One Truck, Two Takes

 

Who would think that these two drawings came from the same photograph?  I did the drawings and I can hardly believe it myself LOL.  I wonder what the photographer @mozarts_ride will think when he sees them?


Here is what @mozarts_ride has to say about his photograph:

I spotted this nice old 1951 Ford F-1 Pickup truck, while driving the back roads of west Texas. "Miss Anne" was resting proudly in her owners front yard, and I was happy to squeeze off a few shots of her. She looks like she could still one day roll down the road again.... 😎,,, Did you know... "The first-generation F-Series was marketed in eight different chassis (based on their GVWR), giving them their model names; the F-1 was the lightest-capacity version with the F-8 as the highest. F-1 through F-3 pickup trucks were offered (forming the basis for panel trucks) and the bare F-3 chassis served as the basis for a parcel delivery truck. The heavier-duty F-4 chassis was produced as a light-duty commercial truck. The F-5 and F-6 were produced as medium-duty trucks in three configurations, a conventional, a COE/cab-over (as the C-Series), and a school bus chassis (as the B-Series, no bodywork rear of the firewall). The F-7 and F-8 were heavy-duty commercial trucks, marketed under the "Big Job" brand name from 1951." (Wikipedia, "Ford F-Series (first generation")... Now you know the rest of the story...
