Concerning finding car/truck parts I am one lucky guy in that area..I come across stuff all the time by pure chance,,In fact too much to write about.. BUT....One story goes like this..A number of years ago a drinking buddy and I are tearing down an old logging road in an old beater Ford .. The road is over grown with alder trees about four to five feet high..We crash head long onto something BIG!!!...We didn't get hurt but spilled our beers all over the place..The Ford shoved the object about ten feet but didn't seem to hurt anything much..We had to chop a bunch of tree out of the way to see what the hell we hit..Turned out to be a Doodlebug...A Doodlebug is a homemade tractor of sorts made from most anything...This one was 1929-1932 Chev in the front with a Model TT Ford rear..A second transmission behind the little Chev three speed had an extra sprocket that held a chain that extended up to another tranny that ran a winch from a half of a rear end from some GM type car..Anyhow we drug it back to the shop and got it running..My 1929 Chev US Mail truck had no engine so I detailed the engine from the Doodlebug up with gray paint and planted it in my old truck..At least I can still move it around under it's own power..What luck!! A fifty year old engine not froze or stuck...My truck is now going on 74 years old...Man!!!! makes me feel older than Jack Buck Benny !!...39 that is.. Al...
