My 1959 1 ton was used as the tool truck for earth moving so it had all kinds of small bolts and bits that were mostly rusted together. It also had the old pyrex (now on garage wall as trophy) brass hypodermic looking fire extinguisher. In the big box it had a number of crappy old tires, some old tractor front wheels, and about 5 bulldozer track rollers which each weighed like 50lbs a throw. The side tool boxes had rusted out floors from batteries so they held nothing. The cab had a few lone star and schlitz beer bottles. I was short changed for rat offal and dead rodentia, but am not complaining.
My 47 jeep from the same nice old guy contained a number of old shotgun and 22 shells in an ammo box that was attached to the side of the jeep, plus some tires that didn't go with the jeep. The floor was about 6" deep as a planter and the whole thing was loaded with fire ants. Fire ants had nested in the alternator (still works), the air tube (millions!) and about a bazillon in the planter section. Never saw so many in my life. They don't like PB Blaster.
While doing the jeep I bought my neighbor's 72 C10 (doing that one now) and it contained stock manifolds for I6 jeep motor, mismatched alluminum 15" wide wheels (which after I trade em out for matching ones will get used), and 2 stock wheels, plus the bumper, wipers, and garbage. No ants, rats, or offal. The interior had a turd gauge package, and an excreable audiovox radio plus 6x9 speaker holes cut into the doors ( #$@#$ !!! ) which were brilliantly replaced with 1/2 plywood and 6" round speakers.
I took the jeep parts and sold them on ebay for $117.50 and I only paid $100 for the truck! HA! Freebie! Truck also had its turd TH350 in the back and no motor. Same neighbor that sold me the truck had a lumina I fixed up and we sold and split the take. I used my proceeds to buy a 230 I6 (freshly rebuilt - 1000 miles or so on it) and had enough left over to buy a 700r4 rebuildable core that's going to tranny shop tomorrow.
