It's probably a real good thing that I don't have any money and any space to store them as I have had a bad want for a 56 Big window since the early 70's.

I am pretty sure I know the guy who has those and he buys and sells and trades all the time.

I would buy these so fast if I was setup for long hauls... Anyone want to make some $ and tow these to Northern CA??

**mr48chev** · 09-16-2020, 03:05 PM

This guys has had these pieces at the last few local swap meets I have been to and it looks like he still has them Not that bad of price for all the trinkets combined to do up a 235.

I'm not sure what the going price for Wayne valve and side covers are for a 235 but think that would eat most of his asking price up.

Looking it up the normal asking price for the Wayne valve and side covers are 340.99 https://www.ecklers.com/chevy-valve-...All%20Products

The 30-31 pickup cab in the background is what piqued my interest.

BTW, thanks for posting pics. It's frustrating when I click a link and it's already expired. It's nice to know what I missed!

**mr48chev** · 09-16-2020, 11:32 PM

I'm thinking that is the very rusted out chopped Model A sedan body that I looked at at his place several years ago. From that distance it really looks nice but get up close and it has tiny rust holes all over some of the panels. He wanted 800 for it then. It has one of the nicest chops I have ever seen on a Model A sedan though.

$7000? It is unique, but the seller doesn't understand what it takes to bring it back, or what it's worth after it's been restored. I hope he enjoys it as a yard ornament.

Can't blame a guy for trying! It'd make a fun little mini-motorhome.

short bus has some nasty connotations that exist to this day and still used as an insult. Not sure if that would add or subtract value.

I am really sick of this PC garbage. EVERYTHING is being construed as having some nasty connotation. You can't even give the "OK" sign anymore, although somebody did it during the televising of the 24 hours at LeMans yesterday. I guess he lost his job.

Being accused of riding the "short bus" is very anti - pc. An insult dating to 60+ years ago. Most PC types are too stupid to even know what it means. And yes some today have IQ's you can count on two hands.

I won't comment further, and I shouldn't have even commented to the extent that I did. This forum is about the trucks.

**mr48chev** · 09-20-2020, 11:27 PM

Well I am so old that I am pre PC and the "short Bus" that I rode to schools was bought by the district to run 24 miles down US 97 from Toppenish to the Howagner sheep ranch to pick up the Howagner kids and Two kids who lived on another sheep ranch closer to town. Then it picked up kids at three more places including my sister and I and hauled us to school. There weren't even special ed classes or classes for learning disabled in those days. That bus looks a lot more solid than most of the roached out ones I see for sale around here.

MiraclePieCo · 09-21-2020, 04:40 AM

Argh, I got sucked into a political discussion. I'm already on Liz's probation list; this is one of those times when I wish you could delete your messages on this forum!

How about a pretty picture of a truck instead?

Very good MPC!

Now, let's gt back to the C/L finds so that we don't get further away from the topic at hand.

**mr48chev** · 09-21-2020, 02:53 PM

I'd rather discuss the simple fact that if you really want to sell something, take decent photos of it.

Can't tell if it is "patina or cancer on the edge though.

Not a fan. Body lines look humpbacks. Lots of work went into it though.

Not only work, but the seller claims it took THREE cabs to make it.

nvrdone · 09-25-2020, 11:20 PM

that would be a cool place to start a build. but the lines look off - like it got squished in the middle.

Yup. The line across the roof is straight but the line at the bottom of the doors is curved upward on the ends. They got the doors wrong.

**mr48chev** · 09-26-2020, 02:52 PM

Compared to the red truck that Rich at Purple Monkey Kustoms built in FL that cab does seem a bit off alignment.
