My day in the woods...

[Tyster36]

about 2 miles from my parents house/property. My Dad tells me Allan(owner) is scrapping and anything i want is scrap price. Sooooo......i go and look.

and this is the one i'm going to dig out.

what is the chance you can dig me out a pair of headlight buckets and maybe some tail lights?

 

[Tyster36]

The headlight buckets are paper thin. Not sure if i can even scrounge a pair for myself. I'll look again.

no big deal just figured I would ask instead of seeing them get scraped hope you can save some old tin from the scrap yard.

Wow what a great day in the woods. Sometimes i miss living in south Georgia because you never know what you might find. Living in an Atlanta suburb all you find are new BMW's. Keep us posted on what you haul out.

That first cab looks real useable. Snag the grill shell off the second one. If you plan on chopping it, you might want to take the top off one of the others too for some extra metal. Check the dashes.

If I were you, my wife would be asking me why I needed three cabs and where I was going to put them.

 

[46FORD$PU]

you are not kidding

 

[Dinokruzordinance]

At scrap price those would run $125 each. Id drag all that home sort through it. If u were loc id help you haul it.

If you don't have room maybe he will let you buy them and "store" them
right where they are are. Sickening to think of them being scrapped.

I believe that the 2 on the rt are 37's and the rt one is a 38. I'm stoked about getting them out.

Save Them

If they were near me I would get everything.Sad to see rod material scrapped.

Agree 100% no matter how bad, let somebody have a chance at it before the scrapper.

I'd be stacking out doors, and cabs and grills, let the frames go along with those rear axles, but sheet metal is goood.

 

[Old Iron]

I too would pull every inch of sheet metal

 

[CORPO]

nice man! Nothing like that up here...

 

[super56]

I got some room, would **** off the wife but[ddd... Gotta save em all if you can!

Well my Dad calls me this am to tell me that Alan(owner) and Earl(the scrap guy) are wanting to get them out today. I rush up there and they already drug one out. The one on the far left in the pic of 3. No worries cause it wasn't worth saving. Tree fell on it and was rusted BAD. Anyways we dig out/pull the middle on to the clearing and it's actually worse. A pillars were rusted up past the lower hinge on both sides. Roof skin ya could have just lifted off. Windshield frame junk, doors junk. And then we pull the 38 and it's even worse. Alan says they have been there before he was born(1956). The last one had a plate that was 1949. I asked him if anybody new that they were there and he said" Ya, had people wanting to buy them years ago". I was . Why do guys do this. Let stuff get so bad, even knowing they will NEVER do anything with them. Could have let somebody enjoy them while they were still in good enough shape. Anyways, i was bummed. And the only good grill shell he kept for himself.

Bummer!

keep looking hopefully you will stumble upon another treasure chest

So i am telling one of my customers at the shop today about these trucks and how they ended up being junk. He asks me "are you looking for a project?". "Not really, but what ya got?" He ends up telling me he has 3 46 Ford coupes sitting out behind his buildings and if i wanted to i could come have a look. I told him i'll be there Sat. mourning. He also has a 29 Chevy sedan, 34 Ford coupe and a 39 Ford coupe. I new he had those but not the 46's. I'm not really looking but i guess if they fall into your lap, ya better run with it, right?
