Selling running gear and stuff model 8870 now and for the next couple weeks.

I have just bought I think a 29 chevrolet. I need to verify it's a 29 I guess and then I will be selling all or parts. It is short on body, but almost complete from the frame down. Does a JOB 8870 and a body K15021 do any good? The transmission is complete and I got the gears inside sliding by hand, I'm freeing up the shifter now.

I just came across one in a salvage yard. Complete except intake. I'm sure it's stuck. I think I'll pass it up for $100. Thanks for the information.

Don't know my oldsmobiles. What's the scoop on those 61-63 v=8's? I have seen the 215 Buicks, but not the Olds. Were they any good and is there any market? Thanks.

I pulled a water pump today. It was on a 61 nailhead. What's it worth to you?

I will look for you a pump. Yes, I also have a 60 Electra 4 door. I owned it years ago, and found again after 13 years and bought it again for $100. It was getting rough, I cut the roof off, went semi-flat black, 18" coy's and air ride. When I started rebuilding this car, I took the freeze cracked 401 a/c motor and i'll bet good trans to the crusher!! Brain not working that day. I owned a red/white int. 70 GS ram air 350 car when I was 18. Needed the oil pump kit was all. Ran very good, sold it for $600!!! Muscle cars sure were cheap in 1989. We're getting rain. It's going to delay the crushing for a few days!!!

Henderson's Salvage. Benny Henderson. Monett, MO. (mo-net). He's a little set in his ways, you have to ease into him. 38 years in business. It's my second cousin doing the crushing, He says 1 week on the first 500 they are going to do. Doing the old stuff first, cause they weigh more. There are a few scattered older cars in other sections. I recall some dynamic 88 emblems and buicks. I saw one Olds with the autronic eye on the dash. That let's you know how complete some of the cars are. I bought a white 60 Lesabre 2 door with a good front clip. My job won't let me do an inventory, I don't have time. 3000 cars here. The 61's are four doors. Bought the power seat for $25. It's $250 for most all cars, there is small handful that are a little more like a 66 chevelle for instance. (rough). I'm going to try to pull 2 60 mirror instrument clusters in the morning. Playing hookey. I hate to see 'em come back as a china 9mm wrench!!

It's in Monett. Between Springfield and Joplin. The old stuff will be all gone this week.

Yet another yard crushes. Starting with 500 of the oldest stuff this week. Southwest Missouri. Many 60's-70's Buicks and some Olds. S few Pontiacs. A couple 50's buicks and maybe a 40's or two. I bought a 60 2 door Le Sabre. Any car for $250 before they crush. There are several cars that are not picked badly. 2 61 Electras one has good w/s. I am trying to pull all the parts I can before they are gone. My time is almost up. Someone tell Wheatbelt.

Yes, I would get rid of it. I just drug in a 31 or 32 plymouth and I noticed one of the dash openings was a similar shape as this unit. It has no electricals in the rear of it. Just the key slot. Don't know what it's supposed to have, so don't know how incomplete it is. Thanks.

Please attach photo of 1 hot wife. Thanks. Love the panel, too.

Need to mount my 40's 50's dog dish hubcaps. Anyone know where to buy some spring steel clips to attach to the wheels? Thanks.

Plucked from an old salvage yard shelf. Says use with coil 21998 on front side. Anyone Know what she came from?

This is really a truck question, but since this area gets more action, I'll try here. I want to use the front axle for my 46 but the brake books don't show part numbers this far back for the 1/2 ton 2wd. I really don't want to update, want to stay vintage. Will some later year cyls. and stuff work? Or maybe will a later hub fit these spindles? (long shot). Thanks.

I want to use the 46 front I-beam axle from my Dodge, but may not be able to get brake parts. The parts stores show even with the older Wagner books that there are no part numbers for the 46 half ton 2wd trucks. I think I found that the later brake parts may be the same up to 69 or so. What should I do to find the wheel cylinders and maybe spring kits for my front axle? I can always get my shoes re-lined if I can't get shoes. Thanks, Rob.

Can get a good grille for this car. Any market for it? The driver's park lens is cracked.

My first one was a 52 chevy 2 door sedan picked up for free off a radio swap meet show. Rough, I sanded on it for 2 years off and on to no avail. Then 16 came along and I ended up getting a 66 El Camino to actually drive for $600. This was in 1986. Had a 327 with one small and one big plug head. Could have made good money fogging for mosquitos with that car. Sold the 52 for $150.

Tanks for the kind words. I've never had so much fun. Well, there was that one night....aaaaannnnyyway. I really like your 57 mister Gibson. All these old cars are cool. I love the tangiblity of them, you know, like when you peer into a 80's car in the salvage and everything has fell apart, then you go to another row and there's that 60's cad with the dash still in it and you think, I'll bet that radio still works! While staring at your car, the rear of the roofline started to resemble a 70-81 Camaro roof. Maybe it's these pops with the foam on top. Where is the U.P.? I've never been ice fishing. We use dynamite here.

done!

Ok, TG. Here's my Buick, but I don't want to be in the group with a couple of those above! Maybe the plow, I could really drink beer and plow snow in style with that thing. The sky view is when a person power washes the dirt dauber nests off of the underside of a rat rod undertaking. The subsequent posts are other pics. Enjoy, and sling as much mud at me as you want!!

The 'master was neither. Just shortening my typing requirements. And actually, it's the people on the sidewalks with the neck trouble from the young'uns trying to figure out what size the 18's are and just how many sheets of paper you can slide between the frame and road to the old fellers that just can't pin down the correct year although they remember that body style . It takes most a while to figure out it's not a real convert. This Electra in Black, (flattened urethane) was re-acquired by me 13 years removed for 100 bucks. I have, and this is very honest, $5,000 in it. Not subtracting the a/c and other not needed stuff that sold for good $ and hopefully made some other restoration one step closer. Build time, 9 months. I guess I think it doesn't fit here cause I think this is the home of the more restored original types of cars. Still like the site alot.

Thanks for the kind words, master. I DO drive my car, alot! It doesn't belong on this site, really, but me and my Electra rat i built kick maximum [censored] wherever we go. I do get kickbacks from all the local chiropractors in town. Seems all the local folk have started having neck strains lately!! I registered it with Cockerill and he liked it! He's a cool dude. Save em all!! rob.

I believe IP stands for internet protocol. Basically, the lil' piece of the vast spider web where your computer lives. But that is just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Thanks, I finally found a pic of the first cluster on the auto manuals online website. I have still to find a good pic to confirm the 35 Chev. They look really close on the vague pics I have come across. It will help when I list them for sale on Eb. Some of the guages still work believe it or not. They were found UNDER an old delivery truck in an old salvage yard. thanks for the help. I'm just too young to be able to rattle off the fitment of these old parts. However, I have been alive long enough to know you have to stand BEHIND a chicken to kick it in the kneecap. Rob.
