If by chance you have seen a license plate, drop by NAPA. Not sure what info they can provide, but depending on state, license plate is tied more to owner than vehicle.

I see a second belt driving something off main driven 'mandrel'. Looks like it is hooked to something not in line with roller.
Variable drive? If a coiler, main mandrel driven shaft would turn faster(rpms)than wheel that may be driving spool OD.
And would change speed as coil of whatever increases in diameter. -
Looks like some kind of coiler or uncoiler for solid small round stock.
Think 1/4, 3/8 Hot rolled steel.
Not beefy enough for that. Maybe for coiling wire or cable.
Looks like that loop would be a guide for wire coming off or on a spool.-

Modern track maintenace equiptment uses the same thing.
We have built 18000# frames that pick themselves up and turn around.
Mind you thats just the frame weight so much more added and really not a hand crank to do it.1 hour ago, Larry Schramm said:If you look at the 4 minute mark on the video you will see that it is a jack to turn the car around 180degrees.

Not sure if these guys do any one off stuff, but might be worth a try.
Columbia Gear in Avon, Mn. is a large company that does as the name applies.
International Precision Machine is in Waite Park, Mn and is much smaller, and does gears and related powertrain parts.-

Have had less than 6 degrees of seperation at times but unfortunatly no 6 degrees of seperation here. Uncle Henry was on another branch of the family.
Would have been a unique experience if it was.

A play on words as usual. A barn find in my opinion is the first sight by the first person. Then it becomes a barn found. If actually in a barn of course.
A box truck find I have found is a 46 Chevy coupe 4 miles from work.
1 mile North of that sits(I think, not found yet) a 65 Riviera. 2 4BBL, A/C, leather.
And the last I have yet to find the barn is a 66 L78, 4spd Chevelle.

I am starting to think I should buy an old farm and just rotate cars every couple months.
Extra barn find value might offset land purchase price.
I would get real barn dust in the deal too.

When ever I go looking, I always seem to pick the wrong end of the rainbow.

When BNSF had actual phone lines along rails they(and others I would guess)
had the largest private phone service available. I believe all the way up into the 1990's.

Local National Guard base ran them over with a tank when decomissioned.
Then sold for scrap.
I believe the engine/trans was modular that could be swapped out as a unit.
I happen to know where there are at least 15-20 units sitting in a small personal junk yard. -
Very nice. I have a soft spot for those.
Might be a stretch. I will have to check with my dad and see if I maybe had a 'Uncle Henry'I am closer to Nevis than I am to Wayzata, but stranger things have happened I guess.

I see you are in Woodbury.
If your set on a 2dr wagon even to flip, there is one sitting on a trailer for sale about an hour NW of St Cloud.
From the road it atleast has some of its original paint.-

Some mostly forgotten great events with snow vehicles to look back on was the INTERNATIONAL 500 snowmobile races .....they were a joint Canada USA international event with the races crossing the border 500 miles absolutely grueling 4 days from Winnipeg Canada to Minneapolis USA.......from 1966 into the mid 1970s......they have tried to bring it back .....but stalled by border and customs.......the videos show some great vintage car and snowmobiles.....this video will make appreciate being warm lol.......youtube has videos of most years of the races....and they got very big in turnout numbers as the years went on......
I remember that being on local TV every year. Was a big deal then.
I have a co-worker whos dad did this in the early 70's.
Fred Jillson. Factory Chaparral rider.
Raced all over the country on snow and grass tracks in the summer.
Him and his crew pretty much invented IFS for snowmobiles back then.-

Per 1972 parts book.
66 Nova listed as SS using 3890162.
67 listed as Chevy(No Nova listing except for Mag style) using 3964523.
Same as full size 65/66.
Camaro only lists 67-68 with 350,396(no SS) using only one shown with SS emblem as 3871174
-
Looks like same part number for 65 and 66.
Difference in description is 65 lists Caprice where 66 does not.
I will look at the Camaro/Nova vesion and report back.

Do these have part numbers on them??
I will dig out my parts book and check.

Cant say for sure, but they kind of look like the aircraft landing lights my Dad had on his truck when he lived in Alaska.
Could be from a small plane.-

I havent been contacted by past owners, but I did trace my car's history back to '99.
A proven California car that made its way to Minnesota via Oregon.
This brings up another quiz.
For those that contacted former owners or were contacted by former owners, how much distance did your cars travel?I would like to know if in the '60's, '70's and '80's if they tended to stay closer in distance then later years with auctions and the Internet coming into play.

Who sells and installs solid rubber truck tires? Hopefully in the westen US or Canada.
Check with local fork lift shops.
They have all kinds of sizes, but not sure if they have something that works for these old trucks.
The sets we use for a special heavy lift vehicle require a 1/8 press fit on rims.
So rim integrity comes into play. -
First real trip I remember is summer of '76.
Brainerd, Mn to Palmer , Ak.
1967 Belair pulling a 14' Prowler camper.
Followed by a '69 GTO.
That was when the AlCan was a true 3000 or so miles of dirt.
Only mechancal issue was 2 flat tires within about 20 miles of each other.
About a 2 week plus trip.-

Winter beaters are fairly common around here. But usually cars 10-25 years old that have fully depreciated out, but still have some life left in them. Not normally a nice car that has reached "collectible" status.
Although winter is a little behind schedule here(Mn), it is time to start seeing all the B body GM's show up.
The best beater I ever had was a
'68 Delmont 88 2dr.
There is a benefit to having a 455 and low ground clearance.
Made a great snow plow with a couple sand bags in the trunk.
And I dont remember ever getting stuck.
