Found me some tin...

[EastCoastKrawler]

Everything is easy to scrounge up around here...motors, frames, axles....bodies are almost nonexistant at a REASONABLE price. I've seen cheap (workmanship) fiberglass T tubs for $2800, a rusted '30 dodge coupe shell for $3000 and numerous other overpriced piles.

I recently put the word out for an "old car or truck, 1930's style" and lucked out...

A buddy of mine has these on his family's land in the country, they were once old logging trucks. A tree landed on the red truck smashing the cab. The black one looks like a '33 chevy passenger car cut down into a truck cab.

He said I can come get them for the scrap metal value...I have a strong feeling these are gonna follow me home in the springtime

The black one will be sweet patched up (a lot of welding and bracing) with a Chevy inline 6 and manual trans. The red truck will probably be parted out.

This stuff is still out there. Enjoy the pics he sent me!

Cool trucks. (er truck and cack, or trar), anyway they look like they should be good projects.

Nice find man the truck that the tree smashed you could make into a roadster pickup. Doug

I like the cut down Chevy thingy. Lots of wood in those but easily replaced with metal. Nice find.

I thought of that as well but it depends how bad the floor and the rest of it is. I'm not a huge fan of RPU's although there are a bunch out there that are really well done (factory and rod)! I like a roof on a truck, might be due to our winters up here


And cycledog....me too I like it, and I thought the same thing about the wood.

I'll keep u guys posted and take more pics when I go to see them soon albeit they wont follow me home until the snow is gone.
