As for price, he may have cruised CL, found a lot of hacked-up crappy trucks

I like it and ya never know...it may or may not have a bunch of rust.
For that matter, who here should care considering the majority of our project
trucks end up with new bodies by the end of the restoration journey.

After 15 years, that's really not a lot of exterior dirt & moss for this region
(trucks rot from the top down here and frames are generally nice.
As for the engine, there's always the chance that the mileage is right and
with fresh fuel, battery, oil and TLC, that may be fine as well.

I see the interior is quite clean, the body panels appear nice and straight,
and, as the poster says, she's quite complete plus we see a lot of cool
vintage add-ons including the canopy.

All that said, when parked, it was obviously a very nice truck and has the
added advantage of having not spent it's life in the rust belt. Many, many
trucks that look like this can present a pleasant surprise.

My 2¢

And, yes, maybe I'll just go look at it just for the ducks of it!

Why do ya think my truck got its name SwampRat?? Wish i could meet you guys out there.

[DGulliver]

I like it too, always up for a challenge. I bet if I could get it home on a Friday, I could be tagging it on Monday over at the courthouse. Y'all wouldn't even recognize it! Lol

Yup!

The lady that owns the truck has offered it up if it can be towed immediately.
She wanted me down there today with a trailer.

I can't...I don't have the $ nor a trailer. I do have storage at my shop, though.
PM me for her private cell number.

My biggest problem, no trailer and my truck is in semi disrepair.

Sounds like me.
The trailer problem is easy enough, I rent to a friend with a tow truck and he can dolly it for a
couple hundred bucks ... but don't have the cash for another truck. Pitty. I'd love to have a 4x4.

She assures me the title is in her name and is nearly hysterical about getting it out of there.

Probably closed for (extensive) editing and then re-opened.

... whatever keeps the peace and prevents bashing.

[ETsC10]

I just got the following email today in my private email box, from the lady that owns this truck

What a pitty............:

I'm sorry Ellen, my uncle, Wayne H*****, was living on the streets of Ca. He moved in
with my mom, she has bad dementia, he scrapped the truck for 100 dollars.

* the rest of the email edited out to preserve Vicky's privacy*

It's so sad what some families go through with each other.

[swamp rat]

Well, hopefully if it was scrapped it went to a wrecking yard and the bumper/wench will come up for sale somewhere.

I think if he is a threat and basically stole the truck that is in her name then she should be talking to the cops about it to try and get it back. I kinda think its a dysfunctional family.

[ETsC10]

Sounds like, considering the type of person her Uncle probably is, he got a lot of money and told her $100.

I'll post a thread in the stolen forum if this isn't resolved by tomorrow.

[special-K]

$100 dollars my butt!

[Ol Blue K20]

This sucks....I guess no vacation in Washington....I'm not buying the bucks story either

[Carl Spangler]

Are there more of these 'backyard finds' popping up now than ever???

cheers

[tommys72]

How did this go from a few pics that we had a little fun with to a dysfunctional family now and a stolen truck that was scrapped for a hundred bucks supposedly?

[ETsC10]

The latest email from Vicky:

"Ellen, thanks, for the info, i will follow up on it, my uncle's name is Wayne Ryan Honeycutt, DOB is Jan. 9th, 1956. He is 58 and from from Yuba city/Mayrsville area, Ca. I ran a background check on him on line last night but got stopped when they asked for money. He is now driving my mother's new SUV and im pretty sure he does not have a driver's license. Bad thing is he has titles to MY polaris wetbike, quad, and to mom's SUV and her new 18 foot camper. I need help stopping him this has gotten way out of control. I would have given you the chevy if it had stopped my uncle from stealing it from my mom. "

She has talked to the police on the matter. What a mess.

[mgkgmc]

Pretty crazy hope this all gets sorted out.

[Ol Blue K20]

Sounds bad....I hope it gets under control.
