Default What a find....what a shame.....

So much rust...... if it was not for the paint the cab would collapse.

That being said it is a very good complete model to work from.

I have only seen rusted truck likes this in Eastern Canada when exposed to road salt or vehicle stored near the coast subject to sea salt spray.

"CLEARED FROM PROPERTY TODAY", probably the property was cleared as well as it wasn't giving much protection to the poor Chev.

This no doubt was once a much-loved truck!

Hi, This machine is only 25 miles from me, a worth while investment?. See if I can get a snap shot of that barn.

Well, if it came from the army like that it might be a good candidate for restoration exactly as it is, 'wrong' body and all.

No arguing with that paintjob, is there?

Bob, that's called "in peeling paint condition"

That rear body isn't original to the truck, so all you basically have is a chassis?
