Unearthing a diamond in the rough

The twin to the blue rat rod has been sitting in the woods for years now. If the license plate is any indication the last time the vehicle was registered was in 1992. With a pending sale of the property the white truck is sitting on the time to get the truck out of the woods and home is now. the plans for the white truck is to do a full restore. The truck belonged to my mom's husband's father who passed just a few years ago. It will not be a project finished any time soon but it will be a worthy venture.

So far the truck has been dug out and jacked up out of the dirt. Both rear brakes were completely seized and had to be pried apart with a crowbar. I haven't yet tested the front wheels to see if they spin. I will steal the tires and rims from the rat rod, air them up, and then I should be able to get the white truck home on the car dolly next visit.
