Looks like it may have been an old Swann's truck - or meat hauler maybe? Cool nonetheless. Sorry for the phone pics.

I like big trucks- that one is neat.

Sweet. I like how those low- res phone pics turned out. They almost look like paintings.

Next time I'm down that way - between Brownwood and Stephenville TX (HWY 377) - I'll stop and check that out, and see if it's for sale. When I stopped to take these pics noone was around. It was right off the highway.

I've seen it several times over the last year or so.

Enquriing minds want to know (about the 'is it for sale')

Nice truck, nice pics, nice find.

Thanks.

Neat truck. Hopefully it'll be rescued some day.

There is a county line liquor store right next to it - and I believe the number is 254-445-2700. Just ask about the big old truck in the field next to them and they should be able to get you the number of the owner.

If anyone is interested in buying it.

This should be where it is at:
