teaser


dragging out of the woods next week

my realtor gave me a hot tip

This is gonna be good.  Love 'em panels.   Take pic of it in the woods before you pull it

[mr.mindless]

something "in the woods" that is high enough quality for you to be interested is surprising.

price of free was right, and its actually surprisingly solid and all of the things missing from the front and trim from the one picture i got are stuffed in the rear.  needs a 4 hour clean out to inspect floors, no front axle or engine.  has a newer IFS stuck in the back- looks like it was prepped for a motor swap and front IFS swap, then stuck in the back yard 25 years ago.  dad died.  Daughter was happy to have it go to someone to use it or send it to someone to use it. 

took chip and I 40 minutes pavement to pavement to excavate from rear of property.  several places we had inches of clearance from property obstacles to navigate and turn a truck and trailer around in this back yard.  went smooth though with what we brought.  pics to follow, chip got a ton i didnt.

learing that there is a difference between a panel truck and panel wagon.  neat.  this thing is pretty rare.

just saw pic on FB. It's a 1954 Chevy 210 Sedan Delivery.  I am pretty confident about it.


edit: could be '53 as well

I'll have to check the FB. sounds super cool!

rear hatch opens and closes as do doors, all chrome trim inside, haven't dug too deep.  at least one possum or cat skeleton in the driver floor board and a lot of other shat inside lol 


looks to be mostly complete but no front bumper present.

drug this thing out

3 garbage bags of orgaics / bio removed from inside

scrap metal / good parts / bonus items separated out

good  backpack leaf blow job outside with respirator and other PPE

power washed entire exterior and 80% of interior.

drying in sun now.


front IFS that was removed and sitting in back now appears to be original matching unit to it.   missing wheel hubs, really wish those where there because it would be back to a roller with thos alloy BMW snows i have and look 3x value with 10-20 bolts and lug nuts.  google says its 5x4.75 same as s10/corvette/BMW.  i think thats the plan to re assemble that for now so its a roller to sell or a roller to populate for a build.

the internet is crazy

i think for 300$ this is the majic i would need lol

its like all parts included lol
