For those of you in Canada, sometime in the new year my 53 Flat Fender will be on CTV's Saturday Noon show: Prairie Farm Report.
About a month ago they phoned and came to my place to film. They were here for about 4 hrs filming some static shots, and then quite a few driving. I took them through some of my pasture land. Drove over some 15 ft willows, and then drove through an old slough area, with them filming from inside outside and over the cab looking down at the hood. Then they filmed it driving up a very steep hill idleing up it in low low. They were quite surprised to see me use the truck this hard, as they usually have someone with a restored truck just idle around on paved roads. Shots of the truck should be great, the audio and pictures of me talking about it will be less than steller, as your intelligence seems fade as the camera starts running. When I asked if the camera adds 10 pounds they said they could do 15 if I wanted.
A couple of pictures of the 53 are on my website under 50's
I will let this you guys know when it is to be on the air. As they are to let me know sometime before it is on.
