Re: Pics of your trucks when you found them

It had been sitting for over 5 years in a body shop parking lot, 283 actually cranked after a little oiling. I was afraid that the body shop owner was going to want a little cash for storage, he didn't want cash just a 12 pack of Moosehead beer, so I bought him a case.

No motor, no trans 1/2T

Re: Pics of your trucks when you found them

no pictures of it sitting in the field but here it is right after i brought it home. it's down to a bare cab waiting for me to get my mig welder bought and start patching. Owner ran it out of oil back in 78/79 and parked it in his row of crap. he's also got a 1947 indian military bike with side car in his barn

Mine on the day I first saw it. It had sat for 6 years after the PO had a heart attack. The blue truck in my avatar is the same truck.

Re: Pics of your trucks when you found them

This is what my burb looked like when my Dad gave it to me.
He let it basically rot in an avocado orchard for years.
