Re: Abandoned, neglected square body trucks rotting away...

This one has been out there since at least 2017 I believe. I'll post more photos of some of the other squares this Weekend which includes one I bought as well.
This one appears to be worthy of saving as well - especially the natural patina.

Agreed, never know what you’ll find out there!

It's been sitting in the same spot at my Landlords dump since 2006. But surprisingly it's not all in bad shape body wise but the motor is still in there seized up.

Not the greatest image, but here's another C-30 around the same year I would assume.

Last tagged in 2005 and was brought in along with several other stuff that rots out there.
Seized engine or not, this one appears to also be worth of saving!

This one seemed like it had a solid body but stripped for parts though.
Wow, nice find and congrats! Keep us posted w/ your progress!

Did you happen to snap any more pics of this:
