Pics of your trucks when you found them

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.

Re: Pics of your trucks when you found them
Took this pic when I was 5 years old, im almost 35 now. I played in it when i was a kid then dad gave it to me when i was 11. Started workin on it then and drove it when I was in HS and tore it down in 95 and got it as you see it in avatar in 2000. The pic in my avatar is same truck bout a year ago taken in almost same location behind the old barn.

Re: Pics of your trucks when you found them

No motor, no trans 1/2T
Has motor, has trans and now, effectively, a one ton.

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

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.
