interesting find in K30

what have you guys found in trucks you have purchased? i had a few interesting discoveries today while tearing down my newly purchased K30.

first off, we found some rope, and lots of it. ok, no big deal, its a work truck. rope is normal.

digging a bit further under the seat (with a big screwdriver, no telling what kind of critters are in there) we find a woman's shirt. a bit odd to find in a work truck, but maybe Joe Workaholic's girlfriend got a little warm and took her shirt off. no big deal. then we find a bunch of bullets in the glovebox. hmmm, almost sounds like a possible crime here. i made a few comments about it to my buddy, and we continue tearing into the truck. found all kinds of neat stuff under the dash. pens, safety glasses, that kind of stuff. dont ask me what they were doing up inside the dash, but they were. anywho, while taking out the column my buddy finds a piece of paper stuffed on top of the clutch pedal. he pulls it out, and jokingly hands it to me and says, "here's the directions to where the body is hidden" i carefully unfolded the paper, as it looked to be at least 20 years old. as i unfolded it, i nearly messed my pants. i found something that i have never seen before in my life.

my 86 was a one owner truck, i'd almost bet that when i tear it apart to install the heater box in the place of the AC, and remove all the cruise control stuff, i'll find one in there too.

if you have a mid to late 70's truck (and probably many other years) look under the seat, I have found many build sheets between the seat spring and the cushion..

I've never found mine as of yet. I've taken out the seat, column and not found it yet if it's there.
