Well somehow i ended up with photos of it. I swear they were from a for sale website.

Frankly i kinda dig the mad max thing it had going on with the chicken wire, but it's certainly prettier with a grille

If that is chicken wire, I would hate to see the size of the chicken! It looks more like metal lath they used for plastering walls.

It looks much nicer with the correct grille. And that one fits your patina nicely.

I agree. The monkey face has a much prettier smile with the right grille.

I'm with you, Steve. I could swear I saw it on craigslist just before pezsox showed up here with it. I think it was because it was from the neighborhood.

That is crazy. So I found this truck in Mabton, WA. I knocked on the door almost weekly and was told the owner lived in California. So finally I was lucky to catch him there one day, went and grabbed cash after talking him into it, and towed it home. It had the title from the 60’s. If was owned by an older gentleman, whose dad owned it. I’m guessing someone may have put it on Craigslist and may have planned to just take it from his yard, they definitely weren’t Craigslist savvy. It was with other vehicles so I’m assuming someone saw a cash grab. Where are you guys from? I’m in Yakima.
