Rain don't stop Cat's very well, likely need a day long down pour as long as time is money and to him & his equipment big money. Maybe he would let me load the parts out of the cattle shed in my pickup though? I can wait quite a while on the cars as to move them my self.

I was wondering if I should have loaded the parts pile in my truck at the time, As how would I know if all of it showed up? I think most of it did but I remeber two radiator shells and now can only find one, the worst one. No matter realy as Phill gave me a realy nice one that will fit this radiator so just out the one DD would have got lol. The way it was loaded it could have fallen off as well.

Think I just scord on e-bay as I was biding on two tems, One rear truck wheel & tire and two rear truck wheels off the same truck that worked in a quary in RI in the WPA days, the two are cleated hard rubber wheels, anyway I got them all for the 1st bid of $25.00 each. The killer will be the freight cost and I am waiting to learn that now. Yes in the pictures they look very useable the tire one has little tread left but holds air and looks realy great. I'm getting pretty well fixed in wheels now and may get more on a bid sunday night not as good but there not what i'm biding for, will wait and see how that goes but it's in NE at least.

Well I think the deal on wheels will proceid ok and tonight I got another Model T truck or sort of lol. flat bed & rear end + front axel For $52.00 also some wheels, condition is yet to be determand. Have to pick it up about 2 hours drive south of me. So if I get it all home I got a lot for $127.00 + shiping on wheels and that is yet unknowen. a guess would be $35.00 each? or a bit more. But I belive they are worth it. I think they are very useable & dirt cheap at the $25 each. All in all a good weekend was had.

Well geting the model T truck in Genoa got rained out last week And not shure yet when I can get things lined up again, as this week looks busy till friday at the shortest time. I fianily closed the deal today on the 3 rear truck wheels. This is likely the 1st time I got stuck paying the market price for model T parts, though I was able to steal them on the last bid I ended up paying full price in geting them shiped hear, a lesson to watch out for even more than I have in the past on shiping As I thought I knew what I was doing even LOL. This was a new one on me for shure. But all is well if the wheels are as good as they looked to me. Can't say that I'm screwed but I hate paying retail on this project. But also done looking for rear T truck wheels, may want one front wheel yet for the 2nd truck so doing well at finding parts. Right now I have one compleat truck & a 2nd truck comeing along very well and a good start on a 3rd truck minis the motors & tranny for them though I do have 3 One in very poor condition an two I just don't know now the condition??

Yes in old parts, a running fleet likely a few years at best, may depend on how long I live if I see it lol. I do hope to make some good headway on one yet this year? The electricen droped off wire & pipe tubeing late in the day so I may be geting 240 to the Ford Garage this week, then my new air compressor can come home and start some serious work next week?

Did get a call from RI. the man with the 3 wheels said he got my money and would ship them today, Hope this is my last retail expenditure for theise trucks as I liked how things were going before this last deal and hope it's not a sign of things to come? Hope to try going to Genoa again this week for the $52 truck and get my grove back lol.
