You're right Adam, I've corrected my post to reflect the origins of the pics. It's just copyright courtesy to name the owner of the pic, if it's not yours .. unless it's a public domain pic.

I dunno how he gets 99% original? The tray would comprise more than 1% of the truck, wouldn't it? There's lots of other things been replaced, too, I'll wager?
It looks like the running boards and exhaust system have been replaced. I'd reckon the tyres probably weren't original, and I wonder how often the motor, cooling system, tranny, or rear axle components have been rebuilt/replaced?
People have a neat habit of forgetting all about the major repairs/replacements that have taken place. 100 years is a lon-n-ng time to have ALL original components!

My father-in-law is 96 and apart from the pacemaker and the teeth the rest is ALL original components!

Definitely 99% original.

I agree,

I've got the oldest axe in the world.

It is 600 years old and totally original except it has had six new handles and five new heads!!

(Joke)

I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,

Now I find I can't do any work in this position!

Here is my truck not the oldest but possibly one of the most original as proved by standard bores, engine big end knocks and cast iron brake shoes acting directly on steel drums which have not been replaced with linings. and known history.
800 miles last year with many, many problems but always got home without assistance.
Its speed took many by surprise at this events road run.
Any one got any spares?
