That is pretty cool. I wonder if it is running or just parked on the side of some railway station somewhere. Do you know?

There's a guy about 30 miles from me who has one like that, in pretty decent condition. I saw it one day and stopped in to take a look at it. The guy told me he got if for free in some kind a deal. I asked what he was going to do with it and he told me he was really a Ch**y guy and was just going to park it in his yard and let it rot into the ground. He also had a fairly decent '36 Ford flatbed truck sitting out back just rotting away. He got in the '36 and it kicked it right over. He said he believed truck and cars were better left to rot away than to fix up. I drive pass his house a couple of times a years and just watch the trucks rust away.

I'd find out what kind of Chevy he likes and offer to trade for the '36. If he won't deal on the '36, let the Chevy rot in plain view, and defile it at every opportunity

Why go through the trouble of it rotting in his yard, instead of a scrapyard?

I wish I had a truck like that, too! Think of the camper possbilities.
