Saw this on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1955-...QQcmdZViewItem

 

I was just looking at that a few seconds ago. Neat looking, and it's an original MH conversion. If you can, go get it. Would be a neat truck to play with, and a real rarety to own.

 

that seems cool, i didnt understand the whole, its a great parts truck and its a great restoration truck. one or the other bub.

 

kinda rough , but i've owned worse . be cool to restore and show the mile high truck boys where it all came from .

 

My gut tells me this won't meet reserve, but ... if any of you guys end up buying this, please know that the spare pieces are probably not correct for the truck. As best I can tell from looking at the pictures, though, I think the spare front axle at minimum is correct for my trucks. I've emailed the guy asking him about it, but no response. Having the wheel(s) welded to the lug nuts suggests it might be junk but, no matter, I'd be interested in having it to add to my collection of spares. So, if you bid and buy the truck and all the pieces, please keep me in mind. Thanks.

 

I was curious about whether you had seen that or not.

 

Come down to Medford. There is, or was, a F750 or 850 M-H, sans engine, in a junkyard.

 

My gut tells me yer right, Stu.

There's another car on ebay in my hometown that didn't meet reserve, but in the background is a truck sans bed. I asked if it was for sale, and it is. I'll post the pic in case anyone can recognize it.

 

Hey Owen! How ya doin'? Can't have too much junk, right? Well, it's rather specialized junk, though, isn't it? If, as I suspect, the guy doesn't meet reserve on all this I'll do him another email to see if he'll sell the stuff separate from the truck. Who ever buys the truck, though, needs to get to know you 'cause you're the guy that has the correct spare axle!!!

 

I am going to guess it is an early 50's Chev/GMC but the ole eyes are still waking up and I am still down a few cups of coffee so I may be wrong

 

Yes, I would like to get that on down the road! I have a couple of glass bowl Holleys I am going to restore. Will try to sell them as a 2X1 set up. You have one, right? I have to finish a 2X2 flathead setup, a 3X2 y-block setup, then finish restoring a V12 Lincoln carb for a guy.

 

That's the problem with saving this stuff from the Chinese scap boats. Stuff tends to accumulate. I'll do you an email and we can talk about Holleys. Stu
