Jail Bar pix for GB SISSON
 

Went to south Jersey yesterday for the annual Pumpkin Run. It's a nicely sized car show set amidst an old junk yard with lots of '40s to '60s iron rusting in the woods. I found the trim ring that I need for my project car and some other stuff. That kind of made up for having missed Hershey. But I also saw some jail bar Fords out in the woods. Here are some pictures for Gary:

All three appear to be heavy duty with dual rear wheels. The third picture looks like it has about 8 lugs on the wheels. The one before it has 5 lugs.

Wow, that's some jailbar yard art! Yes they all appear to be big trucks. I see some useable grill bars and a few other parts like a nice bumper, but with the current climate of old car collecting I predict they will most likely turn to soil if they don't get scrapped first. I love to come across a scene like this when in the woods. It's been a while, so thanks for sharing this collection of old iron!

Does Jersey have Copperhead snakes. sat on one in Virginia woods while playing Army for the US. Never told us about them, wondered where were their rattles? Newc

You can smell them. Don't mess with them, just leave them be.

Never mind the 3' diameter x 35' deep dug well with six rotten boards over it and some dead leaves composting on top of that.

PeteVS, thanks cause I like jail bar trucks too. Wish I had one like a friend had in 1961. A pickup with a 59a, dual carbs, chrome stacks etc. They are all cool to me.
