Hi all,
I made a run down to Southern New Mexico last weekend to pick up a loader tractor that I bought recently and I saw several stovebolts on my journey. In the little Community of House, I spied a fair 1954 half ton thats been there for as long as I can remember. In the Town of Fort Sumner, I did a bootleggers turn to scope out a cherry 1942 half ton truck with a for sale sign, no less. The owner came out and fired it up for me and it purred like a kitty. Tan with brown fenders, 12.5K. In Roswell, there is a yard on the North end of town that has only vintage iron. Good GMC cab, front fenders, doors, etc. and a couple of Chevys rolling in fair shape. One had great running boards and rear fenders, no doors. There are several salvage yards in Roswell and I saw lots of fatfenders hidden in there. My buddy's neighbor in Artesia had lots of 60's and 70's rolling iron and parts. I was going to visit with him for a carrier for my 48 - 3/4 ton, but it took longer to load my tractor than I anticipated. If anyone is interested in the 42, I got his number. Just e-mail me privately.
Ralph
