I was a little surprised to read that Firestone had their own spark plug factory, dating back to at least the 30's. Didn't just brand someone...
Picked up this great Oil pump core, Flathead Caddy. It's worth a few bucks. Started scraping the barnacles off and saw this. Sigh. [ATTACH]
From a '40 Flathead, thought I would clean these up as they look great. From the inventors of the Hydraulic lifter... Good learning project too....
Who is going? Vendors are down a tad the last couple, but it's fun to see what will be dragged out this year. I just hope it's under 90 deg :)
It looks like '55 & 56 will fit (Hollander) but might anyone know if other years or divisions will work? One of the goals is to run 5 on 5 wheels....
Think this is for a Chevy truck. Poor thing! It must have a story to tell. It lived to run another day, maybe I will pull the cover & look around....
Was able to do some poking around this Holiday season in Casa Grande, AZ They had a fire in the office/storage complex about a month ago and lost...
For the late 50's GM cars, some re-pops are available but they are pricey. Has anyone found a good solution for these? A new rivet search was...
Believed to be from a '40, it is a folding 2 Dr bench. May fit other years? Will fit a Pontiac A body too. Long time dry storage so quite good...
Got me an Olds Starter solenoid. Looks like 1956 only. How different can that be from other 55 & 56 GM solenoids? Wondering what the major diff is...
Stored inside for decades, believed to be from a '40 Chevy. Would prefer not to ship but all things are possible.
PONTIAC TOO Very nice 3rd member with clean carrier & gears. 3.08 Ratio! (Open carrier) Clearly has been gone through, though I would thoroughly...
This pump was too good to pass up and I have gone through it. A couple of things that I have not seen before: Instead of a pressure valve, it has...
Here are some rocker shafts that should be returned to the wild. They came with some Buick stuff but I am not sure, note the plastic buttons for...
They can be pretty handy in the field or on the road, especially if you have to make like a bear in the woods... They seem to always dry out in...
This would seem easy in the information age but... GM/AC Lifters, HL71 or 5232910. Anyone have a book? Big help!
Big, thick cast iron V8 head bolted to a big, thick block. Or a straight engine. Thin gasket material in between. How can they warp? Lots of...
Ran across this one recently out West. The drive train is missing and I was not able to look long but it was pretty cool to see in the wild. Owner...
50's Vintage 3 speed from an Olds. Bell housing will also fit Cadillacs 1949-1954. Believed to be a Olds/Pontiac Select Style sliding shift trans....
394 Olds, Look to be brand new, don't know if the factory ever used them? Very nice. Valve covers are free, you just pay what chrome would have...
Thought it is a Olds...Maybe Buick? I give up! Fits a PF7, Likely a V8
And why is it red? Photo is upside down (thanks phone) but this has a couple of us scratching... Bell housing is pretty much round too. Thanks!
Gave me this :) Been doing some cleaning around here and found it . [ATTACH]
Poked around the web & found nothing, it would be fun to resurrect this gem. Any leads for a kit?
A couple of us stopped by on the 16th & I stopped in on the 22nd on the way to Jefferson. It appears that they have been closed for a week or two....
Anyone ever been here? A HAMB search showed nutin' and it sounds like quite a place. Sounds like massive quantities of old tin. The aerial view is...
Picked this stuff up at a estate sale, bet it was 25 years ago. Well west of the SE WI suburbs, maybe Watertown? There was a TON of stuff, I was...
Was blessed to visit the Casa Grande yard this week. Most of the front office has been out with covid and they have little yard help. (like...
Anyone going or vending?
Could go in a flat rate box. Bought these by mistake...
