Rob, I could get it to Kansas City by Sunday if that would be helpful.

Regarding the speedster in the first photo...

There is a postcard on Ebay with the same photo . There is some interesting writing on the back that says the photo was taken on Oct 26, 1916 in Andover KS

Here's main street on my home town. I live two blocks from where the photo was taken and all the buildings are still there. Don't know what happened to the Model T.

I bought one from a place called The Carburetor Shop. They have a kit for the OF. Looks good but I haven't tried to install it yet.

Thanks again Donnie! I agree the rear setup is much better than the front. Auction (31).JPG Just am hoping to get the front figured out. I blew up the picture from the ad Dan Treace posted on a different thread and it looks like on this kit at least, there is a something a little more solid than ano...

So I bought this chassis with elliptical springs at the Model T Haven auction and now I’m trying to figure out what all the parts and pieces to it are. It appears to be a Model T frame with the front spring inverted and then attached to the suspension of and axle of another manufacturer. Plenty of e...

Ed, I would disagree that the auction was a disorganized mess. I was only able to stay for the first couple of hours but was surprised on how quick and efficient the auctioneers were. As for the large lots that I saw, they were opening bidding on all lots with choice so if there was anything of valu...

I stayed until noon today. I left before they got into the big piles of parts but I thought most stuff was selling cheap. All I bought was this frame with some crazy after-market springs. It has a dipped front axle and a Warford driveshaft I can use if nothing else.

I can't imagine them being able to auction all the parts Mark has in just two days. I fear a lot of it will go for scrap.

Here's another cut-away engine. This one is being auctioned in Lincoln Nebraska this weekend. Current bid is at $350.

Thanks Mark! Stan's old ruckstell website, like most things on the internet, was archived and is still around.

Les,

I could really use one. The tag on my Ruckstell is the same as the picture you posted but is in poor shape.

Thanks

Looks like beautiful spring weather! Looking forward to being there!

Well I'm very sad to see Mark has his business up for sale. I was just there a couple of weeks ago and it is an amazing collection of cars and parts. I hope he is just ready to move on to something else in life and there aren't other reasons forcing him to offer it up.

Thanks for the information everyone. I was just searching for stuff to buy on the way to Chickasha and found it on the Wichita Craigslist listings. They are asking $750 if anyone has an interest. I don't have a TT so nothing I have a need for at the moment...

This is being advertised as a Model T express bed. Can anyone confirm that is what it really is? If so, was it used on a regular Model T or a TT?

Thanks

Well that was easy!

And we can edit posts!!!!!
