Yeah, do you guys know anything about the building?

 

Google: Utah ore sampling company

Super cool building with some really cool history.

 

Mac, I need a set of 409 heads. Text me when you can.

Daddio,, sorry I got them....Now I need a 409 block and im ready to build mine.

 

Don't rule out 348 blocks! There are some killer stroker combos you can build getting in the high 400s

 

I hope you guys can bust ass and save as much as possible. I think I saw a small fortune in 1st gen Bronco parts in the shots.

 

ive looked at craigs for old parts in utah
couldnt find shit
now i know why

 

No lie - there's eight of them (348s) under one of the scrap piles!

 

3 sets if I'm not mistaken??? Share the love brother, share the love....

We didn't let them all go to waste. I snagged a 348 tri power motor. Trent, I haven't been ignoring you man. I got your VM. I've been sick as a dog for about a week. The only thing that got me out of bed was hunting through these parts on saturday. That made things worse of course, but oh well.

 

First off I'm assuming it's because of the dimensions why these load sideways no matter what I do, sorry...

Second, I'll try not to post stuff that's already been shown.

People talk about rust destroying things, but pigeon crap is just as bad:



Signs:







Inside shots:

 

Lincoln Y block and a bunch of trans:



'56:



Cool wheel:



Finned drum (there were at least 6):



59A block now being used as a planter:



Hemi in the scrap pile:



Bed full of manifolds:

 

Some stuff I've drug home...

If you build trucks you know how hard it is to find straight gates. These were laying in the yard ready for the scrap pile:



Pontiac Super Duty scoop:



Olds valve covers:



Ford Big Job tach:

 

Did you get this?

If so, are there any other 64-67 body parts and would this be for sale?

Thanks,
Steve

 

No worries, we can always chat, now go get some more parts!!!!!!!!

 

Incredible amount of good parts there, as well as an overwhelming job to try and get what you can, in the short time limit. Good on you guys for getting what you can, hope you can make some money on it, and keep the extras for your own use.

 

how much time do you have?

 

Give the address out so someone else on here can go after it. That thing could be turned into a cool car hauler if nothing else. Be a shame for that to be scraped.

 

I'd start a pile that you bring items to, and then when your done picking for the day, only bother the guy once. If the prices are too high, you just move them to an area he's ok with.

 

And I've got a 409 block and a 454 crank. Good for 496 cubic inches with (obviously) some machine work. Sure you don't want to hook another brother-Eric up?

Amazing amount of cool stuff,,it's a shame you can't save more. HRP

 

Maybe Daddio just maybe....

 

I'd start filling truck beds and bringing it home, clearly you can resell a lot of stuff right off right on here to cover the costs. That Hemi would be a no brainer flip, the valve covers alone will bring what the motor would over the scale.

I sold a GMC tailgate like that for $100 no problem earlier this year and it wasn't perfect. It's 55-62 only, although it will fit stepside up to at least '66 if not right through to '87.

 

You damn tease!

Ya, that's pretty much what we're doing.

Well, we outsmarted you on this one. We took only the valve covers! LOL.... and the intake. Whats a stuck 331 industrial hemi block worth anyway?

 

Scrap weight

 

Halibrand Steve..... We did not get the vette but someone else did...Big Mac saved lots of other vette parts....Maybe one day I will learn to post pics...

 

Ya I got a phone call yesterday from the guy that bought the vette body. He said he heard all the parts to it used to be in the building. I said "yup, but they are all in my trailer now." He's on his way over tomorrow. LOL.... At least someone is thankful I grabbed all that vette crap!

 

Finally got a price from him on BIG GREEN, the cab over moving van. I'm thinking this is way WAY out of line, but please correct me if I'm wrong. He wants $6k FIRM. Yowza.

 

That's nuts!
