A real rot bucket

In very rough shape

The cab was used as a garbage can

The tear down begins. Torch the front clip.

Cleaned out the "Garbage Can"

Rust everywhere.

Off comes the box.

The frame gets degrease, prepped and primed.

Patching the cab floor and corners.

Found a 1950 truck enginge to replace the original, stuck engine. Changed all of the gaskets and repainted.

"New" engine mounted in painted frame.

I drove it like for a summer, until the first 50 degree day.
