Rescued Another One Today

[HillbillyTim]

Today Leathernek and I rescued a chassis. He's needing a frame and we found this one ten minutes from my house. A friend of mine has had this for 60 years, he agreed to sell, and the price was right. He loaded Leathernek's truck with a bunch of other parts including fenders, 4 wheels and some nice tires. I was lucky enough to get a couple of wheels and tires also. Overall it was a good way to kill a Saturday morning.

Those are really nice pictures. There is a story in each frame. Thank you for them.

Check out those Garfield Tires, they look like new. They should at least be on the same axle. Why don't Coker or someone them back. Mine wear like iron. Good luck!

Now that there looks like a whole lotta fun.
The group of photos would make an AWESOME calender.
...oops you'll just have to add a few more closeups of the haul.

Thanks for the comments, guys. It was a fun day with some great guys.
Here are the rest of the pics from today. The owner told us about running all over the county, when he was young, in this car.

I am glad I am not the only one that takes time to salvage things. Great fun at times, big headaches other times. Rod

NEAT FIND, love the old 601 Ford too.

The fun was today. I think the headaches are in the future for Leathernek.

Hey, I just noticed that this is my 50th post! I guess I'm no longer a lurker.

Good save. I have found that the most fun is in the retrieval itself. Yarding something out of a hidden ravine (or in Hillbilly Tims case an obscure shed) with two or three friends whether it is yours or theirs-------nothing more fun.

Excellent, the spare parts look good including a radiator even. Nice haul.

Interesting to see the front running board brackets forged and the rear ones stamped. Both sides are the same.

So what's your next move??? nice pictures.....thanks

 

[HillbillyTim]

So what's your next move???

Well, Leathernek thinks that the frame is too far gone to use under his car, if anyone has a nice '29 frame in GA, AL or TN....

He did score some good parts so it was still a great day.

Nice find. I love the feeling of finding cars and parts that have been stashed away for years.

Brent, I pumped up the first one and then had a flashback to when I had one like this blow up in my face. I found something else to do when the next one needed filling.
