I think it can be still saved with a little work. It ran when it was parked.

Yeah, I'm working on a 1931 Model A Deluxe Pick-up like that, shown in the photo below. It just needs a new battery and it should start right up. I was also told that, to preserve the original patina, it can be buffed out with some Johnson furniture wax. It is only original once, after all!!

That's not a pickup with those rear bumperettes
 
Sometime in the 1960's, while traveling with my dad and mom, we stopped somewhere in, I think, Oregon, off the highway. There was the remains of a cab for a locomotive in a field. Later I learned that the whole locomotive was there and had been buried by a flood. Someone dug it up and got it running. Somehow this photo reminded me of that.
 
And I thought I had a rusty gas tank. oh, the engine and frame numbers match, built March 1931. :)
 
As a 12 yr old kid I bought a 1951 Chev 1/2 ton. I had as close to zero money as you could get, so the local boneyard was my parts source. One time I remember needing a "three on the tree" shifter and shift box as mine was completely wore out. I went digging around up there and found one in perfect condition, nearly new. The donor vehicle was just a bit better than the above vehicle, the cab was there but not much else. Pankinen, the boneyard owner charged me $2.
