A neat find would be an intact abandoned Snap-on tool truck, Tom’s snack truck, coke truck, or Saf-gard shoe mobile. Not exactly the kind of “loot” PCs normally go for, but imagine the trade, morale, or future development value of 5 tons of tools, footwear, or salty snacks. Or the power of having “The Last Dr. Pepper”.
The county seat (or its equivalent) in any agricultural/forestry area probably has a small machine shop, a welder shop, and a diesel mechanic shop. With those three you can keep a lot of the farm and logging equipment going almost indefinitely. My uncle owned a pre WW2 sawmill he bought when he got home which is still running like a charm today. The parts get get fabricated at this point, but it still works. Could see something similar in a town taking special orders as part of a trade economy or making up new equipment from scrap. Rumor was the machine shop in my town was even able to turn out some “special equipment” for folks who approached hunting season as more of a suggestion than a rule.
