Old Iron for Charlie

[charlie cleveland]

jack i was just looking again at this old gmc i was especially looking at the bed construction...someone really built a quality bed ...look at the bolt s through the wood all nicely done and spaced evenly..and still looking purty good even with no care given to it for a lot of years...wish i could afford to at least build a shed for it.... charlie

Yes, I noticed that when examining the truck. They had built it to accept a hydraulic hoist lift, which worked just fine but..... one day, the hydraulic cylinder failed and the box came crashing down. Luckily, nobody was hurt, except the cylinder which cracked open along a poor weld.

Kids out your way are more respectful of others people's property. If that truck was out here, it would have a lot of bullet holes in it.
I too saw how well the chrome has stood up. Frame is probably heavier than hell. Not like today's tin foil.

What a shame to ket the old girl just rust away to nothing.
