i just thought this was kind of funny, so i attached a couple pics. i just picked up my truck yesterday that i bought on ebay for $1000. i took the grill off because its all banged up and i wanted to start sanding and priming. long story short, there was a huge bird nest tucked inside my core support. haha

Looks like they had a nice cozy home for a little while!!

Haha, you're right about that! I'm just glad the birds were gone before I started yanking that nest out!

i bought a parts truck one time and called a tow truck to bring it to my house while I was at work . The tow truck driver said he got attacked by chickens while trying to put it in neutral. They were living in it.

Thank you. Its a decent enough starting point for my rat rod project. But rats chewing up the wires really would have sucked.

I found a dead bird in a nest in my grill support.
