And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Both of the pickups are salvageable, though it would be easier if the missing body parts and radiator for the 1930s Chevrolet pickup can be found. The "stove bolt six" engine was in every Chevy from '29 to '53 so there's still lots around. The pickup in the background is a '41 Ford. There are lots of people recycling barn boards into tables and interior doors. Al_in_Ottawa
Minus the trucks, my aunt's barn down near Bartow, Georgia went like that. Finally , it ended up a flat pile of boards, but she'd been gone long before that.
Parts, my man, parts. You may not have enough to make a whole chicken but there's enough to make a great sandwich.
ReplyDeleteEeeeeee-bay-beee...
Deletehand me my battery impact gun, that box of nut drivers, and stand back, pilgrim...
ReplyDeleteLook at those fenders!
ReplyDeleteThe barn may be too far gone, but the truck-no way! If it can't be fully restored, there's always the "rat rod" route.
ReplyDeleteAlready has OHV 6...
ReplyDeleteThat is what caught my eye. Truck fenders suggest Ford Model A truck, but an overhead valve straight 6?
DeleteThat barn can end up on restaurant walls and that sheet metal is thick enough to drill and tap, as Remus used to say.
