That looks like the canopy my at the time step father had a Poulsbo Wa sheet metal shop (hvac) make for his 54 3100 with side windows added. That one was all galvanized though.

AD at a local Estate Sale... They are doing a very annoying "auction" where they don't give an estimated price for the truck, just accept offers and then decide if they get one high enough that they'll sell the truck.

There's no requirement to actually sell to the highest bidder, so its not really an auction. Just their way to try and make sure they're not accepting an offer when there might be a better one afterwards.

Geeez. Damn that sucker looks like a nice truck!

Our wives would find way too many projects for that truck to do around the place. But you could haul a load of brush to the dump in the morning and park at a local cruise on the way back home with it.

All over Oregon, classic cars were victims of this summer's wildfires. This guy is trying to sell some on CL, including a Chev C10:

Sad indeed. I toured through one of the fires - 20 miles of burned-out houses and businesses, two entire towns wiped out. In the ashes I spotted several classic vehicles destroyed, 65 Mustang, 55 Chevy, 57 Chev PU, etc. Below: it really touched me when I saw these people sifting through the ashes of their home looking for any old mementos.

I took a drive up to Detroit a few weeks ago and most of those burned vehicles from the ad you posted above can be seen from the highway.

Seeing the homes and cars destroyed is difficult. I was also surprised by the number of trees cut down and stacked along the highway. It will never look the same in my lifetime.

I was working in San Diego when the 2003 fires came screaming through. The wasteland left is/was indescribable. We drove down a two lane road where trees were still burning, but houses had already been leveled. I think it was the closest thing to hell on Earth.

dont think i would touch them. i understand too much heat can make the steel brittle. doubt there would be anything worth saving.

I'm thinking that I saw the one that MPC posted in post 434 at one of the Billetproof shows a few years ago but Normally I don't take photos of rat rods unless it is a rat rod specific show. The only reason I can see anyone except a scrapper getting it now is if it has a clear title and they need a title for that model of truck. The state patrol inspector who checks the scrap yards here is so nit picky that an individual would have a hard time hauling them across the scales in that condition without titles right now though. The county is finding piles of scrap body parts dumped in the sage brush out in the hills because of the hassle to haul them to the scrap yard.

I've been watching northbound semis hauling hundreds of burned vehicles out of the Almeda Fire, apparently taking them to Portland. It's all financed by FEMA.

A couple of retired hop trucks out about 15 miles west of me. Cabs look pretty solid but the back of one looks rather beat up.

I'd be wary of some real suspect modifications though. The one on the far side of the photos of the pair looks like the roof has been caved in from standing on it.

Climate change may have some to do with it but I can't blame that all on man made causes. Not to say that we can't do things to help out though such as solar power for buildings.

I'd say that the huge fires are due more to bad range and forest management practices as much as anything else. The current people who run the forest service and Bureau of land management seem to cater way more to the hike in the pristine woods brigade who don't want to see area that have been logged or are afraid of cattle that might be run on the range that could be leased out and are extremely vocal about it.

If you live anywhere north of Sacramento in the western states you know about the thousands of acres of trees killed by pine beetles that were never cleared out and left standing dead and ended up providing fuel for a lot of the fast moving fires.

Throw in people who build houses out in forest area and I have to admit that I would probably have been one given the opportunity you have thousands of homes in the line of fires. Many with areas around those homes not very well kept as far as fire preventive measures go.
