I wish I would have taken a picture, but when I removed my generator there was a dead mouse that looked like it had gotten crushed by a cog. Aside from that I did find the original owner's manual.

I would have screamed like a girl if I would have reached in there and pulled out a mouse carcass. Would have been some cool pics though!

100's, maybe 1000's, of spent 22 shells. They were everywhere: down the defroster, in the side vents, under the seat, in the seat, behind the tank and I even pulled one out from under that little trim piece on each side of the dash.

I did a lot of varmint shooting when I first got this truck back in the 80's. The whistle pigs (ground squirrels for those not from around here) didn't stand a chance.....

From small arsenals too extra tools for the tool box. Keep me coming, I researched the Pepsi-cola can and best I can tell is it's from the 80's. Truck originated in Oregon and low and behold that's what the top of the can said!

I got about a dollar in change from under the seat and found a door handle and weather stripping inside the passenger door.

Found a 1"x2" cut-out of a 60's dressed playboy pin-up girl. It blew out of the lip above the drivers door when I was driving because there is no headliner. Not work safe so I'll leave it up to your imagination.
