Salvage Yard in Minnesota

Hey GUYS, Check out this Salvage yard in Minnesota. This guys go some pretty interesting Vehicles. And some are fairly cheap too. I like this truck 1947 International Mailtruck, don't know what i'd do with it but it looks different...

That's cool! It has a lot of potential if you ask me. It would make a great truck for road trips. It's unique for sure.

That guy has a ton of stuff. Pretty easy to work with too. If you are in Wilmar, MN area check out windy hill salvage. He will not advertise his "classics" collection but to give you an idea the back of the lot is a grassy hill covered with all 20's and 30's vehicles

There's also a good sized place in Angus that had a mess of old tin a few years back.

This is what I went to get. It is a '26 or '27 Chrysler coupe that was made into a pickup cab by some farmer probably many years ago. here's a build going on over on the H--B that caught my eye. I thought I could make something similiar with this.

Here's the flip side. A BIG piece is missing. I scoured the yard for doors that I could cut up to make one to fit and look original. Unfortunately I didn't find much. The chances of snaging a door for this thing somewhere is pretty remote. Also, it is a little too antique-looking to build something with the sleekness I envisioned. So, It looks like there will be no new winter project. That's ok though as I have a number of improvements and modifications to make to some of the existing fleet.

Hey Bob,

Considering the year that's in pretty good shape.

Good Luck with it!

That place in South Dakota looks like a good place to hang out at ...... prices seem fair, too.

It's been a few years since going up to the "north woods" but there was still plenty of tin sitting around at that point.
