The guy wanted crazy money for the econos - 3k each, non running, rusted out. The 49 ford pickup was fairly reasonable (700), but no motor, transmission, interior or title.

Ironrat - no 59 olds, sorry. Found some other goodies down in the weeds: Econoline pickup vans, some gremlins, some javelins, a horde (like 10+) of pinto's, some nash's and a couple other possible parts (1970 buick electra 4door with 350 and tranny being the most notable)

Ironrat - never made it over Tuesday, too busy at work to take a lunch. I'll try again today. Rust is the issue, as everything I've read says these cars were lacking in that area. I'll try to see if I can get some other pics while I'm over there. There is a 49 Ford pickup I was going to see...

I can get a titled 1973 C20 3/4 ton truck for very, very cheap. Engine is a blown(Looks like block is cracked) 350, otherwise it is complete. I'm guessing that if I picked that up to use I probably couldn't: 1) Lower it all that much 2) Have to cut the frame to fit the top/cab/whatever would...

No tail lights yet.... I'm dreading removing the bumper to do so.

Hey folks, I found your site through a search on the internet. Lovely place, and I even like the color. Love the ratrod vibe , the personality of the cars to the owners, and the only style is your own. I'm kind of stuck in a holding pattern, as I'm not sure if I'll be moving in a couple...
