Sorry to butt in, but this seems a good a place as any to post pics of discoveries.

Turned up this crook old Ford. The most interesting thing of note is the pair of 25pdr wheels with 1939 dated tyres, and the moss-covered aircraft tyre fitted to the back with a small tree growing up through the chassis!

Yes, the rust has a good hold on that one. Nice to see a few goodies are still there such as the Ford badge, overflow tank and both doors (assuming they aren't too rusty).

Where is it?

Default odd bolts

Robert

You will find those bolts on most if not all Chrysler built vehicles . I think it refers to: Dodge Plymouth Chysler De Soto DPCD .

Kevin P. Is that him in the pic ?

What an eclectic assortment of markings .. you can see the U.S. blue drab number in there . That truck has been places .
