Now that's a well used truck but I'm sure it has a lot of miles left on it!

And it still drives on public roads, being not the only one in that condition - why to dump a good car ;)

Looks like a "Fixer upper" to me! :D
I was watching a re-run of "Home Improvement" (Tim Allen) last night & he mentions "Tanaka's Sushi Bar & Live Bait Shop", & your picture reminded me of that. (Maybe one of those cases where you had to be there!) ;)

You need something to keep those together - maybe they were running out of bolts ;)

It's ok as long as it moves ... seriously, you can see cars like that in the trafic, next to grand mercedes or luxurious bmw x5. Safety laws exist, but they are flexible (you might like to see this, look the post #4).

I guess you're right - he has a job with regular pay. When he takes the job seriously, the others were smiling - Thai style!

Sandy, could this truck easily fit into one of of the barns you've seen?
