[GreeCguy]

Here it is fellows, the new to me 1996 Chevy half ton truck

The "Rat Condo."

A little roof paint, some compounding of the rest of the truck, a vacuum and a tire should be all it needs, right?

Interior

The little bit of the interior that I can see looks to be in nice shape.

You people sure do tear cars up around those parts.

The interior is actually in excellent shape - a few stains but no rips or holes in either seat or carpet. It even came with a hat and a pair of work gloves AND an unopened pack of Winston cigarettes.

That's what I was really hoping for. However, it looks like it might need a little more work.

We just test 'em to see how tough they are.

At least you don't have rust to deal with down there. Up here a truck that age would be pretty much rusted out and not fit for the road unless it wasn't winter driven.

I love the flat tire off the rim, it looks like it was in a police chase.

 

[Tdbo]

Impressive. Will this replace the van?

There is probably another reason it got parked.

It looks like a really fun project. I am a huge fan of GM trucks like that.

 

[Kruse]

That will buff....er....vacuum out.

Do this to get the tire back on the rim, preferably when all the hay and acorns are still scattered about.
