Things don't rot much out here. Don't know if it runs, but looks like it could fire up and roll.
Lots of these relics in the southwest.

They're leaving them where they are. The prices for these truck when it is in fair condition is $11K. However, when it's fully restored to a Concours d'Elégance grade condition similar to the photo above it will worth approximately $50K. Certainly there's money in there to be had when all said and done. But the proverbial question is how many collectors out there are lining up to own one of these?...

On the other end of the scale, this black 1955 Ford F-100 pick truck was sold for $220K at Barrett-Jackson Auction in 2014. Now here's the truck that you can bank your retirement funds on.

 I belong to a traditional hot rod and custom forum. I see trucks and cars pulled out of the muck and weeds rebuilt to be beautiful functional drivers all the time. This stud looks like a great candidate for it.
