The pictures you see are of the project,I had to cut a black wall nut tree to get it out far enough to cut the bed off it. It had a plate steel flat bed on it,It use to be a farm truck , just an old work horse ,left in the back 40,the only thin it has been used for the last 20 years is well pretty darn gross !!! The previous owner and his sons would go hunting every year.(DEER) . After the kill,clean they would waunt the antlers to hang up. They would put the scull in the truck cab and let it decompose , they did this for years.The cab was also full of wall nuts some animal (squirrel , mouse,rat,whatever it was ) they were all over the inside if the cab....After I cot the cab home for the next four days I had diarrhea !!!!!!!!!! Last week I went to clean the cab out. I removed the seat BONES ,wall nuts , stick and sooo much other stuff i wont say .After I removed the big stuff I took it to the CAR wash ......YEAAAAA........ after 5$ in QUarters ,a bottle and a half of irish spring body wash it smelled a whole lot better, Bad news I was covered in stuff that came from the truck cab,, and like before I got a bad case of diarrhea. It lasted about 2 days thanks to Jim beam, I got over it a whole lot quicker. I hope you have enjoyed the read..been a bad ride so far but i'm in it for the long haul....It can only get better... right?? .............RIGHT??????? LOL !
