I thought I would put some pics up just for fun and also am bored.

Would most of you consider this too far gone and walk away? Floors seem solid, but rockers etc are needing work. It is now in a shed. I guess I kinda feel like these old trucks and cars are disappearing fast especially in original shape. I try to grab them when I find them so that maybe my son and I will have a project.

We also grabbed this at the same place even though I know it is not in the same interest group. My daughter claimed it.

Re: 1975 Jaws Blazer

A full-vert with good floors but soft rockers is definitely worth saving in my book. Several years ago someone made a replica of the Jaws Blazer to sell. It appeared to be mint and had all the details the movie truck did. If I remember right, it even had a replica of Chief Brody's police ID on the console or hanging on the rear view. It might be worth looking up for inspiration. Nice score on both counts.

I saw that. It looks awesome but the jaws blazer does look to be more yellow. Maybe the lighting.
