1928 Chevrolet Truck

Wish I had $6,000 to spare because I'd love to have this old truck.

No, I wasn't leaning while taking the picture; the lot was sloping down towards the street.

It's in rough shape, but with some TLC it could look pretty sharp, I bet.

When I first saw it, it reminded me of The Walton's truck, but a bit of research told me that one was a Ford. (One site said it was a '31; another said it was a ' 28-'29 model)

The inside needs a lot of work, too.

Then again, there's not a lot to fix up!

Not sure how large the tank is, but it can't hold more than a few hundred gallons. I would be leery of filling it up because I imagine the old truck would collapse under the weight.

The tires are pretty much rotted rubber, but the wooden spokes would look really sharp if sanded, stained and sealed.

Not sure how easy it would be to get parts for it, especially for the old engine.

Seems to me that it would be worth more than 6 grand, especially if fixed up.
