Thank you Silas. Your Dad has the best toys.That skid steer is perfection .😊

So many people are rebuilding, or restoring old cars, and buying them. You have rusty gold, hope your cars find homes!

[@elainephleps4705]

I bet the nieghbors are thrilled too have the junk cleaned up.

[@TruckFan542]

Suggestion: When you have time, get out your old vice and squash those pop cans just like your olden days!

[@johnrodgers9877]

Hey Silas ; With the housing shortages now , I'm sure than many homeless people would love to get their hands on one of those WC 's to convert to a tiny home !!

[@waynedavis7245]

I haven't seen a west coaster in decades. Those should be on display somewhere , I bet the kids would be fascinated by them.

Yep I’d be driving one of these to get groceries. But with a great comfy seat! 😂👍👍👍

[@villageprepper6580]

the westcoaster was a 1961 postal vehicle. I delivered mail out of one on my route from 1962 to 1970. It was one of the best choices the post office ever made. I hope you can put some of those back on the road.

[@hawaiifiles]

KInd of like watching an episode of "Hoarders". I just love watching the weird stuff you find.

That shear would look cool with risers made to support a thick glass top. Leave all the mechanics visible. Just a thought

I love those two ELECTRIC PUSH MOWERS and that green LAWN-BOY mower. I grew up using lawn-boys.. those aluminum decks will make them last forever. Seems like those little mail cars would be great for city driving.

[@johnm.5848]

Those Westcoasters were around in my younger years (4-5 years old to be exact was when I saw them) Where I lived. there were very narrow streets and the Westcoasters would run up and down them picking up mail from the mailboxes and doing general mail delivery to the homes. Seeing those brings back childhhood memories. Thank you so much for grabbing them when you did Silas.

Yes Silas that was awesome I love these kind of videos Farm clean ups, treasure hunts of any kind Rusty gold!

[@amadeo_serrano]

On the Studebaker, if you still have any left from the cleanup at the scrap yard, the windshield and door glass may well fit the wagon, as well. If so, it might make it easier to find a buyer for the wagon.

[@nathankim7664]

Woah! I've never seen so many Westcoasters all at one place! It'll make a great museum piece of USPS history! On one of the motorcycle style tags, it was last registered in 1987. 1987 is the same year when the LLVs rolled out, so it makes sense that the local Post Office retired the Westcoasters as soon as the new LLVs came. I hope to buy an LLV when they are retired and EV convert it!

[@charlespollard8923]

LLVs will not be sold to the public. The plan is to scrap them all. They had to stop reselling the AMGeneral jeeps due to them not being safe.

[@charlespollard8923]

When I started working we still had jeeps and chevettes

They’d be perfect as a performing troop in the Pasadena Doo Dah Parade! Hopefully Doo Dah parade can get back on track. Over 40 years worth of fun! PS - Great eye, totally agree with using shear base and adapting as an industrial loft table.

[@suehop1579]

i don't agree, i think it should be restored to what it is and be used- not chop shopped and converted

The part you are calling a hood Is where the heater is located. They had gasoline heaters similar to what early VW Bugs used. The heater runs on gasoline and if you look at it you will see the spark plug that fired it. I like your collection.
