Texas Parts Stash And Hurricane Rita Pics

[STP67-72]

THIS IS A LONG POST BUT GOOD PICTURES AND A LOT OF REQUESTS

I always thought I had all my hard-to-find and NOS parts in a safe place. I had parts stashed at my shop, behind my house and at my Barn around the corner at our rent property. IT WAS ALL OKAY UNTIL....."Hurricane Rita" came to town.

Luckily our houses are okay. The majority of damage was to my shop and barn. The barn, for the time being, was converted to what I call a "Truck Barn".

All my stuff appears to be okay. I have some dented step-side rear fenders and a couple of 67-68 chevy grilles that were perfect but are now junk! I am very lucky there isn't more damaged parts.

I have both roofs back on and getting ready to start back on the red 69 swb frame off project. That particular truck didn't get a scratch! I haven't touched it since the middle of september. It was sitting beside the white ford and glad the garage door didn't blow in on it.

I am down-sizing on a lot of parts and projects. There is a person who wants most of my parts in the barn when I am ready. This man has bought about 30-40 trucks from me in the last couple of years. I told him I would give him first option before I start selling.

There is a lot of the NOS and hard-to-find parts that are not for sale: Tacks, tilts, bucket seats, beds etc.

Attached are the pictures I took as I was cleaning up. I have posted them for some guys who requested to see my goodies. I am buying a good camera and will be posting al lot of stuff for sale and ebaying a lot of it. I am taking better pictures for some guys that I owe pictures to on my other post, LOTS OF TEXAS PARTS FOR SALE.

Sorry for the delay, I am still picking up the pieces of Rita. I will reply ASAP.
I may not be able to view this site or my email each and every night. Thanks for your patience.

P.S. Tommy, (55454) I wanted to let you know I am taking care of a lot of the parts I have gotten from you over the years. Your refurbished speed warning tack and your cruise control are all high and dry.
