Title: Wanted: left for dead
Post by: burrheadcountry on October 05, 2009, 06:57:44 AM
I'm wanting to see some photo's of pre-1970's vehicles. Truck's, car's, Tractor's' Equipment, ???... Ones that you have found while hiking or just driving in the rig. Ones that have been left for dead.

This is an old White motor co. dumptruck left behind by Puget sound pulp and timber co. Near Lake Cavanaugh Washington.

Not sure what year or make of truck this is but I found it in Alaska. It has wooden spokes for rims.

Here is a 56 chevy that my Dad has left for dead in his barn. I hope one day he will rebuild it know that he is retired.

Awesome pic topic. 

One of my uncles has atleast a dozen trucks from the 20's to 40's in his back pasture.  He says he's going to get working on them when he retires. 

We had one in the woods behind our house when I was a kid that had a couple of trees growing right up through the long gone floor and roof of the car.

These are from the same place near Cavanaugh. I grew up in this area. We call it the bone yard.

Problem is with the new gate it is a little bit further of a trek to Lake Cavanaugh.

It sure was quite a trek. I walked from the gate. It was approx. eleven miles round trip. I hiked about thirteen miles that day with a couple of side trips into some places my granddad had told me about.

I found the frame of an old steam donkey.

And another.  I have an old 40's bus, and an old plymoth fury abandoned on my property up in Darrington.  They have been there for 30+ years. You can barely find them.  I will see if I have a pic.

Sorry TEX not mine to sell. Maybe you should hit up silverslayer for that cool ford with some minor body damage. The rear bumber looks to be in excellent condition.

Post by: TEX-X on October 20, 2009, 06:57:42 AM
can you imagine the look on people face if i was to drive that 70's model for around with all the bullet holes....that would be priceless....

55, 56, and 57 chevrolets are very very very hard to come by nowadays...well you can find them but the restored ones are going for a 30,000 to 50,000 bucks.... and you can find ones that are sitting in a pasture rusted out with a tree groing through the middle for 10 or 15000....if you look at the NADA blue book the price will actually go up depending on what type of tree is growing out of the middle  :rolleyes:  :chuckle:
Title: Re: Wanted: left for dead
Post by: TheSilverSlayer on October 20, 2009, 08:30:50 AM
That thing didn't have a motor in it so I'm guessing someone towed it up there after parting it out and rolled it down a hill.  The truck doesn't even have a rear axle.

My dad has a running/driving '56 four door for sale right now. He's asking $7800 for it. It's probably a 15 year old restoration. Definitely not pristine, but it has potential. I wish he'd just restore it and drive it but he's laid off so it needs to go.

I am sure some of these pictures could have come out of my Dads yard. His famous line was "it ran when I parked it and I will get to it when I retire". The best thing that ever happened at my house growing up beside curbside garbage (Dad never knew what we threw in that) was when the neighbor bought a junk yard and said " if you tow it to the road I will make it go away" We went from 23 trucks and cars on our place to 4 in just a few weeks :IBCOOL:. Dad had a fit but he never tried to replace them. He has been retired for 7 years now, and his #1 priority when he retired (1975 Cessna) is still sitting in his shop waiting for him to get to it. Never has the time but his boat 2004 boat has 2500 hours on the big motor :chuckle:. Priorities...gotta love em.

Yeah its a pretty sad thing to see all of the crap that's dumped around the woods here. I've lived here for 39 years and it just seems to get worse, even with all the gate closers.

 :stup:

If you go up into Sierra Pacific land, where the 200 intersects with the 220 there's a 40's Chev down in the bottom of that ravine.  If you hike out the trail/railroad grade to Bear Lake and Three Lakes, there's a bunch of steam machinery over the edge there.

The area behind the horse camp below Josephine was a dumping ground for stolen cars for a long time. Jackman creek road too.  Here in Whatcom county I'd say that Northfork road gets the most cars dumped on the DNR land there. There's a little S-10 on Highway 9 between VanZant and Acme that showed up a few weeks ago.

Who the hell would steel an S-10?  :bash:

i'm pretty sure that's a 1971 GTO and you could find a numbers matching fully restored one for under $25,000. maybe more if it is a judge.  :dunno:

now if i could just sh*t $25,000.   :chuckle:

If you float the Methow you won't be able to count the cars that have been left for dead.

Imagine this! Way back some time after the 1948 flood the powers to be decided to use the old junk cars for rip rap in the river to keep it from washing away more land. The benefits were, got rid of the junkers, place for the fish to live, helped stop washing. Then at a later date when the river was well littered and lots of gear grease to leak for years to come the next power to be decided to make the Methow a scenic river and they pulled a good share of the ones out that hadn't been ground up in hi waters.   That is why there is so much scrap pieces of metal in and along the river.

Idahobooner - I was thinking the same thing.  I have seen junkers used for shoring up the river banks along the Newaukum, Chehalis, Willapa, and a handful of other rivers that escape me at the moment.  Usually when salmon or steelhead fishing.  I used to think it was funny (in an odd sort of way), when we were in high school and jumping off of bridges and train trestles that one particular spot I ventured, but never jumped off the trestle, one of my friends said if you jump off the trestle stay to the left or right.  I don't remember which side, but his sound reasoning was that there were some car bodies under the water on the left or right and he said you don't want a car hood up the rectum.   

I don't ever remember anyone ever getting hurt, but still thinkg it was kind of odd that people still jumped into the river on a regular basis from 30 - 60 feet up.

Longstevo I think it has less to do with salt, around here anyway, than it has to do with the near constant dampness... After you get a good layer of green slime and some fir needles in all the groves and such it don't take very long for sheet metal to disappear.  :twocents:

Obs.... road, about 500 yards up from the corral, shot a yote there once.
