L C,
Yes, it's pretty rugged. It was a farm truck.

you sure you don't live on wife's family farm? Old dodge pickups and old ford pickups buried in the woods just like that!!

ironmountain,
We have lots of cars in this area. When people had a junk car, they rolled it out into the woods. My Dad is a construction worker, and has dug up whole cars before with his bulldozer.

Leet,
yep..same here. Live deep in the woods, car/farm equipment/fridge/washing machine etc dies....put it up in the bush and let it sit.
at our hunting camp (used to be grandma's farm) there's a small lumber road that's pretty tight to drive. On the left side of the "road" as you start going, there's a house cut in half. It's like someone literally took a saw and just sliced 1/2 of it off. It butts right up to the edge of the road (there's a 3' bank on the side of the road). You can see the rocks and brickes used to level it under the flooring, kitchen table still there, cups,plates etc... there used to be an old 33 ford in there, but someone hauled it out years ago.....I'm going digging and MD'ing that place next time we're up there....imagine the stuff to be found just snooping in the cupboards...
tried to see if i could see it from Google maps to get a pic, but no go...will have to get some when i get back up there.
My bro in law and myself decided this past year to clean the farm up. it's huge and there's so much crap out there...(i don't mind the 4000 dumps or privy sites though). So he and i just casually started hauling scrap stuff down or out to the bush roads on the property. Father in law got the hint and we cleared out almost all of it.
Now I just need to find a glass recycler. I'd be fat rich. Daughter and I have pulled thousands of brown glass beer bottles and we're not even 1/8 into all the dumps/privy sites/foundations of old farm buildings etc... figure the farm has been there since the mid 1800's. and all they did was sit around the fire and drink.
