Anyone else find anything cool while traveling over the holidays?
My wife and I covered a LOT of ground. In my opinion the only good thing about winter is that the leaves are down and you can peak behind barns better. On the way home from my in-laws near Portland Maine, we stopped to check out a panel that was on a side road visable from the interstate. It was a 57 international, and it was COOL. Brown and cream. 4x4. Built in winch. SOLID looking roof rack. 60/40 front bench with a forrest of levers. 4 spd floor shift-winch-transfer case-front hubs. It used to be a Civil Defense truck. It's still sitting there with a price on the windshield, but you get the feeling he knows what he's got.
Later that week...
While visiting my parents in southern Iowa, my mother told me she'd spotted a boneyard. We went out to take a look and I couldn't believe it. I don't know what I was expecting but it sure wasn't 20 or 30 AD trucks in various states. The lot was all mowed and everything was lined up with a lot of care. It was late and there were no signs of life, so after making my mother promise to drop my info in the nearby mailboxes we left. I probably couldn't have gotten those fenders through airport security anyway.
So, here's a question... Any of you guys live in Northern Missouri? I'm going to give it a day or two, then I'll ask the same question in the general board. Looked like a bunch of goodies there that everyone in bolt-land could use, but I don't want to blab the location of someone's private stash.
If I get any info that I can share, I'll be sure to let you all know.
