4/4/12 Update: We have found a home for our lovely truck! Thanks to everyone who responded, we were literally brought to tears by the responses we got. It is humbling and inspiring to hear that so many people are starting on the path of sustainable agriculture.
Original Post: We have a great truck that we don’t need anymore, and instead of selling it on craigslist, we would like to give it away to a young/ aspiring farmer in the area. It is a 1962 International pick up truck with wood box built into the bed, which is 6in longer than most standard pickup beds. It’s a great farmers market truck, and it runs great. Has a straight 6 with overhead cams. Transmission is a three on the tree with overdrive. We would like to find someone who could genuinely use this truck for agricultural purposes, and who would be willing to put in a bit of *sweat equity* to fix it up a bit, then drive it home. It only needs minor work such as cleaning, a tune up, new muffler, paint, and the clutch needs to be adjusted. It was our first farmers Market truck and it is a glorious vehicle.
So who wants it?
My husband and I would love this truck if it is still available. We have started our farm in Templeton and are hoping to be selling at Farmers within the next year or two. Please contact me as we would love to meet you discuss your farming methods whether you still have the truck or not.Thanks, AmyRosiegirl2002@hotmail.com
