Description
Another shot of the old International panel truck that was parked at Station Square last week. I thought it was an interesting contrast between the beautiful overall rustiness and the bright mag wheels. It's a little hard to tell in this shot, but there is a nice script graphic painted and fading away that looks like it says "Rasley's".Related content

Although its not feasible, it can be fixed, although it requires a serious anti rust treatment. There is nothing that can stand against passion.
I always like American trucks and pickups! the manly way to go.
I have seen that some people even paint that rusty look to their vehicles, it looks artistic, and the thing underneath is really new, so it tricks the observer's expectations.

I kind of like it the way it is. 
American trucks do have a look about them.
That would be cool to do. They do that sort of stuff on old trucks at Disney. Nothing is ever what it seems down there.

A great shot of a great truck! I love 'em when they still have a "patina" to them! (just like this...[link] wants me to paint it...I say over my dead body!)
You compared the wheels to the rust...I think a neater contrast is the good ole chrome that looks like it has gone the past few decades through a time capsule!
Too bad new chrome isn't as tough as the old stuff.

Thanks! Me too. Living here in the Rust Belt, I have little choice, we have rust in our veins.
It is interesting that the chrome held up so well over time, really says something for the quality.

I myself would be tempted to leave it as is and just work on the mechanics and interior.

She looks pretty solid. This definitely would be a good project truck.
The trailer looks as rough as mine.

It does look pretty solid. I'm thinking a custom would be the way to go since the grill is pretty messed up, but I guess somebody with some skills could fix it. Even a Rat Rod would be cool. Yeah, that trailer looks like it's done some hauling.
