I think that's a '56. People have restored way worse. At least that sheet metal isn't all riddled with rust. Whoever hauled that to the scrap yard really missed the boat; if they had hauled it to the International in Glendale last June, they could have come away with a few hundred bucks jingling in their jeans.Gord Richmond, within Weasel range of the Alberta Badlands -
Excellent. 'No way should this truck have been baled.
Was it Hank Williams Jr. or ??? who said it was good to have friends in low places?

A scrap yard doesn't qualify as a "low place." At one time, every single occupant of the box seats at Severance Hall could tell you, offhand, that day's bid and close on scrap iron. It's the blue hypocycloid on the Steeler logo. IIRC, the other two stand for muscle and blood.Comment
