So I went over yesterday and took a look for myself. The truck is in super rough shape, but I did get a VIN, and found the build date, 03/73. I am actually really interested in it, but it's basically sunk into the ground now so getting it out would be near impossible. I talked with Jordan (2hipsi) and ran the VIN online on the .gov sites he pointed me to, and learned nothing from those as far as it being hot or not. If anyone on here is a Police Officer and is willing to run the VIN for me I'd greatly appreciate it, just shoot me a PM and I'll fwd the info. I can go to a station but I don't want to go to that length just yet unless I have to.
It looks like it rolled over or has something heavy land on it's roof. It's super dented in. It is an inline 6 truck with what I'm assuming to be 3 on the tree. Kids got in to the barn a few years back and busted all the windows, taillights, etc. out. The front end is damaged too. I couldn't get the hood popped. They do have another barn I could shove it into while working on it, and I may be able to talk her father into funding it if it is kind of a shared truck. My GF is even more interested in making it run than me, so who knows. Maybe I'll get an LS/4L60 to throw in it and call it done after making it roadworthy..
