Dent spotting!
#946
So now that my Dent is actually running and is "street legal" I've been driving it to work every now and again. She really don't like the freeway and so I take the old hwy to work. Much to my surprise I got to see some different sights along the way such as this repair shop that seems to be Dentside and Bumpside central. I should have grabbed some better shots of inside the workshop because there were several old truck in the work bays. I'm going to have to go back and stop for a chat... maybe it's someone on the forum?

Technically these vans do have the same dent running down the side, therefore I say they qualify as dentsides as well haha.

I've got a few odds and ends off of it. The rust is horrible up here. My buddy who works at the yard drove it back there and we romped it around.That sucker ran like no tomorrow, 351 was in good shape. The ground is froze in that picture and you can't tell but it's basically sitting in a swamp on the ice, and it wouldn't think twice about backing right up out of any hole she's sitting in. Tough son of a gun. F250 custom 4x4.
But of course, like anything cool that comes into my yard, it gets screwed up by some thieve kids that have been messing **** up in the yard for years. He tries to tell everybody - if it runs don't touch it. They don't listen. The yard is huge and it's impossible to keep an eye on everything. They stole the Edelbrock carb off of it, and the entire wiring harness. My buddy said they tossed it right under the fence and took off and they were gone. Sad shame. The owner is a good guy just trying to make ends meet.
It is sad. Every time I see a good ol' dent no matter the condition I want to own it. That poor guy has a Flintstone special - the floor in the cab is non existent. The PO rolled it on his farm, the snow is covering up a mostly smashed other half of the cab. And the frame is cracked right next to the rear shock mount on the driver's side. It does have some parts I could potentially need in the future.. and believe me I thought about buying the engine, especially after hearing it run and driving it.
