When you seen it all yard find the bettie 32

Wow what a weekend! I was setting there minding my own buisness when the phone rang. Saturday morning RPU 28 6 or Steven as we all call him said my wife is watching chick flicks and I need to go to Lowes for some paint you want to go. Well bail out a bud when you can it pays off. I ask Steven which one' its about 30 mile to Tyler or 30 to Longview so we take the back road to Longview. We where going down the farm market road when I hear Hey Turn around theres chopped model A coupe In that yard! Well I tell Steven O.K. I am not gonna get shot over an old car! So we pull in the guy's yard and we talk to him and the first thing out of my mouth was we dont want to buy it but just check it out where quick to see it was no model A it was a 32 5 window. By this time we knew the story on the coupe the guys grand dad bought it new and his uncle died in Vietnam and his dad owned it and as a boy in the early 80's they chopped the 32 and Robert drove it of a cliff when he lost control and crashed into a canyon. Then he moved to East Texas and it set for 12 years in his yard every tin broker in the 3 state area tried to buy it. and it was not for sale. Thats O.K. I have seen them set. But he had a 17 year old daughter he wanted to build it for I understood that having my own kids. The then words were said I could not belive. I had a guy try to trade me a 55 but really would like an old truck to make this long story short I now own a 32 5 window and he has my 46 IHC. Heres some pics and Steven will post some too !P.S thanks to Billylo I have a frame hood and grille shell and fire wall and Steven I have the coupe !

Wow that's gotta be the trade of the year! Doubt that gets beat!

 

Well lets see a picture of the truck ,great score

 

Great score! Welcome to the club

 

Hey they drove my binder down the road when they came back all you could see was teeth it was like a colgate commercial and all Steven could say was duece coupe ' duece coupe ' duece coupe !!

 

Man I can't believe you were able to trade a '46 IHC truck for a Deuce. Congrats on a great score!

Hey It was no normal binder she gave me 4 years of pulling my buddies home and to the parts store !

 

Holy F*#%N' cow!!! Nothing against your IH, but that has got to be the best trade EVER in the history of trades!

Congratulations!!

 

Well everyone that wanted the car would not give visation rights! No after 12 years this guy wanted the car to go to the right home when he seen my 33 chevy he thought I could be the care taker of the ol 32 !!

 

Congratulations!

 

Thats really great, sounds like the stars were aligned just right, so glad you chose the right Lowe's to go to. Most guys would have gone to Home Depot and missed the deal.

 

Thanks I still cant belive it !

 

From what I see on the HAMB, every barn has a '32 in it. Where are you going to find another '46 Binder? The other guy sure got the better end of this deal!

That is just cool as hell, kinda like my 55 chev story.

 

Hey mine was under a cotton woood tree in a front yard no shit in plain sight and I will miss the binder ! it was in kustom classic trucks at the LSR

 

nailhead terry -

'46 IHC for a '32 5wd ... seems like a fair trade to me!

I'm a bit surprised that JeffreyJames has yet to post in this thread (re: his "POS 5wd" and how everyone else finds nicer '32 5wd bodys)

 

there are 11 Lowes within a 30 mile radius of my place. wonder how many 32's there are??

 

Wait I will get out Crystal Gear Shift Knob and look in to it no I still know there out there and with a little cosmic dust and some major luck. hold on I gotta go get a lottery ticket !!

 

Awesome man. Congrats!

 

Nice! And it's already chopped! You now need some Buick Finned brakes...

 

you must feel richer than charlie sheene , - W-I-N-N-I-N-G-

 

Nice trade!!

 

Nice score!!! What are your plans for it?

 

It would be really cool to show it to him when you get it rolling/running!

 

Cool story. Sounds like you did everything just right.
