What crazy things have you found in YOUR old truck?!
Found this mummified lizard in between the steel panels of the back cab corners. I think he'd been there since the Kennedy administration.

I found a spot that the PO's didn't put bondo on. 
I did find an old proof of ownership paper from Arkansas for an owner from about 35 years ago tucked above the windshield in my '52. I guess it hasn't had a headliner for at least that long.

I found two things: an original appearing Taft for President button. Taft was in office from 1909-1913; the other was a couple of bank deposit slips and a telephone bill from before direct dial.

Crack baggies, used underwear, a sawed-off baseball bat, and like someone else mentioned - a 6" x 6" section that didn't have bondo.
My truck was abandoned in a city parking lot and inhabited occasionally by homeless people for several years.

On January 2, in 2005 I took delivery of a truck I had shipped from Sho-Low AZ. There was a bottle of champagne left over from New Years under the seat of my F350 tow rig, so I decided to toast my new find while waiting a couple hours in the ferry line for the next ferry home. I poured some champagne into a coffee mug and climbed up onto the trailer and got in the cab, setting my mug on the 'new trucks' floor. I ransacked the truck's glovebox, looking for artifacts etc and just marveling at my new purchase and all the work ahead of me. When I got to the bottom of the mug, I found an old band-aid with blood and pus stain that had fallen from the glove box into the cup on the floor.....
