Re: What's the coolest/most interesting thing you've found in your truck
So far just a chuck key in the duct system. Still need to remove the bench seat. At worst I see my jack equipment for the first time in centuries, and likely the build sheet for the first time. At best I find those, the pieces for the bench slide adjustment, and some other very cool stuff I couldn't imagine. It's a mess down there.
Yikes, that's definitely a snake.

Hard to say -
    I was afraid I was going to find a firearm in there. K

I meant being surprised by one during a routine traffic stop as I was delivering the truck from Montana to Michigan. That could be awkward. Otherwise - not a problem. I did get a couple .22 caliber rifles from my Father-in-law (the interim owner of the truck) when he passed. K

Sorry about your father-in-law but I hope you make good use of the .22's. I used to burn through about 500 rounds per week of .22 LR when I was a teenager and I carried a .22 mouse gun for years. |

Re: What's the coolest/most interesting thing you've found in your truck
I found that only the bottom of my rear shocks where bolted on, and the tops had been cut off after I bought my truck and drove it across the state. The only thing that was holding them up was the pressure and rust from the bolt.

Re: What's the coolest/most interesting thing you've found in your truck
Only thing I ever found was rust... and I don't find rust cool or interesting...

Re: What's the coolest/most interesting thing you've found in your truck
I found a ticket stub from a record store under the original dash of my 1970 CST. MIght have been intentional, might have been used as a spacer...

Was this hole normal? Factory? Or did a lot of these trucks at some point probably have a CB antenna drilled right through the roof? That was my first guess. |

Re: What's the coolest/most interesting thing you've found in your truck
It's not TOO crazy but I thought it was a pretty cool find. The original Owners Manual and Owner Protection Plan that has the guys signature and date for the original purchase

I took the tank out and found a nasty picture of the previous owner with my ex-wife.

My buddy bought a 57 Caddy out of a guys field, when we finally got the trunk open there was a 2x4 barrel intake with carbs (sorry no air cleaner) to fit the caddy motor in the car, it currently had a single 4 barrel intake and we assumed somewhere along the years it was swapped it for fuel mileage purposes. Also among all the trash in the trunk was an envelope with several old very faded polaroid pics of a naked gal doing various poses, in, on and next to that what we assumed was that very same car, it looked like they were taken near/by a river somewhere.

Re: What's the coolest/most interesting thing you've found in your truck
Just finished removing the last hardware from the in cab gas tank in my 69, as I broke the tank lose from the floor a couple bees came from behind and started flying around in the cab. Seconds later a couple turned into 10 and “oh s#%!”
Dropped the gas tank, jumped out and slammed the door shut! Within five minutes the inside of the cab looked like a shaken and snow globe of bees! That wasn’t very cool but it sure got my attention! Steve weim55 Colorado |
