Man, someone has to save it! I bet $300 would take it, that's how much he'd get for scrap. I wish this kind of stuff would show up in my area, it wouldn't last a day.

Exactly!! If it were close I'd buy it for three reasons. 1: to save it from the crusher, 2: to get the M.Y. truck I would like to have(what's one more, right?), and 3: I need a wrecker for moving all the trucks I already have.

Would be nice to save it and change that dog ugly grille out for a '40 model of course you'd have to change the fenders too.

If one of my trucks ran, I'd be on my way to it!

Believe me, that guy has no intention of sending it to the crusher. Just a marketing ploy.

See, what you Rust Belters don't realize is that trucks like this are laying around on every corner out here; rust free, low mileage, and cheap. We can't buy 'em all! I must pass a dozen or so every day on the way to work. There are good crack-free flatheads out on the curb every garbage day, too!
