I'm happy to see you made it through that expedition with all limbs intact, all be it bruised. Lol. I grew up on a large farm in NW Arkansas and had very little money. I spent a lot of time scavenging for parts to keep our vehicles moving down the road. I guess it's the grace of God that guys like us are still breathing and can still count to ten if you know what I mean. Stay safe brother. Thanks for sharing your adventures.

I'd still grab that rooftop, and as much trim as I could get off the wreck in one piece, because those pieces are the most expensive. and with the rooftop you could repair the others'. I also like your "a shame to throw away" attitude. :) you never know who would need that part. :) and that gear is clearly off a 1ton truck, judging by the weight. XD

If there's disco brakes left on the front end of that LTD they'll be a direct swap onto that 64 wagon you have [or Galaxy 64 if you have one]. Same goes for a Gran Torino or Galaxy of that 70's era. Be cool to make a jig for bending up tube control arms of that era of front end as well [you have a tube bender right? Thought I saw one]. Cool video sir. Love the content. All great stuff to watch 🙂

Bubba i swung a tire hammer for 30 years , but back in my street racing days the shop i worked at had a Manuel tire machine . While shops broke the centers out of the old Crager SS wheels , i was using the manuel changer to switch out slicks for my buddies and my self . We talking way before the rim clamp machines . Well i was going to Harbor Frieght to find a tire hammer and irons like you have and bingo they had one of the manuel machines like i used back in the day . That made a great big differance in my switching tires at home. . You may want to look into one .

Maybe they were thinking about converting that LTD into electric. Lol. I'd probly clean and rebuild that electric motor and sell it.....or take the copper out of it. That car musta been sitting there most it's life. That's some BAD rot. I mean really bad. That truck.......even worse! My gosh! The rot! Had to have been northern vehicles. My Oldsmobile Delta 88 was rotted all over too. When the wrench slipped and you hit your hand, I immediately went ooooooooo, cuz I recently did that but there was a skinny sapling stump my finger hit and it went right into my finger by my nail. Oooooo it hurt and I cussed. Lol. You got my luck. One thing goes wrong, everything goes wrong. Days like that, it's just time to call it quits and restart another day. Lol. And it's cool you actually found something on that truck that was usable. That truck is seriously stripped now.

Some truck frames aren't even marked. The R series KB1 and 2 engines, are a massive 240 cu in. Back in 1961, I had a job driving a 1 ton box with that engine.
