I see it as as a waste of good parts,
if not a waste of a truck.

That would make a cool weather vane. Maybe too big? Scale it down with baby buggy wheels. You should start a bbq joint and call it Willowbilly's Grille. How about actually using a beat up grille for the grille? Nice collection!

I once did a yard art for bro & sister n' law they are right into that stuff.
Used a jeep grille inserted stove pipe elbows on the headlight holes capped the bottoms of em' filled em' with soil and put flower seeds in.
They just went nuts for it, took it home and i never did see the final results as they live 400 miles from here, have to ask for em if they gotta pic of it.

There was a couple of guys around the Trumansburg, NY area who would weld/make different "critters" from old farm machinery parts. One concentrated on the pre-historic.
