Here are some "old truck/car" parts... I'll c/p from the post i have in the MD thread..

"Went back to the 1/2 house that was mushed up there. Wanted to find the privy. Heck i don't even know where I'd begin there!!! the background: the ooooooooold guy who owned the place used to just dump his scrap and non-working vehicles there. His sister took it over in '26 and then moved to detroit, eventually dying. the person who owns it now must be the guy who lets us hunt the land djacent because we've hunted on same property as the house and never had an issue. Plus father in law is very strict on trespassing so would give us pure grief if we ever stepped foot on someone else's land w/o permission......

so we're back at the house after hunting in the morning and i make the announcement i'm walking my butt up there to explore.

I get there and behind the house find a long ravine. start following it, quite a few old tires (like skinny model a tires) and misc glass and misc oil cans strewn everywhere. I find another bldg and it looks like a cellar of some sort. 8' deep with crude cement blocks and all kinds of wooden doors etc just dropped in there. I find a foundation of what looks like a possible privy. white block to the surface, hunks of board strew about it and large enough for an outhouse. I dig into it a bit and all i hit is gravel and finally tires. loads of rotten tires. almost 6' of tires stacked in there. small bit away from there there seems to be a 2stall garage foundation. a large E made of the same cement block and spaced far enough apart to work on a vehicle. Nothing but hard gravel under that too...

I look over and see a couple hunks of metal on top of each other.... 2 car frames with the headlights still attached....I start looking around carefully and realize im in old car heaven.....

so this is what i find there: (these are just the things i took home). there are multiple car frames, must be close to 100 headlights, not pitted, not broken, still shiny, wheel hubs, more tired, i found a full on clutch with disc and all ad the list goes on.... next time Im bringing the pickup truck and filling it...k..the pic... "...

here are a few pics so you don't have to be following links...

couple car frames on top of each other..

Misc pic with the Stromberg and Carter..a Trico wiper motor and I hauled some stuff to the backside of the 1/2 house so I can snag it next time I get there...
Going to take all of the headlamps/car parts then dig for bottles and such...

 

[ironmountain]

the clutch parts separated and what I thought might be a dash. It's heavy, has tubes all over on the back.....also found a few differential covers...

The Stromberg.... when I get up there in a few wks, I'll be grabbing more stuff and I'll get pics.

Nice parts, they would probably bring a pretty penny on Ebay.
