1950 Customized International Harvester L-Series pick-up on E Washington













These photos were taken around 2010 or so.  The owner and his wife operated an antique store on Washington in space now occupied by Brownsville Arts & Music.  This was the mule they used to haul all that great antique junk they sold out of that place.  I think it has since been sold.
