Gary Lewis Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Think about what this family has going..... You'd never pick them clean in this lifetime. https://www.thedrive.com/news/house-with-nearly-300-classic-cars-on-18-acres-is-one-rough-diamond-for-400k Wow! The property is worth something, but all of those parts might be worth more - if you want to work for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelastkeg Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 Update on my hoard. My 86 4x4 is now wearing 33s. They rub a little at full lock, and certainly ride rougher, but I'm enjoying the look. The 1995 F150 extended cab is 95% parted out. Just a few miscellaneous small things left, and some of the frame. But then I bought another Ford from a friend. It's a 1994 F250 extended cab, with the 7.3 non-turbo and automatic transmission. Was running when parked by the grandmother about 9-10 years ago. Some rodent damage to wiring, and the windshield is loose which has allowed moisture inside. Engine turns over fine, but is not getting fuel. I'm expecting the windshield area to be rusted out, but I haven't investigated it yet. The floor, frame, bed, and everything that I can see is not rusted out though. I'm unsure yet if this one will be resurrected or parted out. I've had a 1952 Chevy 1.5 ton truck sitting around for several years that could really use a 7.3 diesel....

Just about right. Makes that 86 look tough. But your 52 looks a whole lot better than my 50. But mine is about to get a 235 to replace the cracked 216.

This would be me living on some acreage. I've had to sell mine due to lack of room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But mine is about to get a 235 to replace the cracked 216. That red truck with 33s is an F150 4x4 though, stock suspension. The 52 is in pretty good shape, I’ve had it running well enough to drive around the yard. The brakes don’t even try to stop it. The bed is a flimsy piece of junk, it is missing all glass, and most of the wiring is either missing or poor condition. Just another project in the long list of projects that I may or may not ever get around to. But I hope to one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are describing my 50. There is no wood in the bed, little floor in the cab, and the reason it got parked in a field is because the brakes went out.
