There were actually 2 more A108s there that i saw but forgot to get pics.

They had one with 2 pop-outs but i think both were missing the latch mechanisms. I'll try and get some pics next time i go.


EDIT** How the heck do you multiquote here?? I'd like to answer multiple questions in just one post.

If you remove the screw holding the Falcon button on you will see it says Econoline underneath it. It will have a hole dead center thru the 2nd "o" in EconOline. If you were rechroming it, it could be filled in and you'd never know the difference.

Are you kidding me? NipRing, we should talk! lol! Hmm, WI isn't really THAT FAR from SK!

Thanks NipRing for the whereabouts of the junkyard. Been to the ones in Jansville and Monroe didn't know about this one.

I posted a while back on several sites and on this one in "G parts wanted" about needing 2 "G van" battery box lids and 2 of the floor flange sections they fit in to. I dont need any of the under floor box itself,just the lid and the flange it fits into. This is for a custom project and wont be underfloor battery boxes when installed on my project. If you could get me a lid and flange or better yet 2 it would be so awsome. I'll gladly pay you. The flange is the most important part as a few people have an extra lid lying around but if you find nice ones I'd love to get em.
As far as the flange goes I just need about a 2 inch area around it so I can graft it in on my project. If you cant get 2 just get whatever you can. This would be much appreciated.

Believe me Tim, I've been trying to make it work for sooo long! It's on my bucket list!

Ok, here's what i got.





New compared to the old I had.

Here's the Econo ring

Here's what I dont need = up for sale i guess. Actually i think i'm keeping the MC cover too.

Dodge pop out windows.

Two more Dodge's i didnt have pictures of before.

And last but not least...should I go back for this guy? Its kinda funky

Shouldn't have a problem getting rid of those parts, that bubble window I think is to far gone

If you havent done it already, sometimes it's not all bad to have that chunk of floor that went around the MC cover for the dual conversion. Easier than hand forming it. Pretty cool treasures in those old girls, wood cookstove , radiator out of an old Farmall maybe? be fun to see what else is stashed in that place!

The next time you go, can you check the gas pedal in the "A" with all the radiators to see if it is still good?
I could use it if it is. If any of the "A's" have a good gas tank they are worth BIG bucks, and there are guys on here looking for them. Thanks

Does the 2nd gen chevy have solid side doors? if so, I am interested

Also, please grab me those wipers if the stainless is in good shape.

Here they are. They look pretty good to me.

So we just grabbed all the batteries out of the drills in his shop's gangbox. I owe him a steak dinner. Oh, and they charged me $25 for the dog house. We got it all, including the hump in the floor.

And you didnt get me that battery box floor flange I've been begging everyone for???? Ugh...................

Why yes, yes I did. Got it this last Suturday. PM me.

there's a yard like that here locally but the old man that owns it wont let anyone get any parts under any circumstances. The old cars are just rotting away, his kids will probably crush out the yard after he passes.

What are you looking to get for the Ford Falcon horn ring setup?
