1975 Silverado. Owned 43 years

I just purchased this truck. Literally came out of the dairy barn side shelter where it was parked when not in use since '76. The owner still used it occasionally and it runs and drives fine. 92k mi. He bought it at 3200 mi. For the most part, the finish is just covered in brown dirt, thick yellow pollen, and a green mossy slime that grows on trucks out here.

I had to change the flat tire that had burst right where it was parked. Receipt shows the Armstrong Norseman tires were installed in July of 90.

I think it gave me the rodent plague. It smells like mice in the cab and I'm sick as a dog today! Virus probably laying dormant in there for decades! Lol
