Honey hole

I got in the best "junkyard" ever. And first off, no I didn't take a camera in but I promise I'll take pics as the stuff comes in.
It's about 160 miles away. First trip this week I'm bring home a 35 and a 36 Ford pickups. Both were projects and have no front sheet metal. Good cabs, fair boxes and rough back fenders. One has a MII and a 9 inch. I will get pics of those when I get home. Next on my list is a really nice original Mullins. Then there is 3 more 35-36 cabs with doors but he's kinda high on them, 2 model A pickup boxes I haven't priced yet, a pretty rough 41 short door coupe. After that, not sure. He has another 35 pickup that's a lot more complete, several 26-27 roadster pickups (some run). Several T truck cabs, 2 more 41 sedans, a 39 chev 2 door, a couple 48-49 F1s, 2-3 F4s, piles of fenders, hoods for pre war fords.
All this is just overflow for a old guy with his own personal museum.

Didn't see anything Dodge. The only 2 non-Fords in the museum were an 03 curved dash olds and an International Motor Cart, about a 1905 with wooden frame. The 39 Chevy is the only non Ford except for the remains of a Chalmers.

The brother in law is looking for a '49 olds manual trans for his nail head powered deuce coupe.

I'll see when I go back. It's all pretty organized and the grass all cut, not one of those junkyards from 50 years ago where everything is rotted into the ground. All this stuff has probably came in the last 10 years or so because he hasn't owned this land that long.

You sure it isn't a 50? I think that was the only year Olds didn't used that funky tranny with the front retainer build into the bell housing. At any rate, haven't ran across any for a few years. I did find a savable 50 Sedanette (fastback like a fleetline) but couldn't get it bought.

Here is a link to his thing. Warning: its on the PORK. Information is also helpful.

I;m pretty excited about the Mullins. I sure hope I can sell enough other stuff to keep it.

I'd love to have a Mullins to pull behind the Lincoln. Been looking at the fiberglass repops, may buy the body and build my own frame.

There was someone near me on CL this summer with an original Mullins in really nice shape except for the paint.
They were asking around $5000 as I recall.
