I have three spare Powerhouse generators, two double venturi carbs and two spare starters all ready to mount if needed. Same extra parts for my V8 pickup along with a complete spare set of rims for each vehicle. That's all that remains from my larger 10x20 storage unit hoard of gas tanks, more rims and other various NOS sheet metal. Wish I had kept some of it.

The problem is now in 2018 these parts we found and saved 20-40-60 years ago are no longer readily available and not too many folks are open to swap parts out. With ebay and the internet there are more people trying to make it rich quick.

I'm working on hollowing out my mattresses to save my next collection.
