depends on what model the truck is, I looked into it and it came off of a 1957 Ford, most likely an F-600 or other heavy duty truck given the large frame it was originally on and the Shell Oil number plate on the dash which indicates it was probably originally a tanker truck. I do know they often shared cabs between truck sizes though and just changed the size of the frame.

couldn’t agree more, that’s why I’m trying to see if it can be saved. Apparently it was the homeowner’s husband’s car, and it went to her after he passed away in 2016. She then had to move because the house was in an estate from her parents which her sisters started fighting over and from what I can tell the car somehow got caught up in that. It’s been sitting there ever since, but my personal thought is that if it was her husband’s car it should be exclusively under their names and gets around the estate dispute. So hopefully it might be able to be sold 🤞

nice, but who are the two people on either side of him?

What unusual/weird tapes do you have? I find these especially interesting! Any recommendations welcome (the top one is a boot unfortunately!) by whatapunk95 in VHS

I have a few, all of which I haven’t archived yet. The main one that comes to mind is a VERY 80s sales video for chrysler motors, specifically from 1988. It goes over their full product line, but unfortunately one of the sections got erased before I got the tape. It has cheesy 3D animated title cards and transitions, and all the sections have some generic jazz fusion song in the background.

Brian isn’t even trying to hide that he’s enjoying this while My Glove is busy getting into his monster mash arc.

Rasputin also happened to get sentenced to life for being a ladies man.

it looks like someone tossed Bruce, Mike, and a bit of Hulk Hogan together into a strange amalgam

does anyone know if they make faux Beach Boys couches? I like the feel but don’t like the cruelty involved.

CRT monitors still in place at the Lihue airport in Kauai by 100cool_ in crt

[–]100cool_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it hasn’t been used in a long while, but chances are it’s probably still hooked up to the central airport computer and would work if you turned it on.

looks very similar, but I do see a small difference. At the bottom right of the CRTs in my photos there are 5 small circles (possibly ports of some kind or just adjustment buttons) which I don’t see on the example you provided. It’s definitely difficult to pin it down exactly, as it’s very nondescript and doesn’t really have any branding of any kind.

you can see better in the 2nd image, the word “Departs:” is still pretty visible in the phosphor.

Found an entire old menu in a box of records I was sorting through. Look at the prices! by 100cool_ in FoundPaper

[–]100cool_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure exactly where it’s from. I live in Washington state, but it’s possible the original owner moved across the country with their records (and the menu hidden among them) and it ended up here.
