Someone will know what year.
There are several other old cars and trucks on this land.

that would be a classic 1956 ford. some parts are probably usable the hood looked ok and the grill too. those parts would go a long way toward restoring a more valuable half ton
I doubt any of it would fit a f-100. the f-500s parts are bigger, even though they look the same
When I was a kid I found the front end of an old model A while hunting ducks on a pond in my grandads woods. My buddy and I gathered all the loose parts scattered around and put them together. Each fall we would return during the hunting season and put back together what time and nature would take apart.
40 years have past and I no longer hunt ducks and haven`t laid eyes on my friend in years. I sometimes find myself in that part of the woods when the turkeys gobble in the spring. Each time I stop and remember back to when I was a kid duck hunting.I look around for the fenders and head lights,but they are gone. Still I look,hoping that I`ve just forgotten the exact location where the old parts were. Wanting to gather them up and put them together once again.
Thanks for the picture. You brought back an old memory.

I guess youre right...I had to look at a regular picture of the truck to realize how big it really is

Great shootin' truck west. I had a shootin' car in my back field until the wife made me get rid of it. Why? I have no idea. She never was out back anyway.
Haven't you figured women out yet? If you enjoy something, they will try to take it away from you. Thats the only reason she had you get rid of it[:D][:D][:D]

Found this while squirrel hunting with the kiddos a few years ago.
HOLE y heck, with all them bullet holes, that could be the car they got bonnie and clyde in![:D]
I keep saying that one year I should bring a socket set.
Wish I had pics.
A lot of the bullets just bounced off of it.
That's 'cause it's a DODGE!

The cab, doors, glass and all the parts are the same size except the fenders. Back in the "day", all trucks from 1/2 tons to 2 tons had the same cab and seats. Over 2 tons were sometimes larger.
I rebuilt a 1954 Ford and ended up with a door with a big old West coast mirror on it. I ended up with parts from about four different size trucks and a panel truck. It all fits.
I was out on some property with friend of mine, its his families land and encountered some old cars. I want to say about 6 old Ford Mustangs in what appeared to be a Mustang grave yard. They just sat there under the trees withering away. [V]
Wish I had pics.
Wish I had the parts!
btw...washing machines and appliances seem to run a close second as far as items used to mark wealth.[:p][:o)]
in the case of that truck, it was probably more like....."im sick of you not starting and you failed one too many times. sit there and rot you sob truck. honey, fetch me the shotgun....BOOM. die!"[:D]

Ive found old vehicles up in the mountains in the middle of nowhere.
You couldnt even get a modern truck in those places. I just always
wonder about the events that led up to the poor abandoned autos.
Pretty cool stuff![:D]
