Fortunately, the truck is now out of the shed and the shed has been torn down. I saved some of the wood to use in the house we are building for the facing of our island. It became unstable in the last few years after some wind/storms and rotting wood. Unfortunately, the truck is now sitting uncovered behind a relatives shop.. Before the great-grandmother passed away a mechanic had gone through the engine and repaired some small issues so shouldn't be many problems with it. My hope is all of the seals in the windows/windshield have held up and water is not getting in to cause more internal rust since its sitting out in the elements. The shed although unstable provided some shelter for many years, the only totally exposed part was the front end. My hope is I can talk some sense into the grandfather to give me the truck so it can be restored and used as a driver. I need a truck (up until recently have been driving 120 miles a day for work so my daily driver has been a rice burner if you know what I mean) and to have a piece of my wife's family history would be amazing.
