History Bob Schliem’s ‘40 pickup - Denver, CO

I just spotted this on a highway around Denver. Ukrop recognized it from a picture in TRJ a while back. I haven’t found anything else on the internet about it…so, is this a newly unearthed find on its way to restoration or what? Anyone know? Looks like Bob p***ed in 2020.

 

Incredible! Its amazing its still intact. I'm curious if Bob Schliem owned it that whole time? Hopefully it will be restored.

 

WOW!

 

I took a few shots as we p***ed it. Ch***is appeared mostly original, as I guess it was back in the ‘60’s.

 

Columbia two-speed.

 

Good eye!

 

Is it just me or does the rear window opening seem to be different than the old pics? Appears it also gained a cargo light. I do like it though, it has good proportions for a car made into a truck. I also love the garage doors on the house in the early pic.

 

Back of cab reminds me of '48-'50F-1

 

Bump

 

Cool!Wonder where it's headed?

 

I painted my dad's garage doors like that when I was a boy...he was not impressed and made me paint them again. One color. He hampered my artistic development.

Mayne a third brake light up there?

 

Nope!

 

Seeing it on a rollback makes me wonder if it's on the way to the crusher. I certainly hope not.

 

One more try, just curious!
