    Bobpbx says "Someone Snatched The Nash"

    The body style for Chevy changed dramatically from 1966 to 1967. That was the downsize year. The '67 though had the tiny back window like the former design and the '68 on had a full size back window. I've owned in GMC & Chevy 1967,1968,1969,1970,1971....and various mid '70's. That ain't none of...

    Bobpbx says "Someone Snatched The Nash"

    I can show you a yard full of trailors to answer that from better trucks than that thing. My dad's got 'em from the 40's on up and we used to make trailors of old pickups like poppin' out biscuits to sell. After the motor's done, cut the front out from under and scrap (or weld the front solid...

    Vandalized Trestle

    I recall that thread yes, and in the end the planking seemed a sound enough solution. People were going out on these things in varying levels of decay. At the least the planking made them a little safer, if you could reason logic in that at all. So O.K., it was there and yes someone with a...

    Not bad on the residue call. The years would have needed to be very hard yes to remove oil. Never know, weather doth funny things and I've seen an oil container or two pretty dry along the way. So Going back to my dry Chem thought but yeah, a decent seal would be a staple one would think...

    Bobpbx says "Someone Snatched The Nash"

    Sorry folks, Based on this morning's revelation, I am going to have to go with the gear oil device. Toss out my original idea as well. My memory of my dad's pump was a little hazy but yes, it was a unit made to sit on top of an uncapped five gallon bucket and dispense. In the old days we...

    Bobpbx says "Someone Snatched The Nash"

    Ahhhhhhhh, Think I got it. My puzzler puzzled on this last eve' and this morning it came to me, I think. I will not rule out a dry chem duster or Jeff's sprayer, but the canister is identical (although a little heavier build) to a rig my dad had for oiling the rears in his truck. They needed...

    So what are you doing for Valentines Day?

    Good for your son! He's not crazy at all. Once you go cold you'll never grow old. Invigorating to say the least! Booo Yah, says me. I hope that he was able to raise some $$ for the cause. I do Seaside Heights in two weeks. It is the former Point Pleasant gig. 10 years running now. Be well. g.

    Southern Railroad of New Jersey

    Took the boys to the yard today to kill some time. It was a nice enough day to spend a little out of doors time. Jason is a big train fan and even a bunch of dirty, in & out of use trains in the yard was worth a look to him. Sam is always up for a junket. I got no pics any different than others...

    Pestletown

    Might as well jump in. My dad's place years ago in the '50s & '60s was a little junkyard and behind was a farmer's place that he used to retire his old vehicles to a far corner of the property. They could have been a bleed over from either. That said, no one is sure who these actually belong to...
