Yet Another Project Opportunity

So, I saw this beauty while doing my regular C/L scrolling. A couple of observations:

https://wausau.craigslist.org/pts/d/...237240006.html




A bed on a F-5? This a first for me.
I can't place the rear fenders - anyone?
Hey, its a blue truck!
Would this truck have a hoist?
Jim, this must be one of your neighbors.

Ahh, thanks Fred. It has almost a cartoonish look to it.

Hey Duane. You are right. Deerbrook is my mailing address. It's not really a town though anymore--not even a post office or a bar. The truck must be within 5 miles from my house though, but I never saw it. I'd be happy to call and check it out for someone. Just let me know. I can just imagine what my wife would say if I dragged something like that home! There would be precious little Christmas cheer in our home this year, I can tell you that.

Jim

You can sell the Chevy bed and fenders to recoup some of your expenses.

You guys got me all wrong. I'm an enabler not the enablee.

The plow lift on the front and the cab rot suggests this beast saw some hard winter duty. I'm not optimistic about what would be found with a closer inspection. This one may be destined for a slow, quiet rust where it sits.

Duane, it's time to become the enabled.

If nothing else it would make good yard art, I'd bet your neighbors would love this looking at them from the middle of your front yard. You cold put it on a bed of mulch and decorate it for the seasons.

If I was going to plop a rusty anything in the front yard - as a newly unmarried man - it would need to be way cooler than that sad relic. I'm not sure the truck would make it off the trailer intact.

Now, if were red, or cow pasture green, or had a picture of Bob's cat on the door....
