Found Vintage Tin

While out in the Nevada desert I found this piece of vintage tin waiting for resurrection. Here is the challenge....anybody recognize it and the location.

 

I don't know the location, but the truck is a '37 International.

 

Looks to be a K or KB-6 2ton or larger truck (1941-1949) not a 1937 they do use the D series cab and front fenders (1937-1940)

 

Nevada desert-you told us that.

 

The pics dated Sept. 3, 2006. Is it even still there?

 

Oh yea it is still there, as in other rest in peace areas......ya cant have it!!!

 

There used to be stuff like that behind the cheep Motels in Wendover 20 years ago. Probably all cleaned out by now.

 

that looks like a 1938 gmc 2 1/2 i have one of t hem.thanks

 

Is it at the spring out by Hoover Dam?

 

Nope, its a bit north of there.

 

Yep, know exactly where it is and have photographed it before with the 5X7 camera. It's in Pioche, NV. at one of the abandoned mine sites.

 

Bingo, Got it on the head.

 

Pic doesn't look real at all, it looks like a post card or something...

 

Exactly what I was thinking! Some photoshopping to the real print or something? Looks neat either way!

 

there are a bunch of old cars in Death Valley behind Scotty's castle. good ****!!

 

When I lived in Vegas in the early 80s, I found a '29 Model A Sport Coupe Body in a sandy ravine about 7 miles dead south of the Tropican Hotel and a 31 "A" Slant Window sedan in the brush about 5 miles west of Town. I gave the sport coupe body to a buddy and scavanged the sheet metal I wanted from the slant window. Nevada used to have lots of vintage tin just lying out in the desert. probably not so much anymore.

 

we should do an "abandoned car" scavenger hunt.. that would be fun.

 

exactly what i thought too. too picturesque. looks like a painting. even with the time stamp.

 

Terraizer has it right.

 

what are the bars above the door for,,so a p***enger can stand on the running boards????????

 

Sorry, picture is the real deal. It was overcast that day which must have created the look with no shadows. Inexpensive Kodak digital camera.
