Found this beast while on my morning bike ride. Only had a pocket cam with me.

Nice. That's too bad about the baseball field background and wasn't something that tied more into the theme of the truck, but it happens - at least you got it. Cab a little blown out, or is it my screen?

Typically I'm not a fan of the tone mapping, but in this case it gives the truck more of a grunge look and IMO works.

No tone mapping involved. Thanks for looking.

It was a treat to find it parked at the park. We get some strange vehicles on the road here.

Nobody around knew who it belonged to.....wanted to find out how many times the odometer rolled over. All things considered....it looked pretty solid. There were obviously a couple of serious cancer spots....but most of it was still pretty tight.
