I just got an abandoned iron 2007 calendar in the mail that I ordered. The pictures on it aren't as interesting, nor as artistic, as this fellow's work. Great site. Stu

I like looking at old iron. Like Ross said, "Sad too", I agree but it's kind of fun thinking about what the last use of the old truck might have been, why it might have been abandoned and what other stories that might have happened with it. Once in a while there is a total wreck on uPay that isn't worth more than the picture (Well, more than once in a while) but I like to collect the pictures. Here is one I use for my desktop on my computer:



Here are few more I have collected:

Cool, Bob. Thanks. I really liked the "yard art" in the snow.

My trucks have been unofficially retired to the abandoned iron class.

The last truck in Bob's pictures looks to have an absolutely mint grille.

I've posted this picture before. All three trucks were for sale for $1500 total some time ago on the local CL. I should have bought them, but no money, nor the space to store them at the time.

Great stuff!

I've stumbled onto that site before but managed to lose the link (I'll save it again)

Oh I agree. Very cool but sad. Beautiful pic of that one in the snow. My family knows when I start braking hard to stop all of the sudden, it's usually a truck in the weeds.
