One man from Portland, Maine proves that truck restoration is not necessarily only a young person’s game.

Jim Hall, 80, continues working on trucks at his Dirigo Restoration, and recently talked with wcsh6.com about his current project, a 1938 FK Mack concrete truck he thinks had been sitting idle for about 20 years before he got hold of it.

Once completed, the truck will go on display at Owls Head Transportation Museum in Owls Head, Maine. Other trucks Hall has restored are at The Bickford Collection in Yarmouth, Maine.
