    Does anyone know who the seller is at the Hershey swap meet that brings the tractor trailer full of rusty bodies? I'm hoping to find out if its a certain company that I can check prices and availability on a body.
     
  2. are you talking about the guy, in the chocolate field,on the main road in, towards the chocolate field annex? i don't know his name, but i think my buddy has his card.
     
  3. my friend [mallomike] just got back to me. if it is that vender he is from Montana and advertises in hemmings all the time. he said to look for the large list of bodies. he will look for the card tonight when he gets home from work..

    I'm looking for something pretty beat up preferably a sedan and fairly cheap. I found a website for a couple guys from Minnesota that have some for reasonable prices but its also a 20 hour drive for me. They have a pickup cab made from a sedan for $200 which would be great but I would like a back seat. Right now I have my homebuilt roadster pickup in my avatar but I would like something I can fit my family in.

    There's usually a few bodies on CL up in NH or Maine. You'd be more like 20 hours round trip that way at least ;)

    Search craigslist in the Indiana area, probably show up on the Indianapolis list. I think the guy might actually be in Arcola??? He brings goosenecks full back from out west. I have heard mixed things about him but they look decently priced.

    Not sure if this is the guy you are talking about but you can buy ahead of time and they bring out to Hershey.

    Another HAMBr turned me on to them, havent bought anything but I'm looking.

    How come no one seems to want to make a road trip anymore? Twenty hours one way to get what I want does not seem to be a problem more like an opportunity. Who know what you will find along the way.

    I just found a glass 29 roadster for a good price and 7 hours away. If the guy calls me back I may be picking it up this weekend.

  16. Sounds like there is no bottom 3-4 inches.

    I have a pickup here better than that by a bit and a lot closer, that I have sold but the guy just tried to back out on.

    Gas here is about $5.50 a gallon so a road to to the US is bargain time!

    Still would not stop me from going if the other party had what I wanted.:)
