Dump Truck Decaying In Thai Jungle
Dump Truck Decaying In Thai Jungle-October 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:29

Time for your daily dose of derelict trucks rusting in their final resting place.

Identified by the photographer only as "an old dumptruck" and a local landmark, this rusting rig was apparently spotted in Koh Phangan, Thailand.

We've placed it as a Hino TH series, built between 1950 to 1965. Noted Hino enthusiast pointed out it's probably a TH-17, built toward the end of the model series' life. I don't think that wooden seat was factory issue... but only because it looks a lot younger than the metal surrounding it.

The focus looks a little off but the colors in this photo are great. As the shot taken more than seven years ago, I'd be interested to know how much of the Hino has deteriorated since it was captured here.

is a daily feature on Truck Yeah! that takes a moment to respect retired trucks as they return to the Earth. If you've seen one you think we should share, drop a note to !

Nissan's Getting Ready To Take Another Swing At Trucks
Holy crap, not only are we getting a new-new pickup truck for the first time since the Curse of the Bambino was broken, it actually looks like it might be kind of cool. It also looks a bit like the mid-sized truck Nissan already sells outside the U.S. as...

The Next Ford Ranger Could Come With Plug-In Hybrid Power: Report
It was a little more than a year ago that we saw that looked like they could be the next Ford Ranger. After Ford’s lawyers that they belonged to the company, we knew they might have some bearing on how the next Ranger will look. Now we think we...

This Junkyard Toyota 4Runner With A Photo Of The Glory Days In The Glovebox Is Just Sad
A 1985 owner from Australia was at a junkyard hunting for parts when he spotted a photo in the glovebox of a rotted out car-cass. The picture shows what a rust-bucket 4Runner looked like 20 years ago; it was a stunning red SUV with awesome exterior graphics and a...

The Torsus Praetorian Is An Off-Road Bus For The End Times
It’s an eternal twilight. Unidentified creatures howl in the distance while little fires burn out of the ground here and there for some reason. If you want to get to the North Lands once called Toronto where legends of flowing water and a life beyond the wastes beckon, you’re...

My Truck Has A Dangerous Speedometer Leak And Yes You Read That Right
I just drove nearly 700 miles in my 1985 pickup, and encountered a failure so absurd, I’m still not sure I believe it: My speedometer is leaking buckets of oil onto my feet as I drive. While this may not seem like a big concern, it could actually be...
