Event Coverage What did you buy/save in 2019?

ok this is becoming a joke because I have this old truck ADD and I keep dragging this shit home. At the end of the year I look back and think “what the fuck happened?”. It’s obvious I love 57-60 ford pickups and vintage 4x4’s in general. Lots of these were parts rigs but regardless, they were had.

So, what all did you guys beat the bushes and save this year?

 

Wow, man!

Guess I know who I'm living through vicariously next year

Fantastic haul, Chris- did any of them move onto other homes, or are you still up to your eyeballs in trucks?

 

complete 60 Pontiac catalina and a 62 390 t bird engine and a 56 GMC Pontiac 316 engine. 58 Desoto, 428 fe engine in a ot Q code 67 T bird. spartan trailer. farmall A tractor with a woods belly mower. chore master and gravely walking tractors. a half dozen chain saws. However I sold more from the hoard than I added So that's OK. My son bought a junk Power Wagon and its now at my place. And the year aint over yet. Ive got one more in the works that I cant talk about yet.

 

Only one this year, a Hudson. It was fun. But now it has a new owner.

 

Didn’t buy a damn thing, found a 64 Chrysler convertible I’m working on for the spring though. Just need to sell an off topic car and wait for it to dry up.

That is an old ford truck fetish if there ever was one! What a haul.

 

A lot of stuff that my wife calls junk.

 

Holly shit Chris! I guess I know who I am going to talk to if I ever need early F100 parts! Nice haul!

 

Just two. Both free.
49 Ford F68 (Canadian) 1 ton.

46? Plymouth 2dr. sedan.

They found me so I couldn't say no.

 

Started on this one.



Not done saving yet, but getting there.



-Abone.

 

Saved this poor little car from further butchering.



She is 2020's project.

-Abone.

 

Nothing hamb related saved this year, started tearing into my O/T 68 C10 pickup. My 33 Ford pickup is the next vehicle on the project list though once the C10 is completed. Then its full bore turning that 33 into a early 60s show rod to match the era of Taboo.

 

You need to take a road trip to Arkansas and buy my Spartan. Use it for parts? It would be a adventure!

 

A bunch of vintage oval track parts


A second Chev. Six to early ford transmission adapter and a very slightly used street/strip Clutch, Pressure plate for early Ford

 

This 61

This hood, welded but super solid

This 1926 gap shear

 

For me just my Model A Coupe It is now however running and registered in the UK -4" drop axle bought and a reversed eye spring -my job over the holidays

 

I got this 53 Pontiac Wagon this year.. I also picked up a 54 Pontiac wagon parts car.

I actually bought the rusty parts car first, then stumbled across the 53 wagon online a few weeks later.

 

that trans adapter is cool

...a year ago I told myself I'm not buying any more stuff;...well, in July this year I heard a friend's wife was wanting to liquidate her late husband's projects & parts;...had to go look;...thot least I could do is help her out,...bought a 50 Chev 1/2 ton, 49 International 1/2 ton, a 51 Stude 1/2 ton, a 41 Chevy coupe and a 46 Chevy truck cab and 2 loads of parts.
Already sold some of it,..nice to help friends out....now I'm done buying stuff...LOL

 

Had a slow year. Only got 4. It was more of a "parts" year

 

I had a slow year for vehicle purchases. Trying to focus on accumulating parts for and working on existing projects instead.
Bought the 35 chevy truck, stripped it for parts for my 36 and sold the remains. Also bought and flipped two Ot vehicles to help fund projects, and sold my 56 chevy. Just recently picked up a rough 26 T body that I didnt want or need, so it will most likely become yard art.

 

I didn’t buy much this year at all. I started the year by buying a 63 Chevy pu for my oldest son that we are trying to finish before June of 2020 so he can drive it daily. Other than that, all I bought was a 60 parts truck to go along with that 63. Oh, I guess I also bought a 63 Corvair convertible. Trying to forget that impulse buy that I regretted...

 

Been trying to corner the market on Cad 390 parts... But I did buy a nice rust free 58 big window Chevy to put it in.
