Our Truck

The Vintage 1950 Ford F2 Tap Truck

Welcome to the home of an extraordinary transformation - the 1950 Ford F2 Tap Truck from a charming Cornfield in the heart of Nebraska. We're here to share the captivating story of how this classic pickup truck was lovingly handcrafted and converted into a mobile beverage service, adding a touch of nostalgia to your events.

 

Our Roots

Our journey begins on a picturesque Cornfield nestled in the scenic landscapes of Nebraska. The beloved Ford F2 was purchased brand new as a vital piece of work equipment on the farm by Rudolf "Rudy" G. Sandin after WWII. 

Rudolf, born in 1900 and began farming in 1909. He farmed mostly corn but has dome cattle and hogs. His father passed away when Rudy was just 16 from Tuberuculosis. Rudy continued farming with the help of his two uncles in order to support his mother and two sisters. He was a gifted machinist who graduated from the Lincoln Auto and Tractor school in 1920. He took extreme care of all of his equipment and had an immense love and respect for steam engines. He operated them for a threshing crew for several years. Needing a relabel farm truck, Rudy turned to the trusty Ford F2 and purchased it brand new. At a point in time he even fabricated a hoist on the back to make light work of heavy items on the farmstead.

As the wheels turned through countless seasons, it bore witness to the changing tides of time and the evolution of farming practices. It transported bundles and bundles of corn to the packing house, played a vital role in family gatherings, and carried the hopes and dreams of generations who cultivated the land.
