Pair of these whistles, the little boy in me had to own them and see what they sounded like, loud.

^^^That is one heck of a score!!!^^^

 

Open banjo rear end
With the front and seems to be 4 usable 16 inch wheels. I’ll keep the rear, wheels and juice brakes

 

8.50 x 16 must have been a ***** to mount on a 4 inch wheel. Can't see any damage to the rim though.

 

Cool.
Who knows. There’s hints of olive drab green on the axles and wheels. They came close to a military base

 

You know years ago when I found my Shoebox sitting in woods it had www mud grips on the back.

 

Cool
Those would work great for rear wheels.
Didn’t the cars have 16x4?

 

they’re 6-50s
Got a better look at em just now

 

Model A front with bones and rear
Some A rail chunks
41-48 complete rear and front axle with bones

and this steering, supposed to be 47 truck but looks like an F1

Might work on my A

 

Guy has these headlights
Anyone recognize em
Blinker made into the trim ring Wouldn’t sell em

 

@51 mercules I love the artwork on "The Rogues", any idea what that was originally for? Super cool thing.

 

Just brought back enough stuff from a local estate to invert the leaf springs on my poor van. Mostly off-topic musclecar era stuff, but I had to share this one piece below. It'll never get used, I'll park it next to my also-NOS hubcap cable locks that turn a loose hubcap into a centrifugal nunchuck of death.

 

@Squablow - you must have a big shop!

 

Seat for the 47 Merc

 

Around 46-47 pickup parts . I had one of the axles for years. Went under a Buds , 30 pickup with V8 flathead and 5 speed

 

Big truck , I think freight liner , but not sure anymore which big truck

 

Found this clipboard in a box of things I put away years ago. Acquired it when I lived in the Southwest in the 80’s and frankly forgot I had it. Found a reference in a book about Pie Town N.M. to this dealership being around in 1953 but nothing after that.

 

I scored these from @Speedys Garage last night and ran up to Paragould to pick them up this morning. I haven’t looked at all of them because the wife has me running around helping her with Christmas but I should have at least 4 that can be snapped onto regular rims. All of them are really nice and got a great deal!!

 

Look like flying saucers!

 

LOL yeah they do don’t they

I’m going to put them on my 50 Ford convertible when I start customizing it

 

With flames,scallops and stripes

 

More stuff to take up space. The winter front is a Allen shutter. Anyone familiar with that brand? [There will be more pics after I go to this honey hole again ATTACH=full]6602727[/ATTACH]
