    Then there are these two........ b400pic.jpg
     
  4. Not being a Ford guy, I'm not sure if they are A or B400's, although I'd guess B400's given the frame extension. No matter which, the rarity of either model and two of them sitting there side by side. Amazing!

  5. So its a Australian car made by General motors. Is that right?
     
  6. Thats a very old pic and has been posted on the internet many times. Those are long gone, either scrap or restored.
     
  7. I would like to own the 1937 Dodge Brothers humpback panel truck in post #10570, please....

    If you look close, you will see two very old ex Montgomery city buses.

    went back to the well yesterday. Owner wanted me to guess at the year of a Studebaker truck engine, old stuff at dianes 001.JPG old stuff at dianes 006.JPG old stuff at dianes 009.JPG T86E trans and wandered loose for a few minutes. the 1 ton stude is pretty solid, the International has been in that spot a while. and the 1/2 ton stude will be a exhibit at a tomato store

    Looks like someone bought a few surplus trucks after the war! ;) There's a Ford Blitz and a Willys Jeep in the holding yard for the local Toyota dealer. Old bloke traded them in for a new Hilux, I'll have to take a photo tomorrow.

    Some of the pics are sad, but they also give hope to those looking for their next big find at the same time! As long as the owners are reasonable.

    Man...thats some mighty interesting stuff growing on those vehicles...Looks like 40-50 years of birdshit :rolleyes: thanks for the pics. Global rotting is quite varied and your weather seems extremely tough on iron as well. I remember seeing some pics from the northwestern states and the cars had green moss all over them.

    Bad shots, but these were running and driving when they were traded in! There's probably another 10 Blitz trucks around town.
