Fertility From Truck To Tree...... By Reid Callaway
1954 Chevrolet Flatbed Truck.....No Photoshoping here!
For my old rusty truck fans here is a really special find for me. I was talking with one of my former County Commissioners Pep Stone, who is one of the most interesting men in Greene County, the other day about a truck I had heard was on his property. Someone had seen my work with rusty trucks/cars and told me Pep had a truck with a 15 inch tree growing out of the hood where the motor had been.... because the truck had been there for so long.
Pep's Story....
The truck was purchased by Mr. T A Wilson for the Greensboro Ice Company from Nipper Chevrolet Company in 1954. Shuck Brown drove this ice truck for years all over Greene County delivering block ice. He drove the truck until Mr. Wilson died. Some may remember Mr Wilson lost his arm in a hay baler accident. After Mr Wilson's death they parked the old ice truck over behind the old ice plant in Greensboro. Pep Stone spotted it one day and went to Greene Supply Company, Mr Allen Haywood, a dear friend of his and asked if he could have it. Not knowing at the time that it didn't have a motor nor a transmission in it. But after he gave it to him he didn't have the heart to give it back to him. Pep had Richard Moon take his wrecker over there and put one tire on one side and one on the other side and hauled it to the spot where you see it sitting today. Richard unhooked there and it has been there ever since that day. The tree grew up thru where the motor and transmission had once been. The truck is older than the tree.
