New 1952 truck

Post by stacey »

I just bought this last month out of a farmers field. Parked for the last 20 years.

Looks like a very good starting point. Hard to find bits still there and patterns for the wood and straps.

Congrats. Looks good for twenty years of exposure. Plenty to work with there.

stacey,
Looks fresh out of the desert, sunbleached, but rust free. From the photos the truck appears to be relatively complete. Any idea why it was parked?

This truck was surplussed to a local county. I do not think it was ever used just parked in a field and left. The truck is missing a starter that I have since found .
