Rusty Rod, I enjoyed your post! I have had plenty of oops moments like that in the past but, your secure in knowing you can always sell them fast. I envy you younger folk. In the sixties and 70's when we needed a part for a stovebolt it was always easy to find in barn yards, swamps, salvage yards etc. It has taken my neck about 20 years to feel better from craning it so hard left and right as I drove by a farm or yard trying to see if a old truck was in the back. Get the parts while you can. There are still a good many around here, I bought a 69 for $1.00 from a friend that had it parked in his orange grove since 81. I insisted on the price (just the way things are in the Deep South). It took two weeks to break down into parts which is good because my barn yard is NOT a salvage yard. I will keep my eyes open. I believe a friend of mine with a large ranch has 3 maybe 4, 70's (+ -) on a river bank I will check this week. Doc.
