MY "T" from high school days (a couple of years ago). Ended up putting a model A tranny and rear end in this rig. Had 9 speeds forward and 3 or 4 in reverse. When I went in the army, my dad gave it to a guy along with my A body for 50 bucks.

PS. I will share for a case of liquid refreshment [emoji2] or swap for bits I need.
Pinesdune,

I went to the Riverside, CA Model T Club Swap Meet in June, and the Long Beach Model T Club Swap Meet in July, and that trailer and pickup full of stuff looks like a lot of the vendors at the Swap Meets! You've got a lot of good stuff. Good luck.

By the way, what are your plans for that VW in the background?

You wouldn't want to carry to much stuff in that wheelbarrow. It probably weighs 60 pounds by itself. I had one like that once, but it had a metal wheel. It was too heavy to push around empty!

I picked up the VW at the same place for $140 for parts to help fix up the '69 I'm working on for my wife. I've already got the new floor pans in it and the heater channels are sitting ready for instal when the snow flies.

Thanks for everyone's words of encouragement

PS. The wheel barrow has been around the farm longer than I, yes it weighs at least 60 lbs. I wasn't expecting to be coming home with a load that day, it wasn't fun throwing it up on top of al that pile after I hand bombed that load on the truck haha
