Roadside find!
I just returned from a 2 week vacation in Minnesota where there were many many old farm trucks were sitting along the roadside. Most of these trucks were the 58-59 models which aren't the most appealing to the eye if you haven't seen one(both Ford and Chevy). My dad made a trip up to a gas station up one of the many secluded roads near our cabin when he saw a truck that caught his eye. He knows how much I love the old vehicles so he came back and took me up to look. WHOOOAAA! I saw that truck and my jaw dropped. I said dad, thats no "old truck" thats a '40 Ford Pickup! If you don't know, these trucks are beautiful and becoming rarer every day. This was an all original car with minor dents and just surface rust. I knocked on the door and asked about the truck and he informed me that it was a South Dakota car(explaining its conditon) and that it was just sold on Ebay for $8,000(a good bit for a non-running surface rust car!). My heart dropped at any thought of pulling the wool over this guy's eyes. A good, fun find though anyway!
