Bob_Koch Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Bryan, don't need any of the parts as my '53 won't be able to use any of them, but want to thank you for making these available to all of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busywait Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 i'd only wanted to give this stuff away to a local enthusiast, but you guys are making it hard! i'm getting offers for cash, and no trades are coming in, so let me do this: i'm going to wait a little longer for that local who needs all the parts, then i'll start replying to those generous offers for individual pieces that need to be shipped (in the order they came in). i've not shipped large items like this before. any advice on carriers? how does one package things like fenders or the cab face? and stay posted, i've also uncovered a bunch of other parts. i'll upload more photos next weekend. bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob_Koch Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I've shipped running boards through FedEx ground before. also you can ship some pretty large stuff (like fenders) through Greyhound bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon(63) Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 I have shipped nose pieces through Greyhound also. Wrap in cardboard and shrink wrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firstsigns Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I'm fairly local down near Hollister. I sent you a pm with my phone number. Thanks, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msjenkins Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Speaking of parts, I have a seat frame with cushions I'll part with too. I'm just over the Sierras in Carson City, NV. I would also like to apologize, back in September I offered some leftovers for give away and then didn't give them away. My move consumed much more of my time than I thought and just could squeeze in one more non-essential task. The parts ended up going to a relative and I have no idea what he did with them. Anyway, the seat frame and springs have been cleaned and painted. The frame needs to be sanded and repainted where the seat covers snap on. The clips have scratched the paint back down to primer. I covered the seats with some thick black cotton with new burlap and foam. I did not replace the cardboard on the bottom seat so the "Firm->Soft" feature doesn't work anymore They are quite serviceable, I just wanted bucket seats instead. I don't have a picture of the seats specifically, but you can see what they look like in the attached. First come first serve. I'll help package it for shipping, if so desired but that will be a bit expensive due to the size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blohmiller Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I also have a seat frame for free needs to be covered though nothings left of the covering if no one wants it I'm probably going to trash it next week there is a steering box and column also for the taking all free just come pick up is all I ask There might be a Rear end too not sure yet if 48dodger will want it yet when we swap frames in may Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
