I've seen this truck sitting at a farm headquarters for years, but finally caught somebody there and had time to stop and ask about it. It's a '76 Allentown F model. The man said it was a running truck up until a couple of years ago, when a man he knew stopped by needing some parts off an old pickup truck. He was granted permission, but he stayed back there for a long time, and when he drove out, he left in a hurry and didn't say anything to anybody. The owner went back behind the shop to look, and this jack ass had taken a sawzall and cut through the front of the cab, the bumper, the grille, and all just to cut the core out of the radiator to sell for scrap. The owner called him up and threatened to call the sheriff if he didn't come make it right, but two days later the SOB fell off a roof, broke his neck, and died in the hospital a couple of months later. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy, huh? Instant karma! Anyway, I'm going to try to work a deal with this guy, because other than the obvious damage to the front, it's got the cleanest cab of any F model I've seen around here. May even try to swap him out of his old 3T D7.post-560-0-19871100-1361913689_thumb.jpgpost-560-0-54713100-1361913819_thumb.jpgpost-560-0-03479200-1361913848_thumb.jpgpost-560-0-52261300-1361913879_thumb.jpgpost-560-0-72812200-1361913908_thumb.jpgpost-560-0-15234000-1361913940_thumb.jpg

What a shame the jackass slaughtered it. He should be on 1000 ways to die. Butcher a good collectable just for a bit of scrap metal and Karma got him. It's still fixable and really solid, bring it home and give it a new lease on life.

Another nice find,Jake! Of all the trucks to butcher,the scumbag had to pick a decent F like that! He made out big on that adventure,didn't he? :loldude: Kind of like the guy that gets electricuted while cutting live wire up for scrap!.............sizzle...sizzle....sizzle....POOF!

IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!! Big John Trimble,WRVA

Not that I would but remind me to never take anything from that guy...there isn't a whole bunch more you can do to a guy once he has met his maker. What a turd he is (was) to take stuff from a guy nice enough to let you have or buy some part you need. Karma indeed.
