The shirt and cap look great. Put me down for one of each. I hope to come spend the day Saturday if the sun comes up, the creek don't rise, and I don't have to work. I answered the polls for head count and vehicle count(I am trailering my jeep) and I think yall picked a great location. Been...

Rule #1-Inspect before bidding 2-Assume the worst 3- Read the rules of GL and watch bidding awhile to learn market value 4- Start small to get familiar with paperwork and documents 5- Have a plan for getting it home You can ignore all these rules and...

I bought a NOS wiring harnes for my dodge wc and while testing it with an ohm-meter found two splices in the harnes where the solder had not made a good conection. I suppose it made contact when made but not after 50 years in a box. Otherwise it appears to be of good quality. If your...

What? Say that again. Huh? Raining tunafish. Oh, ranting 2.50. Yea, I know where you are coming from. Its not fair because I did not turn my stereo up as loud as other people did. Must have been from John Deere.

I expect they make the 10% as their gross and then have to deduct expenses. A $150 lot gives them $15 and they have to take pictures, supervise inspection, load out and collect money and do paperwork. Its easy to combine unsold lots into bigger groups for resale. Makes perfect sense to me.

I saw that truck and according to my notes it cranked up and ran good. I have space for you to store it but can't help with moving it. I am 90 miles from Ft Jackson.

The problem with the word "issues" is that it could mean you need the points filed for zero cost or it could mean the oil pan plug fell out and the engine is toast. No one on the internet can tell what he meant but the assumption is its a minor issue. Pristine could mean a total restoration...

Yesterday at Ft Jackson two average deuces went for $1940 and $1970. A nice deuce w/w and dropside went for $2700. Goodbye to cheap deuces.

I put about 3500 lbs of sand through a $99 harbor freight blaster(40 lb) to do a complete jeep from the frame up. The sand was $100 for a 3000 lb pallet from Southern Products in Hoffman,NC. The price of sand was up to about $120 last fall when I bought another pallet. I wore it out but it was...

After I wrote the above post I realized I was thinking about farm equiopment the whole time I was writing it. With trucks it would be much less of an issue but still not a recommended idea.

I've taken plenty of dirty air filters off of stopped engines and there is enough dirt around the gasket and housing to be plenty bad for the engine. If the engine is running a lot of dirt will be drawn into the engine. It may not ruin the engine but it is not good for it either. I have never...

I don't know about anyone else but I would never take a dirty air filter off any engine of mine while it was running. Or advise anyone else to.

I was pulled over and my tank checked while driving a diesel pickup about 10 or 15 years ago. In South Carolina most farmers ran off road fuel when diesel pickups first became popular. For convience, money saved, ignorance, and because no one seemed to care. Well the state started to care and...

Great pictures and beautiful work. I started with a 1964 M38A1 USMC and am now halfway on a WC63. Have a M37w/w waiting to do next. You give me hope that I will get it done. When my son started at Furman this fall I went over to Wiggington surplus in Piedmont and got a tour. Had planned to...

I just got a 416 today that I had been trying to buy from a neighbor for almost a year. It was complete and solid but had a rusty floor due to being in the rain. It just needs paint on the floor. I offered $600 but he never would sell even though it had sat in a scrap pile for 10 years. I...

A blowout is a good example of an unavoidable accident IF the tire was the proper pressure, tread, and appeared sound. Other accidents can be seen coming from a mile away, and are just waiting to happen. I'm not against his idea of saving a driver or time on this recovery. If the POS is on...

Someone told me one time that just because something can be done that doesn't mean it should be done. If the board breaks on one side, the load shifts, you lose control and kill everyone in the next lane of traffic it will sound like a really bad idea as you explain it to the officer, lawyer...

I know this thread is about worn out and fully answered BUT, I was thinking about it today and had an idea. The idea of blocking the frame is a great idea, the 2x12 channels is a good idea, the boards are a bad idea. Before I read those ideas I thought the driver could make a big yellow banner...

I would call this a bad idea.

look in salvage yard forum, do a search for Jim Henry, thread is called "visit to jim henry's place in NC"
