My 1952 Chevy 2 Ton Platform. Purchased locally and drove it that Fall. Loved this truck but unfortunately it had to go up for sale. I believe it now resides somewhere in Maine.

Great old Chev.
My father had a 1952 2 ton on the farm as a grain hauler.
I remember it started with a push button on the floorboards after pushing in the clutch. 1952 was the first year of the outer door handles having the push button as opposed to the previous turn down style.
The pix can be a prob. Take them down one at a time at edit them. In edit mode I just cut off an edge, then load it and it should be right way up.
I rotate the photo/s to correct position, but when it saves on here they take in the wrong positions.
sambo42xa, Doing what vetraio50 suggests (trimming the problem photos) usually fixes the problem. CW S&T software doesn't always play nicely with photographs taken on smartphones or tablets.
Here is some technical explanation of why photos taken by mobile devices sometimes become rotated:

OK, for sambo42xa or anybody else who is morbidly curious about the long-standing photo rotation problem on Collectors Weekly Show & Tell: I found another article about image rotation that offered a simpler way (for me, anyway) to check image orientation:

I took four photos with my phone camera.
The first photo was taken with the phone in the 'normal' postion. That is, vertical (OK, please no arguments about what is normal).
For the subsequent three photos, I rotated the phone 90 degrees clockwise for each one (for photo two the phone was horizontal, photo three the phone was upside down, and photo four the phone was horizontal).
Then I transferred copies of the photos my Windows hybrid via USB cable.
I installed IrfanView on my Windows hybrid, and looked at the EXIF information for the photos. It does show that the camera is keeping track of how you hold it.
Dunno about anybody else, but how I hold my camera when taking a picture varies depending on circumstances.
Is this what keeps flummoxing the Collectors Weekly Show & Tell software? *shrug*
I appreciate the explanation, but I do not know what "trimming" is nor do I know the "CW S&T" software stuff..... I'm still typing with one finger...lol!!
sambo42xa,
That involuntary picture rotation has been a problem here for years, and "trimming" images is a workaround.
"Trimming" consists of using a photo editor (whatever you have on your device) to crop the image. It doesn't matter whether the crop is vertical or horizontal, e.g.:

https://tradexcelgraphics.com/why-do-you-need-to-crop-a-photo/
Neither does it have to be much; the merest sliver should do the trick.
You type any way that gets the job done.
I use all ten of my fingers, but they frequently get me in trouble, because I'm notorious for making mistakes, and we can't edit our comments here. >8-0
