A *real* tin magnet
Ok, first kick me for not thinking to take a camera. I went out with my b.i.l. to haul some stuff from a ranch. I see a junkpile and we go over, not sure on ownership but the guy whose place we were on runs his cattle in there so we crawled the fence and check it out. First off there is a real straight 49 Ford tudor body. But in the junkpile is layers of old car stuff. A pretty decent 38-39 Ford truck cab with doors, fenders headlights. A 47 Fleetline all hacked up, pieces all over the place, with the three stainless ribs on the fenders.
Then there was this cab I couldn't quite figure out. The front fenders and grille were there by it and the grill knda resembled a 40 Ford but fatter bars and a little taller. The cab is on it's back but appears to be a hacked off panel truck. It has part of the spare tire indentation remaining right behind the passenger door but it's definately not a Ford. Who else had a side mounted spare (late 30s I'd guess)? And with the heavy vertical grill bars?
As soon as I find out who owns the stuff I will go back and take a camera but I also plan to bring the stuff home.
My buddy picked up a windshield frame he swears is from a 33 Ford 3 window. I also fond a 33-34 Ford back fender so I'm hoping there might be more of it under the rubble.
And we aslo found what I believe to be about a 35 Dodge tudor body, pretty rough and piled full of barbed wire and steel posts. It had a Briggs body tag.
