Sounds just like what I had as a kid- got a job on the farm next to ours when I was 13. The farms were back to back but still quite a walk, and I needed something to go from field to field to change irrigation pipes (he had 5 40's in a row).

Great old truck- I remember learning to heel and toe the accelerator and starter pedals when starting it.
Back roads were all gravel in those days, and deputies didn't like to patrol them because of the dust- so the rule was, I could drive anywhere, as long as road was not paved.
My pet peeve is not so much "hot rodding" them- at least then, they're still on the road- but rather the guys who let them sit outside for 30 years until there's nothing left, because "someday I'm gonna fix it up." Then, it goes to the crusher after he dies.
