    Here is the first pic. The rest are uploading. The bus is full from the front seats to the rear and up to the windows. Everything from original gaskets set for flat heads to straight 8's to spark plugs, tie rods, oil filters, bearings. You name it and it is probably there. We got there about 3 or so, was runnign out of light. Going back in the morning and spending all day going thru the stuff. Even got a very cool heater that came out of a Packard, a dual carb Fenton intake, and 1960 Bordon milk crates. There are complete sets of pistons for Lord knows what, rings, ect. Everything in it's original packaging.

    I'll take some tomm., I will be out there early. I have permission to go thru them and clean them out of everything that is salvageable. I still have about 3 or 4 old vans to go thru on the back property.

    I have I don't KNOW how many sets of rings and bundles of rings all different types. I think the AC and Champion spark plugs are for Model A's. Dad looked at them and knew what they were for and then got depressed he was old enough to know :D Most of the boxes of tie rods and such say what they are for on the back. Most of the parts are for late 20's thru 40's cars. There is also an OLD SCHOOL Distributor testing machine that I am going to get to put in the shop for looks.

    Yeah most of the boxes tell you what the stuff fits on the back. If not the part numbers can be read.
