Art & Inspiration Sitting and Rotting.............picture thread

Judging by the looks of that steering wheel, this one was wrecked pretty good....

 

There's a place like that near me, I hiked down to it, pulled a bunch of good parts off a 54 Victoria.

 

...what's with this truck?...it almost looks like a Dodge Power Wagon front with an IH
rear body,looks like holes in the cowl for those park lites that Dodge used,.....the roofs don't line up....anybody have an idea?

 

I think you answered your own question. JW

 

That old power wagon could be a lot of fun, if finished up right. I haven't had much time for vintage tin hunting lately. But here's a cool old fire truck. Ron...

 

That's exactly what it is.

I have a collection of photos of Dodges with similar body hacks. Most of then we're open cab WWII trucks that people grafted other bodies onto. It's less usual for a civilian closed cab to get hacked like that one did, but that 4x4 chassis attracted a lot of creative uses.

 

That photo is deceiving. It's not looking down into a hole. It's looking up at a loess bank. The nose of the car is anchored in the bank. The rear bumper is hanging in space.

 

Ron,

That C60 is straight as an arrow! Lots of good parts on it that can be used for 1/2 or 3/4 ton truck! Do you know if it's a 6 or possibly a 348/409?

 

,...here's some oldies...

 

That's just downright depressing

 

Late 64 built Sprint, factory 289 4 speed bench seat car. Was in nice shape years ago, almost had it bought as my first car in the 80s, still sits there today.

 

I went to look at a 34 ford coupe and found this. I should have bought it anyway.
It's a 33 Plymouth.

 

^Yes!
On a Chevelle(?) frame, no less.

 

It had a 327 with no heads and a power glide too.

 

Sorry I didn't ask about it, being a fire truck. But I should have. Dyce I would definitely buy that Plymouth! Here is a few more finds. Ron...

 

Old thread, but spotted this taking the old lady to lunch today.

 

"Ran when parked"

 

Ron that was just bought yesterday at the Selma swap for a song. So it's not really sitting and rotting any longer

 

no kidding...looks like I shoulda gone...

 

I was going to ask what restaurant the car and old lady went to......

 

Some people are stupid.

Sent from my SM-T805Y using The H.A.M.B. mobile app

 

Did it still have name on it? My name is Bedford and I'd love something like that.

 

Should go back and get that bad boy. One of my favorite cars.

 

I the Studebaker pickup in the middle they are so ugly they are cool. It looks like a 41-47.

 

This one has almost turned to soil.

 

Nothing is as seems with those photos. That is not a tin yard full of Model A's They were a convoy of Russian Gaz Trucks destroyed German artillery or Luftwaffa circa WW2

 

Rescued this morning! Have a 9" from a 58 Ford Wagon waiting for it.
