Other than peoples front yards that is. I know this is a longshot thread but thought I'd ask since I trapped near Little Rock for a couple weeks.

They do have the internet in Arkansas now, and high schools too. I can hardly wait to tell Bubba.

 

Just hang around and Bill can even point you to some easy cuties LOL

 

'fenders... one of the things that made visits to Arkansas unpleasant (mandatory in-law trips) was the high humidity. Mother in law lived in Ft. Smith.

My guess is that you can find a wealth of pretty rusty stuff if it is to be found at all. The little desert beauty that I drive has hidden a big ol' rusted out hole on its passenger side fender at the running board... and we have no humidity problems here.

I've spent a lot of summers in FT Smith as my family is from there. I know the humidity is terrible, but still, compared to Iowa there is ten times the old iron laying around in yards. Dry is important, but the Pacific NW has an unbelievable amount of 50s trucks. I bet 50% of the S/S I ever sold went to WA-OR-CA. I remember when I was in FT Lewis, WA one summer. I swear it rained every single day. Why do they have vintage iron? I don't quite understand how this can be.

 

mother-in-law AND humidity in the same place, bummer

 

No info on yards out that way but your having Kin there sure 'splains alot.

 

You sound like my wife. I'm tracing back my family tree. I liken it to an old majestic Oak. She's thinkin Aspen/Cottonwood.

Or That proverbial single branch.

 

fatfenders, you are right, there are a lot of old vehicles up here in Oregon. We moved here from Kansas, and I was amazed at what was being driven on the streets and highways. I think one reason is that here the culture seems a little different from what I was used to in the midwest. Quite a few people look at their car or truck for its utility value, and drive them forever. They get repaired when needed, and dont end up at the crusher. That ends up being good for restorers and rodders. In Wichita anything older than 15 years was unusual, and prone to being pulled over by the police.
I may be looking at the salvage yards in Arkansas also. We are travelling to the Ozarks in a couple of days to look at property, in case ours sells up here.

I work outside of little rock. I see at least 3 fully intact f-100 everyday. We have trucks everywhere. maybe I can help with something you are looking for. I dont really have any buddies that work on trucks so I am going it alone on my 54. call me at 501-412-2061 if you wanna make a road trip parts hunting

 

Thanks, if you see this before I call, who shall I ask for?

 

Hmmm, ...An Iowa family tree.....

I'm thinking poplar.

BWAH,HA,HA,

 

From what I remember of Iowa it would have to be Weaping Willow. They would shead with EVERY storm that came along.
