trip to a yard

[ggdad1951]

Does anyone ever come across ignition switches or door locks while pickin?

 

without advertising...I suggest looking thru the classifieds ads...might be some stuff there!

All three of the regular yards Mark and I go to are in the Wilmar/Paynesville MN area.

so took a trip to Windy Hil yesterday.  They put up a pic of a 1.5 ton on fb they just got.  I had planned ongoing anyway, but it was icing on the cake.  When we got there I found actually they had gotten several more trucks since my last visit 3 years ago.  Oddly, many had lots of swag left: knobs, engine parts and the like.  SADLY badging had been taken alread. I did grab some of the stuff but left some for others.

 

 

the haul:

Front fenders for TODD

a reall rotten out tailgate to hang on the shop

2 matched sets of door locks/ignition (one with key)

door lock

headlight ring

B1/2 parking bucket set

B1/2 parking bucker doors

a pile of the ACME style threaded fastners

couple of center divider bars

trucks tags

full fresh air package

pile of B1/2 door handles

knobs

accessory pod with knobs

several other items

 

 

 

 

 

as well as my 39 grill from the BBQ

 

 

 

some eye candy

No ed was busy...my chebby buddy went with me.  I'd say hit both French Lake and Windy Hill.  the first is huge and well organized but has little for us, the later us a mess but has stuff for us.  I might swing out sometime and grab those PW grills just because they are cool.

A week ago we had snow and frozen ground...yesterday we found woodticks out already and (blood)thirsty!

You like those tailgates with the chute in them, don't you?

 

Nice haul, any choke knobs?

 

And on that yellow PW, you know when they put the "M" upside down, it's disrespect!

Hey Ed, instead of a "bouncy house" birthday you could get the kids a tetanus shot and let them climb over the goodies at the yard at the same time

be honest, that yellow PW......don't you see a BBQ grill?  LOL

[ggdad1951]

Yah the upside down M was upsetting....

 

And yes,  literally a grill!  my buddy wanted it for that and I said no. Lol

[ggdad1951]

Spent trick or treat morning getting me some treats.  Spoils of the pick below. I got the green Power Wagon  grill a few years back and its been hanging in on my shop wall.  A B1 grill I will swap with the bent up one on my wall for patch panels for TODD, the yellow PW grill, Truck Master 75, horn, glove box door, something special for Brent (we will see if he sees it), and panel truck rear fenders (rough but a good starting point).

No, the beat up on hung on my wall will be used for patch panels for TODD, this one goes up in its place.

FEF (rest B3D) stands for Fredrick Elsworth Fritsche...ggpas first name dadss middle my last, all the family owners.

 

TODD (street rod) stands for turbo diesel and also is the name (or so I though for 2 years without being corrected) of my friend whom I bought the modern donor engine from.

 

PUMA (COE) is the name of the shop cat that hung out on him when we first moved here.   Went missing after the carrier broke at the vet office and she ran off into the woods.  2 months later we managed to track her down and catch her and bring her home.
