Need advice on what to do with this

**jw7783** · 05-20-2014, 10:46 AM

Ok 1930 Model A frame, engine, tranny and axles for free on CL
not posted in Free section so it might be available a little longer
I need advice on what would be the best way to get this
Wheels are shot and won't roll, and I don't have a trailer.
As much as it would kill me, I'd probably have to cut it up to get it since it doesn't look like anything will want to come apart
Help!! I found it 3 min after it was posted so it still hasn't really showed up yet but I emailed and they sent me pics of it

That thing looks to be in great shape. I would try to save the whole thing, resale on that would be good. As far as loading it into the bed of a truck, the only way would be to disassemble it, if you break a bolt no big deal, just don't cut it up. Pull the engine and trans and put that in your truck, pull the rear (banjos can bring some good money) save the wheels, save the front wishbones (repros are available but some people seek out original ones). The frame should fit in the bed of your truck, build a support so it don't wreck the cab of your truck (like sideboards but only for your cab). Look up a site called the HAMB, join and list the parts for sale.

I'll ask the guy if he'd let me take it apart in his yard, thats the only issue I could see is him not wanting a stranger there for hours. And ya I don't want it for scrap, more for parts. Still trying to find someone with a trailer, it would be much easier and quicker

Rent a trailer.

My truck has no hitch, custom bumper that is welded to the frame is in the way

Hire towing company to haul it; if it's short distance should only be about $100 for a flatbed; they have winches that will pull it up. Hopefully, you have a place to store it.

I agree with the above posters; someone will probably pay decent money for every little bit of that.

What he said^^^^

Seriously thought I am sure there are some good parts to sell there, but unfortunately if it is like anything around here by the time you figure out what to do the next guy will grab it and it will be gone. I have all but given up on Free CL stuff. It just goes way too fast around here.

Kev that's exactly what happened, he asked if I was interested, said I couldn't find anyone w/ a trailer, few minutes later it was off CL

Kbob, me either

A few pieces of plywood floor and a few guys ....I'd have hand loaded that. Block separately if possible. I said before people just want stuff gone asap. No I I I or um um um. We have to jump or lose our turn . It's the market of free.
