Artifact History: Unknown
Artifact Condition: This old model heavy truck is difficult to distinguish due to a large amount of dredge spoils having been dumped directly onto it. The firewall, engine, and radiator are present, but about half buried in these spoils. The wheels are also showing only about half. The tires are gone. The bed of the truck is hard to distinguish as it appears that a very square-ish shaped cab has fallen off of the truck to the side and blocks view of the bed. You can barely make out the running board and fender. One stainless steel headlight housing can be seen. Steering column is present, but no wheel.
