Default Re: Stories from the past

Great idea, and story too. Coming up on 50 years ago I attended the auction sale of our local Ford dealer. No doubt missed a lot of opportunities but I did bring home a truck load of good Ford "Junk". There was an old ten by twelve granary at the back of the lot with a lot of miscellaneous stuff they didn't even bother to auction. The shed did sell though and I offered the buyer to help clean it out. Wow, there was a lot of "N.O.S." Ford parts in there going right back to model T days. I gave him a dollar for all the "junk" and then I sold some miscellaneous model T tool to an interested by stander thus getting my purchase price back. :-) Yes, it was literally a truck load on the 59 International pickup back in the days when trucks were trucks and had an 8 and a half foot box.
