My wife showed this to me today. Could be a fun project. You might need to sharpen up the chain saw though.

I had to cut down some small trees with a cordless sawzall to get my truck out from where it was sitting since 1968. It had two trees growing in the back. One of them (white birch) is sprouting again and already is almost 3' tall.
I will carefully remove the root system from the mess in the bed and plant it in my backyard.....it's trying so hard to survive I'll give it some help.

Looks like a 1941 or so Dodge, so I would guess it has been there since 1942 give or take a bit
