One of the fun parts of starting a build on an old vehicle is the items you find when cleaning them out. I wish i had thought to take pics of the interior when I started. I blew out probably 10 lbs of pecans and 3 rat skeletons. When I folded the seat forward and went to blow out the pecans out from there I did see a huge rat climbs out from behind the seat and drops down on the passenger side and walks off. I couldn't even process what I was looking at he was so confident as he walked off. But I did find the following items while cleaning out.

I'm assuming this is the radio delete plate as the truck was a extreme bare bones truck. Dad said it's probably been sitting under the seat since the mid 70's

A deck of played cards from Caesar's palace in Lake tahoe. Still sealed from when it was retired at the casino. You can still read the table number, the dealers name and the month and day it was used.
