This 58 W200 was sitting in a Junkyard in UT for years, during which
time many people picked over for parts, including the famous Don Evans.
My friend Matt bought it in 1999 and trailered it back to WI. When he
went to pick it up the front knuckles were all in pieces, but almost all
the parts were laying around the truck, and he was able to put the wheels
back on. This is a factory V8 3 spd truck, and as you can see it will
need a bit of TLC to get it back on the road!
By the way the day these pictures were taken we could not push the truck
out of the garage because several tires were flat as you can see in the
last picture. So we used my 93 850 Volvo (seen in the background) to pull
it out of the garage. But with fully inflated tires Matt and I pushed
it back in easily!
