Recent finds and buys

I love it when folks do engine swaps for the newer crap because it leaves the good stuff for us

 

Anthony that would look good in a 47 Merc just saying lol

 

Guy has another complete one in a storage container

 

I love the valve covers

 

Neat little (about 4 inches long) addition to the as found toy corral. Traded a 34 pewter piggy bank panel truck and a future draft pick for it. Made in US zone Germany, looks like it was destined for Bonneville.

 

Prepare the sandblaster,!

 

Nope- you can buy a shiny one off ebay, this one has likely earned this look. As found works for me.

 

Found this at a local antique store this morning. It was shoved back under stuff on a lower bench. It called to the Farmer side of me lol

 

Had many a load graded by a machine like that.

 

Local estate sale

 

Whats the copy right date on the books, I may have a full set somewhere

 

Mark I've been seeing you list lots of stuff for sale and was worried about ya, but after seeing this thread I see you're just making more room! Lol

 

I think I can remember 1962, But I cant remember this morning.

 

Picked this up over the weekend. It’s a 7” tall version of the little one sitting on the dash of my car . It had a hole in one leg and the base is cracked. Repairs are in progress

 

That’s cool. I always liked the Deora truck

 

Is this a 1953-1956 Ford F-100 steering box? If so it goes in the keeper pile. The flange that mounts to the frame somehow looks different than others I've seen in photos.

 

Nice Flathead rear radius rods, what years do they fit?

 

Can I play with this one ? Maybe way to OT , sorry .
