Re: April 2010 TOTM

My truck may not be worthy of winning this distinct honor but it’s qualified to be nominated. It’s got a little of everything going on:
Dent pounded out on the front fender with your basic rust outlining the creases. Rust bubbling under the paint on the lower fender. A nasty, rusty hole cut for a gas tank in the bed at some point in its life. Trailer tail lights under the bed (originals not connected if there at all). Missing chunk of bondo on bedside on passenger side with more rust where the body filler used to be. And if you hadn’t noticed it’s not your classic two-tone paintjob. The suspension squeaks like hell but you can hardly hear it over the exhaust sound (it’s got a nice rumble for a 283). I don’t have a working radio but I don’t care.

It’s a runner and you gotta love that.
