Rides IX: Joey Tucker 1951 Chevy Ton-&-a Half at Bread of Life The old truck was discovered in a field near Fredricktown, bought on the spot, freed from a captive sapling, and is now in Casey County where it is being repurposed as a sign for a unique new store set to open in mid-August. By Ed Waggener Joey Tucker, assistant manager at the Bread of Life Restaurant, now allows his wonderful old 1955 flatbed truck, with the timber grown up through it's bumper to be a conversation piece at the famous restaurant run by the Gallilean Home. Soon the vehicle will be the symbol for new business Joey is starting on KY 910. Of course there's a story behind how the timber got there. Joey and his wife, Michelle, were going to an event in Bardstown when he found it. His eye glanced more than once along the roadside as he was passing through Fredericktown. His wife noticed his interest and said, "You want that truck, don't you"? and as he acknowledged it, she said, "why don't we drive back and see about it." He found that the truck was owned by a farmer who wasn't averse to selling it. The truck had been used at one time to haul cattle, had been retired from that use, and the farmer had parked it in a field. A sapling grew up through the bumper and to remove it, Joey had to use a chain saw and cut off the top, cut away the stump, and then pull the truck away with a rollback. After he got it back to Casey County, he did only modest renovation. There's a bit of spot painting - not enough to ruin the trucks character, and he fashioned a wood flatbed from some treated lumber he bought at a building supply store.. For now, diners at the Bread of Life get to examine the truck, but in a short time, Joey will move the truck to KY 910, next door to the new Casey County Discount Location, where it will serve as a sign for a new business he will personally own, "Rusty Joe's/*Antiques*Gifts*Amish Hickory*". He'll continue to work at the Bread of Life he said, and the full time new business will be operated by his wife, who "retired" after 20 years as a teacher at the Galillean Home. Rusty Joe's is set to open in mid-August. This story was posted on 2016-07-29 07:03:26
