Mt. Zion resident Jim Hicks said he bought his 1952 Ford truck from a Roane County man in 2004, after he discovered it parked in a shed. "I worked on it myself and it's in pretty good shape," he said. "I'm the second owner."

Hicks said he was driving it about every day. "Runs like a sewing machine." He kept it going until he passed away.
