Today I got another one.

Couple weeks ago I found a '50 GMC panel listed in craigslist. It was described as rusted from top to bottom. Went to look, turned out it was a Chevy, and after a little talk we cut a deal.

I'd come back with a trailer and his wife would smile as it left.

Pictures are here.

The front wheels would not turn at all. The guy had a dozer he used to lift the front and push it onto the trailer.

Rusted top to bottom was an understatement. One of the doors had fallen off, because the cowl rusted free. Both splash pans are rusted to almost nothing. A rear hinge is rusted all the way through.

But it has bullet taillights, a cool grill guard and two fog lights! Okay its just a parts rig that I'll soon be cutting up, but I'll be putting some cool parts into use soon.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...

I saw a 59 Suburban just like mine (the 1st one I've seen except for mine) at a junk yard in Cullman Alabama. The owner bought it to fix up several years ago but now it just sits in the rain. What a shame. Photo here- Old Suburban 1
and here- Old Suburban 2

I'm picky about paper. But with all the rust this one still just parts.
