Default M54 found while driving around in my Deuce

I found this truck while giving the Deuce its weekly drive. I stopped and ask the farmer if I could take some pictures of it and he said that was fine. The data plates are in rough shape but I could see that it said M54 wo/w and seems to be a gasser. I thought I would post my pics and see if anyone has any thought or info on this truck.

Thanks,
Dave

If someone saves that, they might have Ferro beat for rusty crusty recoveries....was it solid at all, or is all that rust fairly deep?

Everyone says the .50cal is the best anti-vehicle gun, but the truth is, if you shoot a .50cal through an engine block, you're not actually going to stop the vehicle, at least not right away. The fluids will leak out and eventually it will stop. But it is not instant by any means. A .338 or even a .300 will do the same thing. No, the best way to stop a vehicle is to shoot the driver. And that can be done with any number of weapons. -Chris Kyle, "American Sniper"

The rust is fairly deep but the engine compartment still looks good.

Thats what I was thinking. The farmer plans on cutting it up for scrap.

I am thinking a case of OD green and she will look good as the day she was parked there. Which was from the looks of it atleast 15years or more! Spray paint party! I'd take the axles though!

Any idea of what he wanted? I know scrap price isn't as high right now as it was last year. Ive got family northeast of Mt. Comfort. I wonder if I could talk them into coming to get it!
