Driving back from my inspection visit to Mt.Olive in Mississippi I took the following photos of what a farmer had in his back 40ty. The flat head V8 is in a '46 Ford 1 Ton.

Would be good to save some of those trucks, but for some reason I feel is the type of guy who "collects" old stuff and never sells it, until he passes away and the family scraps it all.

I love seeing old trucks in a field. Most likely, nothing is for sale. Still fun to see whats been collected.

I have his number, but the guy who I talked to wished me luck dealing with him, and that I would need it to do any good, so I think you have him pegged.

Nice Wrecker Set No 7 and the USMC gas deuce (paperclips on the front bumper) would be neat to build back to original.
I think there is still an unimagineable amount of stuff still out in the woods where we can't find it. Yet.

That would make a nice estate sale. Sadly it will probably go to the scrapper when he passes on.

That stuff has not moved in a long time, the cedar growing up through the back of the wrecker is at least 12 years old. I would love to have the #7/ bomb hoist set-up.

The gasser M35 (with bed) is an early one, notice the offset wipers. The other without the bed is it a gasser too? It is hard to tell in the pics but it doesn't look to have the shorter gasser grill?????

The no bed Deuce is a non-turbo multi-fuel.

He ran the stack out the back between the set of duals on the passenger side, I think.
