My first truck, Old Dobin (Dobin was the name of my Grandpa Ben's last Dodge), a 1953 Dodge 1/2 ton. I bought it from my Friend's Dad, John Hornidge.

It had over 300,000. miles. In Fullerton High School's Auto Shop, 1969, I tried to rebuild the engine, new main bearings and a .060" out of round crankshaft it never ran again.

As with many of my autos I

had no photos of them so I made a drawing of Old Dobin.
