Another AD saved
Driving the backroads one day my dad spotted this pickup in an A&S metals dumpster. It looked too good to get recycled so we tracked down the owner who said it was mine if I wanted it. Unfortunately the only way to get it out was the same way it went in; with a forklift. Surprisingly it held together, but the door frame needs some persuading to get back into shape. Its pretty rusty for a California truck, but otherwise it's all there. I'm currently in college so it'll continue to sit at my dad's ranch for a while, but hopefully I'll start on it this summer and start a slow build thread on it.

Re: Another AD saved
That is awesome. Good save.
If the tosp of your doors are really messed up, I have some that can be used for patches. You can have them if you pay for the ride.

Re: Another AD saved
It was lifted out by putting the forks through the cab?

Yeah I'm surprised it didn't cause a whole lot of damage but it did tweak the door and dent the roof a little bit. Quote:
