Hard to tell, but it appears to be a 3-door? with 6 sets of door glass? Why would you do it that way?? Is it a school bus? The original "short bus"?!

Naturally, all 3 door handles are sagging...

Please, pull it out of there and restore this!!

Looks like some sort of bed on the back and check out the Front Bumper or Ram.

Either shoot it or fix it up, don't just let it sit there.

Yeah, that's what I thought too. It's got to be an oil field crew truck, railroad, or something similar. What I want to know is whether it's been pulled out of them weeds and is being redone by somebody. That rascal needs to be saved.

This is sitting on some family property. Unfortunately not my family. They dont want to do anything with all of the treasures yet... It has 3 working doors with the middle and right rear sections welded solid. Three sets of seats with a large work bed on back. I do want to get it out of the sticks. Fortunately it hasnt been molested and no rust issues. All there complete. I am thinking its an oil crew truck. They are plenty of other unique treasures on the property too. It used to be a wrecking yard up until 40 years ago. In one of the buildings I found a whole stack of car titles from the 1920-30's. This family also has a parts house with auto repair thats been closed down for 40+ years. Still has all the inventory and machinery sitting since the doors closed. There is even a very early model Airstream trailer sitting not too far from this truck. I have the patience and way to haul off all this stuff along with a place to store it. Just have to be ready when the opportunity presents itself. Saying my prayers...I have a pic of something I couldnt identify if someone is up to the challange.
