Rat rod part for sure! Terry

Not sure but it could be. I want to research it more. Terry

Yes it is. Not sure about the truck behind the horse team. I also have a pic of the quarry too. There are some old cars visible in the barn behind the quarry. Looks like a happy group on the truck! Terry

Sent it to you! Terry

Bob, I tried using full version but had no success. I guess I will have to try it again. Thanks for your reply. Terry

No problem posting text to the forum but trying to post photos from my iPad doesn't seem to work. Is there any way to do this? I have little to no access to a PC. Terry

Sorry, pic won't load☹️

Found this photo recently at a local estate sale. I think it was from a quarry in Lititz PA area. The truck has a 1924 license plate on it.

That had to be one heavy freeze! Did that stuff in my youth and got wiser with age, no more of those projects for me!

1917 PA license plates are not porcelain, they are painted steel. Are you sure of the date on yours? 1915 was the last year for porcelain. Terry

Good news on the job! I can relate to your situation. In May 2012 I was stuck by an Suv that pulled in my lane from a side road. I was driving a motorcycle so the SUV was the clear winner in that meet up. I lost my right leg and had a spinal cord injury that left me paralyzed from the waist down. No more job, had to sell my old cars, and find and modify a rach house to live in. All this just before my 60th birthday. It's been 3 years and adjustment to my condition continues. As for a job, not much call for a one legged para! Hanging out here keeps me involved in the hobby. I hope your job works out well! Terry

I bought its cousin, a 1983 Z-28 new in 1983. Had a real love / hate relationship with that car! It too had the 305 w quadrajet carb setup. A great looking car for sure but was plagued with many bugs that made driving it frustrating at times. You can start with a clean slate here and have fun learning a lot about these cars. You sure got it for a good price! Terry

Looks similar to the setup on my 37 dodge Terry

1968 Plymouth fury. It was the high school driver training car. A massive beast! MC test was a 1972 Honda xl250, in February, in PA. I did not want to buy a second learners permit so I took the exam in Feb. darn cold day as I remember! Terry

Somewhat funny but a poor way to describe the item for sale.

I think Wayne meant motor truck, not yuck! Terry

I can't seem to copy a picture of it or get a link to the website. It is listed on Etsy.com, just type in Stromberg carb in the search box to see it. I'm not going to buy it so if its something you can use go for it. I think the price is reasonable for what it is. Terry

Found an old brass Stromberg carb for sale on another site and was wondering what it might have been used on. The ID listed was B no 3 and serial number of 68028. It has a glass bowl which seems unusual to me for an automotive application. If anyone knows more about it I would like to hear it! Thanks, Terry

Leonard, great to hear from you. I would be happy to show you these items sometime. I live just north of town near the Sheetz gas station. Send me a personal message for my contact information. The dealership was known as The Lititz Motor Company and owned by Frank B Burkholder. That information may help with your research to see if you are related! Terry

Great photos! Thanks for sharing. Terry

There's no auto serial number I'd on the sales receipt, but there are some PA auto registrations from the early 1920s that I have to examine closer for serial number information. I did find a trail of paperwork that seems to indicate this ford might have been replaced by another model t in the early 1920s and then that one was replaced with a new Chevrolet the late 1920s. While these paper items may not have much if any monetary value, they sure make for interesting reading. There are at least 30 receipts for repairs in the group that also show the failure items common during that time. Transmission and brake bands seem the most commonly replaced parts. Terry

(See my post of 12 /31 for photos) My wife and I are handling an estate for a deceased friend. In the tons of old paperwork we found was a receipt for the purchase of a new Ford in November 1917. The car was purchased at the dealership of Frank Burkholder in Lititz PA. Mr Burkholder also sold farm implements along with Ford automobiles as we also found a receipt for the purchase of a chicken brooder and it was written on Ford letterhead. The brooder cost $12. As for the auto, the following cost breakdown was listed: 1 Ford touring car. $360.00 Freight. $22.00 War Tax. $10.80 Shock absorbers. $10.00 Speedometer $11.00 Chains. $3.10 Tool Box. No charge Total. $427.40 Dash light. - $2.40. (Assume another n/charge acc) Total. $425.00 I don't know if the car was a 1917 or 1918 model as the purchase was finialized on November 30th. The war tax surcharge was also new to me as I had not heard of that for WW 1. I think this was neat view of the automotive buying experience nearly 100 years ago. It's surprising it's managed to survive all these years. Hope you enjoyed the look back in time. Terry

Im pretty sure it's not a 1953 model, 1952 perhaps? Terry

For sure you don't want to take it to Maaco for a paint job! Terry

Sorry, I don't know where you can find tires but I would like to congratulate you for rescuing this fine old truck! Terry
