John Semprez:
I have a lot of front radius rod ball caps. Did you want the spring loaded Apco type caps or the original style?
Dave,
I wish that you lived closer to me!

I wished someone lived closer so I could get rid of all this stuff. I really enjoy looking for and gathering parts, but don't enjoy having so much spread around the place.
Have you considered listing the parts on ebay? That is what I would do. Jim Patrick
Jim Patrick;
I used to list parts on Ebay steady. In fact I have sent out as many as 17 parts in one day. But the last few times I used ebay they had this xxx Pay Pal and I did not get a cent from them. I simply will not use pay Pal. I do much better on the MTFCA CLASSIFIED SECTION. I used the Vintage Ford for years but find that is somewhat slower than the MTFCA Classified section on the internet.
More freebies
I have about 10 rear springs laying around the yard, the wife says must move. They are free with any other purchase.
Lets see. About 1300 miles each way. The Expedition gets about 13mpg. That is about 100 gallons each way. At $4.50 per gallon, is about $450 gasoline alone, each way. $900 for gasoline. Plus a couple days time I don't have. I see parts I need. It might be worth it.
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2
Wayne,
Will it all fit in my Toyota Tacoma Pickup??
At least we'd average about 20 mpg. Time off to go get the stuff. . . . welllll. . . . .
But I agree, NEAT stash!

PS Maybe Terry H. can follow us in Rusty, he's got new shoes!
If I had a truck, and you were giving it all away, I'd be at your door tomorrow and take it all.
However, my living 2000 miles away, sanity, and the inability to afford a divorce prevent me from doing so.
One of the very first parts for my T I purchased from Dave 16 years ago.
I could have used the 26 fender or fenders if you had more than one. Shipping would be the only way since Indiana is not right next door.
What do you have to purchase to get something free? I have a son in Chyenne that might could pick up something.
I just found five more rear axle spring sets. You will not need to make any other purchase to pick up one or two sets. Just come get them someone. I con't seem to give them away. Also when looking for a drag link I found some more tie rods that are not in this picture.

I have just about any part, just pick out something
i'll take everything please! ...actually only in my dreams. i would take it but i'm too far away & have no room as it is. i hope it goes to good homes though.
I feel like a kid trying to reach up for that cookie that's just a little too far away.......
Take your T it gets about 25 miles per gallon.
Any one needing front axles. I didn't know I had this many until I dug them out of a pile. They are free with any purchase.
I hope no one gets mad because I plan to post more pictures of parts that I am trying to clean up the yard.
Kep,git with some other T'rs in your country,rent a shipping container,have someone load it up and send it to you all and split the cost.
I hate to see any parts go to scrap just for the sake of cleaning up.
I found some more front axles that were not in the picture above.
I will try the picture above again.
Its my fault for not being clearer, ALL THE FREE ITEMS MUST BE PICKED UP.
You could plant flowering vines around the parts and call them art,Then the wife would like them!
I wish you was closer
Mark:
I don't know about flowers but the grass has the oil pans about out of sight. I have a few 3 dip pans that would be free with a purchase of some other part. I am out of four dip pans someone from Arizona bought the last ten four dip pans that I had.
I will try the picture of some of the 3 dip pans in the grass again.
Dave, do you have any window garnish for a 26 fordor?
Thanks,
Stephen
I wish I was closer. There are a few items I am looking for, but 1300 miles is just to far. I had a trip to Montana this year, but we decided to push it out.
Stephen heatherly:
I don't have a clue what window molding for a 26 looks like. Is it the same as 25 fordor? I have a friend with a green fordoor in the picture below.
Anyone making the trip from California want some gas money in exchange for parts?
I am considering it. I knew I shouldn't have done the math. It is starting to sound worth it. Bad idea. I have a good trailer (safe for a bit over 4000 pounds. Sides on it. The Expedition to pull it. Maybe I could split the gas with a couple other Califunny guys. Couldn't be till a couple weeks after the Endurance Run, though (work and time). That would make it end of June, early July?
Can a few people PLEASE help Dave clean up his yard before I do something really dumb? I mostly need '10s to early '20s stuff. My wife would want to kill me. I might help her.
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2
I made the run to Dave's home in Colorado with a gent from the Museum last year and Mr. Huson gave us first class treatment including chocolate cake! We have his parts running around on Ts in daily use here in Dearborn. I'd include a photo of my 50th anniversary edition Econoline sitting on its jounce bumpers full of parts if the photos were on this computer. Talk about road hugging weight!
If my wife wasn't telling me I have to be there for her knee surgery, I'd be making the run again today.
Dave,
I sent you a PM. My son has offered to drive down for me.
Dave, I believe so but, I will let you know when I am sure. I have a friend who needs a good front axle for his 22 roadster. Would you be willing to ship, of course we will pay for that.
Thanks,
Stephen
Man, I wish I lived closer. I am in dire need of some good fenders, and those look quite usable/fixable. I only have one front right fender for my truck right now and the bottom attachment where it bolts to the running board is barely still hanging on by some thin remaining pieces (I can bend the poor thing at this location). Anybody know where I can get some good fenders in NYS? Actually, I may go post this as a separate question.

hmm, strange: double posted?
Mike Black:
I have been getting so much email I have not had the time to answer all of them. Could you send me another email of what you are interested in. Trail Ridge opened all the way to the top today and its supposed to be in the mid 80s all this week so I hope to get up to the top sometime this week. Have yur boy call befor he comes.
I was interested in a spare front and rear spring. I tried to email you through the Forum. I don't know your phone number, address, or email. Please provide me with contact info by PM to: blackbird49@cox.net Thanks, Mike
Is anyone interested in any Hogs Heads, I still have a few left, many are with out pedals. My email portion of the computer is stuck so I can not answer any emails. Please phone 303-774-9246

RV Anderson:
I tried to get you by email, but my email is dead. The drag link that I took of the axle is 30 & 1/4" I hope that is the correct length that you need. I have more of them somewhere but that is the only size I could find.
Free engine pans, some NOS
Coil Boxes take one or take all, free. They will need wood.
Free cowls with any purchase. Most of these cowls are in very good condition
I gave away 14 hogs heads but I still have 10 left. they can be yours free if combined with a purchase of another part.
Hogs Heads Picture from above.
Thats still not the picture I wanted
Dave,
You are killing me!
I am so surprised noone has cleaned you out! There must be not much interest there in CO for Ts.
Matthew
You've got some good junk there! I saw several things I need. If you were in Missouri, I would be on your doorstep ASAP.

I do have walk ins that buy but there are so much Model T parts in Colorado that there is a surplus. I can think of 5 big time venders within 15 miles that have even more than I. There is not much of the early stuff here because Colorado did not have a lot wealthy people at that time. My boys father in law did not even have a car until 1932. They used a team of horses and a wagon to go to town for supplies until then. Another reason that Model T parts are hard to sell in Colorado is that almost no one is building Model Ts any more. I know well over a hundred T guys in Colorado but I know of only 3 that are rebuilding any Ts.
Even blocks are hard to sell in Colorado unless they are 26 or very early. I have a hard time getting $50.00 per block.
My computer has picked up a problem, but I will try the picture above again.
I finally found my photos from last year.
We didn't get the same gas mileage going home even though we were going from 5300 feet to 800 feet.
Tom:
Thanks for the pictures, I enjoyed having you here. i still have most of the rear axle springs you show in your picture. I think I have about a dozen left. I have been trying to foster them off when anyone walks in I would be glad to donate a couple of them to any one and they do not need to make a purchase.
