Found this out in the south 40's barn on a neighbor's farm. Was covered in dust, had to tow her home. Gave her a bath and a few hours working on her and she was running. Not sure what i'm gonna do. The farmer said he caught a big buck in the front end then slid off the road and sideswiped a telephone pole down the driver's side. However, the frame isn't bent and it seems to track true. May just leave her like she is. Just need to put in a windshield. :) rr

Congratulations on your find RR!!! Good to hear no one was seriously hurt. Looks like he squeezed her between the fence posts. Out in the country barn is where you find all the goodies. I'm sure you can find another front clip, add a little paint and glass, she'll be as good as new. The boys back at the shop just rebuilt one, just didn't have that much damage. Thanks for sharing!!!

Nuts to the windshield RR. Slap on some goggles and shut yer mout shut to keep the bugs outta yer teeth. Then run the wheels off it!

Reminiscent of an old cornbinder pick up my buddy used to have ...had deluxe upholstery...two lawn chairs!

LOL, Bill!
Lawn chairs are better than milk crates at any rate.

I like the Carry-all alot. It looks like something I would have dragged home, too! :thumbsup:
Good show, Jerry!
