Dead Work Truck

[verz]

Was hiking around on some mountain property and saw this old dead locksmith truck. The owner of the property said I could rummage around in it, their wasn't much in it but I scavenged a few padlocks to play around with. The locks were in bad shape, when I got home I put some oil on them and let them sit for a couple of days, it seemed to loosen most of them up.

The padlocks should make for a couple of hours of entertainment anyway.

Great find

The Slaymaker second row from the bottom far right is the first lock I ever picked. The locks are great but, the truck would be the thing to take home.

I could get the truck, I might for a storage shed. As far as making it run I have no interest in making old cars run anymore (frustrating money pits. lol)
I wouldn't mind making it into a tool shed though.

Hope you got the display of blanks too!

It crossed my mind but I thought "what the hell would I do with this..?". If I had a key cutting machine I might hack up some blanks and try to learn how to cut keys. I am sure it will still be there so I could pick it up if I every find a use for it.

YES! Go get the blanks. Some of us might be able to use them, too!

Van looks amazing. BTW which year is it?

Nice key rack, wondering might get at least a couple of hindered dollars just for this vintage key rack at an antique shop.

I'll grab them nex time I go up there.

I am not sure what year it is? I looked at the plates to see when it was last registered but the stickers were wore off. I might have to take a look in the glove box or under the hood next time I am there.

I grabbed a couple of key sets while I was there, I think they are "try out keys"(correct me if I am wrong) One is for old Ford vehicle keys, one is Weiser keys, and the others I am not sure what they are for? But more then half of the other ones are cut the same and stamped "915" So I am wondering why would a locksmith have 30 of the same keys? For a school? or commercial building?
