IMHO you paid more than what it is worth (in this condition, I peeked at the auction).

It is in terrible condition, the chrome is pitted, it is very dirty one of the worst I've seen. Good luck!

It's not been cleaned in a while. Characteristic of a busy landscape gardeners truck.

Went in the barn right after Raiders last good season????
Actually I will buy them like this. Wash them in the sink. Yep. Then get the detailing tools out. If the price is right... Will clean up good enough to display on a high shelf.

$36 ? That sounds good to me! It actually looks very realistic dirty lol

simple green works wonders
I use simple green,diluted 50 or more percent with distilled water...I`ll post the pics here after I wash it....the first `72 I bought,AND this one, will probably get repainted anyway....any favorites among this "shopped group" ?

* * * Hey John * * *
This is just my own stupid thoughts
This truck is your truck
The value is what you think it's worth
What do I think ... It makes no matter
Off the record ... I think it's cool as sheeeet
That has so many options for you to ponder
Just have fun

I'm leaning towards one of the greens.

It saves the trouble of "weathering" it. I like 'em like that.
