Went to a couple salvage yards last week

[BobT-47P15]

At a yard near Baxter Springs, KS they have this Ford former Railway

Express truck. The original color would have been green and black,

with a silver top. Probably could be purchased if anyone is interested.

I think this one is a 48 Chevy.

And a couple of old Ford cab-overs needing a lot of work.

At a different place, the fellow had recently purchased this "one-off" 47 Chevy four door convertible.

The ford looks Union Pacific yellow to me.

Could be U P......but, in this neck of the woods, it may have been owned

by some construction company.

that place should have a condemned sign on the front easement...

This is my cousin's yard. It's been there probably longer than any member of this forum has been breathing.

Jim, I will say the place is a little bit rough around the edges. But....it's a

salvage yard, what does one expect??

Your cousin probably has more 1940 Fords in his collection than most

people......I think he said he has 30-some vehicles, all 1940s. Said he

just finished up his convertible recently. He was helpful with info and

let us drive around to look at things. Nice guy.

As things have happened recently, it's now kinda tough to be in

the salvage business with prices down to about $25 per ton from

around $250 per ton.
