What would you buy?

Okay so heres the scoop I got to walk thru a hoarders yard today close to work and I have found a couple things im wanting to try to get sense hes in the mood to sell. first thing I found was a 48-52 ford cab farly solid but no means perfect. second was a reo flatbed truck that looked very good with the 20 plus years of crust growing on it sense it was moved last. third was what I believe to be a 48-52 cab over ford but not sure, kinda like the idea of a cab over car hauler just because. among this there was also probly a dozen or so 47-59 chevy trucks all 3 window not 5, a nice straight 48 ish Packard sedan, international metro from the 40s and gobs of other stuff to long to list

I like ford cabs myself,, chevys around here were a dime a dozen , there are alot of them restored here , not so much ford trucks though . Car hauler ???? could be an interesting project .

My first choice would be the cab over, then the metro. I'd take everything he's willing to sell that you can afford.

Buy the property!

wish I could. its probly 40 acres or so with stuff every where from moble homes to big city busses. I to would like the cab over myself but I kinda want to build a family rat and I don't how hard parts are to find to try and build it into a crew cab atleast that's what I would like to do to it

I would find the most complete vehicle that I liked, truck, car , whatever. The more complete, the better. Less parts to hunt down, easier to see a start to your vision, plus you can sell what you don't use to buy what you will need.

also what would you guys think be fair prices for these things, ive been told he has titles for most everything but I don't know about this old stuff

 

[Willowbilly3]

The Reo or cabover. 4 door cabovers have been done, probably just need a similar year pickup or truck cab. Check those titles and make sure they are usable. Most junkyards just saved them and didn't transfer. I have several in my drawer that are just paper because they were mucked up, stuff like the buyer filled in ect.
