Just to give you some insight. That is the Souix Ordinance Depot. It was used for ammunition storage and later became Western Nebraska Technical College that was merged with Western Nebraska Community College from Scottsbluff NE. They closed the school down. Rob Van Vleet Sr. was the owner of Convert-A-Ball trailer hitches. I used to know and work for Rob years ago.

There was a navy ordnance depot at Hastings, the bunkers are being used for businesses and housing. I think Grand Island had a munitions plant, too. Both cities had rail service by both the CB&Q (now bnsf) and union Pacific railroads.

@@granthoule7418 he’s young and has access to money and has that almighty high attitude. He needs lessons on how to deal and negotiate with us older codgers and many have a ton more money than this kid does but you’d never know it. They aren’t impressed with the younger crowds that wanna brag about what all they have and how much money is in their pocket. The number one rule to a successful negotiation with older, rich codgers that don’t look like they can pay their power bill is to be on their level!! You really have to be a chameleon. If you watch the brothers, they are not big talkers, they are not fast talkers, they are not braggers, and they don’t gloat about what they can buy or how much they can buy. You have to pick up on their style within seconds of meeting them and repeat their style otherwise you will turn them off within the first two minutes and won’t find their hood stuff, won’t get the good deals, etc. they do not like doing business with fast talking salesmen. While these guys do know what they are talking about with these old cars and trucks which is getting rare to find today, especially for pinger guys so they are to be commended for that but they’ve gotta learn how to talk to these types of folks face to face, not like they are texting or email. Sorry guys if you read this comment. You’ve got a lot of good things going for ya but you need to earn how to communicate with the older generations that made what your doing possible without offending them and I could tell that those two brothers were not impressed, especially when in the first minute of meeting them you say your gonna be their biggest buyer! Nope, they clammed up right then and there and your shot of getting any good deals that day went out the window. You don’t need to act like Richard Rawlings

@@1982MCI I’m not exactly a “Old Codger” yet but I’m pretty close and I think the one old guy was pretty rude and unless I really needed what he had or needed to preview all that rusted out mostly junk in person I would have thanked him for his time and left. I’m actually surprised there’s even much of a market for that crap and I’m sure in the next 10-20 years any of it that gets restored will return back to the state of junk that it’s in now. That’s probably why that Richard Rawlings clown has come up with the “patina” look to fool the idiots that actually can persuaded clear coated rust and dents is “cool man” so he can save on the time and expense of actually restoring all those heaps of rolling trash he sells.

Now the baton welder shop will chop down the pillar and wall/fender and frontal grille.

The 1946 color green Chevy Cab over engine has a missing part barrister chrome of the grille. Make a sheet metal and Fab it then Daytona, FL will copper it and electrocuted the mirror finish nickel chrome plated.Finally grazed the brass rod and together the rib grille is complete. Do not find rare part because it's impossible to find and to auction the grille of classic cab over truck..Simply grazed it with silver or brass rod as a old timer yourself to save time and much better cups of tea.
