Description: |
The elements are taking a toll and rust streaks are starting to form on its blue paint. Thats not too bad but what is a issue is that some low life retard wanna be gansters have defaced the unit as well as several others of Great Waltons. |

Tattered faded and sandblasted, but atleast in better light |
Description: |
This geep has been through alot, but this might be its final resting spot. After a career on IC and G&O, it was sandblasted down for repainting but the order must have fallen through as its now in the deadline in Monroe, probably to be used as a parts source. |
