nice work steevee.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

Thanks! It turned out so well that I am afraid to put the carving tools in it to transport to and from the class and/or club. It sits in my bedroom now, and I built one out of plywood and painted it. I'm not worried about scratching that one! :lol:

That walnut tool chest is a work of art. When my oldest was going to school to be a machinist I had planned to buy him a high end wood machinist tool box for graduation.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

Thanks! I used hardware from Gerstner (the folks who make the nice machinist's chests) because it looks a lot better than what one may find at a wood boutique like Woodcraft or Rockler's. I made my own, though, so that it is customized for the carving tools.

I love working with wood but my skill level at it is pretty basic. Amazingly my mother still has every piece that I made in the 60's in her house including my first project a mahogany napkin holder that every student in beginners wood shop had to make on Bainbridge Island then.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

32K for what looks like a fresh build with fake patina? The way it is being sold makes me wonder if it is getting salvage yard papers on it and was "built" at a wrecking yard.

I've got a friend who does that with later model daily driver rigs he tows in and later pulls out of his impound lot. They have been inspected by the state patrol and then he does the repairs (usually engine or trans swap) and puts them out for sale and you have to finish gettng the paperwork done including having them inspected again at the state patrol office. My son bought one off him after he totaled his El Camino.

I bought 2013 GMC pickup from a copart auction. Had been hit in the back, didnt look serious from the pics. Got it here, frame was bent worse than expected, found a cutoff from one that was hit in the front, got a near new box from a guy that put on a service box for $500. All that was pretty much planned. Found out fuel pump and guage in tank was broken loose, still worked but had to be replaced, drivers seat was bent, seat belts were toast, still worked out ok just not as good as expected. Has been a great truck.

Here's a '50 5 window on copart. Again with very high value. Dolphin gauges, stock chassis on air, two-tone paint. Hit hard, too.

One of my brothers lives just outside of Eatonville but is usually busier than a one armed paper hanger in a windstorm.

I'm sure not up to dragging my trailer over the pass to get it in this weather though.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

Thank you. I just love the power of the internet.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

Normally it is where insurance companies or wholesale salvage yards list their salvage cars. Then the wrecking yards and rebuilders buy from them.

We have at least three rebuild shops in town that buy from their auctions and then rebuild the cars, a buddy of mine who has one of the better wrecking yards in the area started buying auction cars a few years ago rather than relying on impound cars as he can make a lot more profit off the newer cars he buys out of the auctions.

For a few guys on here it is where they look for their LS donors or chassis donors.

For that dealer who has a lot of cars in his "collection" it is another venue to advertise to reach a market that he normally might not reach.

This would be a nice start for someone looking for a 1947 AD truck.

Several years ago when looking for a truck project I drove around Sutherlin and found it brimming with ADs. A fellow on Sutherlin-Oakland Road was selling about a dozen AD trucks for $600 TOTAL, but you had to take them all. I didn't have storage room so I had to pass. Maybe you know him; he has a wrecking yard a couple of miles north of Sutherlin and owns a very nice 2-tone green AD pickup with a blown big block. The "Curtis for Service" used-car guy on the old highway on the south side of town has a cool patina AD too. A woman east of town was selling a super-cute 1/2-ton that drove great but was so rusted you could literally see through from one side to the other. It was actually a work of art that would get tons of attention at car shows today.

In August 1969 I was on my way to Texas to get married and pulled into a gas station around Pueblo Colorado and there were a bunch of rag tag individuals in an old bus like that headed to some event called Woodstock.

I had no idea of what a "woodstock" was and one of the gals in the group explained that they were on their way to New York state for this big concert and party. We actually got married on the Saturday of Woodstock. In McGregor Tx an not NY though.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

Well it isn't a 3100 and it isn't a short bed but it is a fairly solid looking 5 window and the price isn't bad.

I'd say that truck has been a work truck most of it's life and if you get past the dents it has it would be a good long bed project.

Price is a tad high for what it appears to be but all in all a nice little 54 GMC.

I'm not familiar with the truck so it may have been brought in from outside the area.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

Has a lot of Chevrolet badges for a GMC..
I saw the ad before the pictures were added- Dynaflow transmission? Is there an adapter for that or just a colloquialism?

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

A "tad" high? To me it's crazy high.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

It is Dan but I was trying to be kind. I'd say that the seller is a flipper on a fishing expedition as neither fourspeedwagon or I know the truck and the Uhaul trailer in one photo rather says that it was hauled in from somewhere else.

There are guys around here who are heavy into the bomb lowrider thing who seem to pay more for stuff than it is worth though.

Around here it might be an honest 10/12K truck as is and that might be high.

I've given up putting a price on old stuff anymore. I have to study the asking price all over the place to have a solid idea.
