can't speak to the fuel mileage, but I bet it scoots. :-) If you like shtuff like this, check out Christie's Files, I thought of her when I took it.
This good looking plum flamed 1934 Ford Coupe was front and center in my camera frame at the 2022 Ol' Marais River Run car show in Olathe Kansas.

"What is a RestoMod?
Resto - Mod. This word has different meanings to different people, but to me it means simply Restored and Modified to be better than new. Well what does that mean? Let's break it down.
Dictionary.com defines restoration as "a return of something to a former, original, normal, or unimpaired condition." The same website also defines modify as "to change somewhat the form or qualities of; alter partially; amend."
So in the interest of the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) principle, I classify a restomod as any car that has been restored (ie still has authentic vintage parts that have been restored) and modified (could be simple as power steering & brakes or as much as a new drivetrain, airbags, AC, sound system, ricaro seats and a nitrous kit).
Some folks think a RestoMod has to be a hot rod, or a rat rod, or a pro touring, or a pro street. Those terms all mean something different to most of the people that use them, so I won't get too much into it here. No matter your vocabulary, you have to admit - these cars are awesome."

Fifty years ago you would have seen several of these on every high school parking lot in Southern California. They were just another twenty year old car (though a desirable one) then, ideal for the teenagers first vehicle. Today it's usually just about impossible to tell the kid's cars from those of the faculty.
