Americana
 

I usually reside in the 67-72 area but I thought you guys would appreciate this.
This truck has been sitting in the exact place for over 20 years so I thought I'd share it. It's current home is in the dry Mojave desert so I'm pretty certain it has no real rust to speak of. It also looks like it's in great shape. If you look close, you'll see another one.

I'll bet the guys in the east would love to find one as nice as that 51.

Re: Americana
 

Are you sure he doesn't still use it for stacking the hay! Nice patina, shorten the boom and you have a vintage tow truck. If you can see it from the road I'd bet its just like the ones I stop and look at; not for sale or outrageous price. I've quit asking if you can see it from the street or public road.

The crane might be still in use but the truck hasn't moved.
I'm sure I'm not the first Chevy guy to spot it. That said, He probably plans to be buried in it.

I live in the mojave - where is it?

Re: Americana
 

14 So. to ave I Lancaster, West to Lake Hughes Rd. 300 ft past Lake Huges Rd. North West corner.

Re: Americana
 

With no weeds growing under it, not a lot of dust on it and the fact that it is sitting next to hay stacks with a stacking crane on it I'd think it still gets used. Those bale slingers are dangerous as all get out though.

Re: Americana
 

That's a neat pic. The tires are still pumped up so I'd guess that he moves it around some.
That boom is tall, I bet the truck rocks when he swings it.

Re: Americana
 

Im betting it still gets used otherwise the tires would be flat by now..

No WAY! Maybe I should look WEST for a change - but I'm always drooling over the In-n-Out exit looking East.... In fact I was there today! Thanks, that must be over toward the dog pund - awesome, I am gonna go look sometime soon.

Is it a 3100 or 3600 - looks like a 3100 to me (don't all the 3/4 ton 3600's have the extra stake pocket fwd of the rear wheel well?)
