Swap Meet Stuff

[@markpospichal1309]

Swap meets, flea markets and yard sales are all fun. I picked up a set of impact sockets on an organizer strip the other day for 5 bucks. You scored some pretty cool stuff, I enjoyed the video. Stay safe and thanks for sharing!

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

Nice find on the sockets and rail Mark, five dollars is a steal! 🙂👍 I'm glad you stopped by and have a great evening 🔧

​@@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGEdont know if youd be interested and not sure where your located so might be way out of left field and useless info for you my dad has been trying to get rid of a dodge travel queen camper its got a good running 454 big block engine and an onan generator ik very little about the generator other than it ran last time the former owner of the camper used it but ik the engine runs the camper itself is prolly scrap unless some1 specifically wanted to restore it but figured id drop you a line see if your interested in lookin at it or anything off of it

Hey pal, I saw you comment on a minivan video and I haven't stopped by in awhile so I came over and checked out your scout video. Years ago my brother picked up a 1966 Scout that the seller thought needed a clutch. He got the Scout real cheap and when we got it home we realized it was just the slave cylinder that was almost empty. In a short bit we were out four wheeling. That Scout had a 152 4 cylinder engine. IH took their 304 V8 and cut off 4 cylinders and turned an 8 cylinder into a 4 cylinder. Life has been busy and it's good to see that you are still busy. Happy Motoring.

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

That was a great buy and easy fix for you guys! 😁👍 I bet that was a fun time. Oh yeah, things have been busy with me as well. Glad to be getting back to projects and videos. Glad you stopped by my friend 🔧🔩

Really cool stuff Zane. I have the same Stanley tape in the kitchen drawer. Been there for years, the Missus is always measuring for curtains, shades or counter space for something. I also have a Proto set that go from about 1 1/2 to (I think) 2 1/2 by eighths. Fifty bucks at a flea market years ago. I could be slightly off on that, but its a great set for sure. Then before I retired a customer gave me a NOS unopened 56 Ford 3/4 ton that matches my dad's 56 down in the lean-to. Cool stuff my friend. Rainy days ARE fun shop days !!

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

Nice buy on the Proto's Wendell 😁👍 I appreciate you stopping by my friend. Yes, sometimes it's just best to stay inside and work on the shop. Cleaning or fixing the small stuff. Have a wonderful weekend 🔧🔩

[@maxnorthouse3992]

Morning Zane. Interesting what you can find at a swap meet/flea market. After lunch i am going to work on the golf cart stereo and tomorrow get the tractor ready for the tractor ride. Take care my friend.

Those are great finds Zane! I love going to yard sales and garage sales to find cheap tools too. I am always reminded of you whenever I come across a “pebble” finished plomb tool

[@CrustyRustysRestoration]

Oh dang! Some sweet finds Zane! Old tools, tins and model kits are always a score! I love me a good swap meet! Gotta find one near me seeing I don’t go to shows with work anymore. Usually my poison are the old signs, old stamped metal toys and small detail stuff like lights and visors for my cars 😁 Awesome rainy day video brother! Keep at it! 🤙🏽🤙🏽⚒️⚒️

I love older made in USA tools. Can't beat them. I also like models of vintage vehicles. Really hard to find some vehicles now. I have a GMC C10 (C15?) that I built when I was a kid, don't see them anymore. My project will look very close to it except for the color.

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

That's cool you built the kit and now you get to build the real life clone *CRR Pop!* 😎👍 I'm glad you stopped by and I hope you get some wrenching time here soon. Have a nice evening and take care 🔧🔩

Now that this video is over I'm gonna leave a comment and the smartest thing would be to jump in bed🤔. Very cool stuff you had here. I don't know if the definitions are different or just the term, but the closest one that I could think of I turned down this year 😞, even though it's fun to go to! I bet your shop looks awesome with all the tin boxes all over storing bits and pieces 👌🤠

Hey! That tape measure no. two looks exactly like one my dad had, and since I haven't thrown anything I've inherited I guess I have it around somewhere 😁. Can't really tell what brand it was out of memory, but I am pretty sure it was a combo metric and inches/feet! I grew up with that thing so I know that when I find it I will remember to put a picture up on Insta! 🤠

[@ironman3406]

Howdy sir Fun fact for you - back in the 40’s/50’s when you bought a caterpillar crawler the tool kit that was sold with it came with Armstrong branded wrenches that had Cat part numbers stamped in them. Does that armstrong wrench you got have a part number on it? I’m just curious if it’s one that was made for Cat or not. The stuff you find at a good ole swap meet!
