Popular Post other dog Posted April 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2019 This old truck used to sit along rt.460 between Appomattox and Concord, Va. I have some pictures of it in a photo album that I took then, before I even had a digital camera. Then I spotted it in a field on rt. 29, north of Amherst. It sat there for several years, then it just disappeared. I happened to spot it on rt. 47 in Madisonville a few weeks ago, and we went by there yesterday and stopped and took a few pictures. 3 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Hobert62 Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Looks like it would do a wheelie if ya hooked a trailer to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 It sure seems I've seen that truck in the past where it was sitting on 460. We traveled there, (Appomattox Courthouse) a couple of times when I was in the Navy to see the sites when the kids were little. Used to be several former military trucks around there too that were used in VFD's. Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

I had never seen it until they cleaned off a little piece of land there, and cleared the trees and underbrush. You could tell that it had been there a long time, but it was so covered up in bushes you couldn't see it.When I stopped back then there was a coil and some plug wires on the ground beside it, like somebody had been trying to get it running.

I'll bet the same truck. Used to tent camp in a couple places west of Appomattox. That was in the 1986 -1987 timeframe when I was home, (Norfolk at the time).
