The Ford Barn

Hitchhiker · 07-14-2014, 03:27 PM

Just thought I would show you guys what I have been trucking home the last week...

Still lots of truck loads left....we aren't even to the good stuff yet...

So far I have a complete but rusty tudor with title. About 4 trucks with titles, And a T coupe, and a bunch of parts....

Just wanted you guys to know this stuff is still out there and some of us younger guys are saving them.

Matt, congratulations on your find. You must have a lot of storage area to pick up all that stuff.

I am about to checkout the same about 1-1/2 hours from me...It pays to ware car tee shirts ...A woman in her late 60's came in [Sunday] to visit her brother on the lake and stopped by for something to drink for her road trip back home.Said her husband[died 5 years ago] has a barn full of car parts and she needs to sell everything. Showed 2 complete front ends for a Model "A" outside the barn... I said WHY OUTSIDE??? No more room in the barn ! 1931 "A" and 5 other cars...Checking it out in 2 weeks and may be a mistake waiting that long //but them are the breaks...no time...went thru your pictures... nice collection of GAS TANKS... Good luck with your find... nice...

Honestly I don't. I'm stacking it to the fence line. Luckily my neighbors like me.

That's a long wait. I am not envious! I bet it's still there when you go. I've had to wait before too. sucks but sometimes it just is.

Gunmetal blue2 · 07-14-2014, 04:17 PM

That is the kind of find we dream about congratulations. Good Find.

zzlegend · 07-14-2014, 04:25 PM

Maybe I am mistaken, but it almost looks like a pair of 50 Pontiac tail lights on the back of a t coupe. Nice find.

MNFATS · 07-14-2014, 04:35 PM

Nice find. I looked at a very nice '30-31 frame on Saturday and made the deal. It had been under a hay wagon, had both axles, and was sporting '35 wheels.

Wick · 07-14-2014, 06:00 PM

Keep digging and you will find the stuff out there. I've taken a break from picking for the last 6 weeks. She's gone now I think....

My brother lives "around the corner" from you I'm sure he will "look and report back"!

Keep your eyes open for a set of 27 T Coupe Garnish Mouldings. I need a complete set less the Dashboard.
Let me know what you find.

Nice Find. been a while since I have had a nice find of a parts. really have not been looking hard for the last few years. Keep your eyes open for a nice 28-29 truck mirror head. I have a good arm, but the morror itself has eluded me so far. Rod

Will N · 07-16-2014, 07:16 AM

Now, the trick is for you to either personally use all those parts, or to actively sell them all off to people who will use them. If they go from one hoard, where they spent years in a barn to no good use, to another hoard where they await the same fate, those parts may as well have been scrapped. I trust that you will put them to good use.
