hello everyone,i was cleaning my doors in the inside tonight and i found some dirt but not too much rust, thank God,,, i found a 1944 silver quarter with all that dirt, did some research on the coin and it could be worth over 600 bucks because its rare... when i cleaned my cab before,i found a little message from the orig owner (i think) that said:'' i bought this truck in 1955, its a swell truck...what is the most interesting thing you have found in your old truck or old car?

 

When I was rebuilding my 48 Aerosedan I had a parts car that was so rusty I literally tore the floor in half. I was moving the doors and a little yellow thing fell out the bottom of one of them. I picked it up and wiped it off - it was a little plastic race car like you might have found in a cereal box in the 50's. Intrigued, I started shaking the door and a little red car dropped out!

 

Well, now I want to go look in my doors. I removed them recently but haven't opened them up at all...looks like I have a project for this afternoon. Cool finds guys.

 

i hope you can find a little extra today harier

 

I parted out a 1954 F250 a few years back and when I unbolted the upper valance for the hood latch I found taped to the horn wire a brand NEW ORIGINAL set of KEYS. PO must have put them there so they would have a set if they lost their keys!

 

I keep looking, but so far I've only found rust and dirt. Hope you do better.

 

I found a mouse nest when I set it on fire with sparks from grinding

 

The coolest thing I found was these insurance cards from 1952 showing the original owner of my Mercury truck. That led to a post here on the forum, which lead to a member putting me in contact with the family in Canada. They just sent me pictures of the truck when it was new. I hope to be able to share those soon.

 

Wow that's a cool find for sure.

 

I'm with Tom! Cool fer sure. I found the same in my '62 Mercury Meteor. Maybe I should try to contact the original owner, too.

 

Hmm... Let see... I only found an 80s Pepsi can and a 60s or 70s empty glass bottle of Budweiser.

In the 37 Airflow, I too, found a mouse's nest, as well as the dead mouse. In the glove box and attached to the steering wheel were the registration slips to the 2nd owner.

 

If there was anything stashed in my 49 it would have falllen out through the gaping rust holes long ago...

 

All I have found so far is some wood and chicken wire and bondo in the cab corners!

 

WOW Seth that was a good find. I did find a old wheat penny . I think it might be worth a dime.

 

I dont think that wheat pennies are worth that much fred.I had a bunch of
flying eagle pennies-V nickles-walking liberty halves-$20 gold piece
silver certificates & other money that my ex took from me before she split
