Treasure Hunting

Finally got a call from a guy who is sort of a local legend around here for the 400-500 antique cars he's got. Went today to check them out hoping to find an old Willys or FC Jeep. Nothing like that but he did have an old aluminum camping trailer I might get and he sent me down to his neighbor who's trying to sell a 99 % rust free original 1953 MB Jeep with 55K on it. Turns out the owner has been selling and crushing some of his cars lately so there was less than expected but he's got anther 100 or so on another property. Heck of a nice guy, let me rummage around as long as I wanted....here's some pics in no particular order.

 

These are not cars in case you're wondering, they're Axis Deer, he breeds them for ranches around the state.

Bonus points if you can name the make/model/year! :cheers:

Someone should tell these designers, "Sir, if you put a damn swan on the hood, it technically ceases to be a man's truck".

Here's that 1953 Jeep at the neighbors place. Its been in the barn since the 90s (disregard the inspection stickers)....its really tempting. First two shots are pics of old pics the owner showed me....the guy was a drummer and it had all sorts of drum equipment and other junk all over it so I couldn't get full shots. The VIN is #15377, haven't looked it up yet....He wants 2K, if it runs, he hasn't started it in years.
