I took that picture and the truck with the welder from way up the street, I should have walked over I guess. I don't know if they were going to park all the vehicles in the field for the auction or put them back inside, or haul them someplace else. They'd better put them back inside somewhere or there won't be anything left of them by auction time.

Yes, I saw somewhere that some were in Lovingston.

I would, but I don't know where it is now. I looked at what they had outside but we didn't go in the building at all.

Oh, here we go- https://www.matthewsauctions.com/current-auctions?fbclid=IwAR0LLQ5bNFhI7pPM0QuhM8CWe-u7rnq2-f5TuHo57HVJhp0MtN_tfdylGIY#AbsoluteVirtualPetrolianaAndAdvertisingAuction

From the original facebook post- "Had the privelege of touring part of the late Mark Smith's collection in the old Lynchburg foundry building. Some really interesting vehicles!"

These are some of the pictures I took. Except this one. I didn't take this, but that's a beautiful lake. This GMC 7000 appeared to be in excellent shape. The tags on it were last good in 2008.

Dispatcher Randy from where I worked sent me a link to a facebook page the other day. I'm already in the group but I hadn't seen the post. It was pictures of all these old cars and trucks that have been stored in a building in Lynchburg. The owner passed away and apparently an auction company was moving some vehicles out and checking the inventory. Some units had "do not sell" signs on them. We rode up to the lower basin in Lynchburg yesterday to take a look and be nosy. I took a few pictures, but nowhere near of everything. If you're on facebook, the link was here-https://www.facebook.com/groups/1694101117515695/?multi_permalinks=3177418775850581&ref=share Another couple was there yesterday doing the same thing we were doing, and the guy said they were going to auction the collection sometime in September or October, and the auction would be on-line as well as at the site. That's about all I know about it, I had never heard of the owner so I don't know what he did or anything. The guy we talked to yesterday said he had other buildings full of cars somewhere, and I heard he had a bunch more in Wisconsin I think it was. Here's some of the units from the facebook page- this is a wild looking machine here- The Forsyth truck was from the same company as these trucks I photographed in Winchester, Va. in 2006.

I'm sure Timmy sprayed the truck, he used leftover paint from when he painted this Freightliner so I don't know where the brush marks came from. There was a can of red paint left in the body with a stiff dried up brush stuck in it, so maybe he went over thin spots with the brush or something, I don't know. But there's still some over-spray on the glass and around the windshield trim. There was a lot on the grill too, until I rust-oleumorized it.

I finally got around to putting that new brake booster on today. So here's a girl I saw walking around in the Piggly Wiggly in Winfall. Anyway, no more vacuum leak like with the old booster- ...but I don't have much pedal now. The brakes work, and I never disconnected the brake lines from the master cylinder, but the pedal goes almost to the floor. I checked the rod coming out that goes into the master cylinder, and they were the same length. Maybe they need to be adjusted up a little, I don't know. So here's a girl drinking a Miller Lite. I like Miller Lite myself.

Great, I went to one once when they had it at the Keystone Antique Truck and Tractor Museum.

We always try to drive a couple hours south to the truck show in Colfax every fall.

wow, how'd I miss that?..but happy birthday miss Stone. That must make you the oldest person in the world, congratulations on reaching that milestone.

Oh, I hadn't thought of that. I'll just put a can of stop-leak in it. Black pepper might work too, works good in a leaking radiator.

I had a 71 F100 that I painted at home in the driveway with a brush and red implement paint from the hardware store when I lived in Appomattox. Didn't look bad at all, at least not compared to what it looked like at first 🤣

available at Amazon...

I haven't posted any updates on the old rustbucket lately, so here's the latest- my emblems that I ordered came today so I slapped them on the side. I wish they were about twice as big, then they would have covered up the other two holes from the original emblems. I should have closed the hood for the picture. Anyhow, here's a girl in a car, for no good reason. Zina from Gladys said the truck needed some stripes or something, so I said "no problem". A can of Rust-oleum later, we have stripes. I painted the grill, put some red reflector tape over the former blue oval, so now it looks like a Peterbilt oval, and painted that brush guard thing too, all with spray paint. I have a new brake booster in the shed that i'm going to put on it when I get motivated enough to do it, the old one has a constant vacuum leak so I ordered one from Rock Auto. And i'm going to look into why the rear gas tank leaks too, when I get around to it, it's too hot now. So here's a girl making lemonade. If lemonade doesn't interest you, I saw this hawk in a tree across the road one day, so I grabbed a quick picture.

I had several Scouts, I used to do some mud bogging in this one. It had a Chevrolet engine and transmission and I won some trophies with it. But I probably had as much or more fun with this old '64. It had the 152 4 cylinder, which was half of a 304. It was bored .060 over and had a little head work done by the previous owner, who used to race it. Still wasn't any kind of powerhouse, but after he moved on to something bigger (faster) I bought it- after it had been parked in the weeds for about 10 years. About all I did was get the carb. rebuilt and fixed the brakes and I was riding. I used to ride all the Westvaco logging trails between rt.24 and rt.60 when I lived in Appomattox.

Happy 4th.of July back Bob.

Yep, that's Joe Ditchkus. I yelled and flagged him down one morning not realizing that he was in the middle of a Facebook live thing.

He's into snowmobiles, wimmens, cars, girls, trucks, girls, working, and wimmens now. He said it was his first trip to Macungie in 5 years.

you're very welcome.

All the pictures have a number. They look like this on my computer. I also see the numbers on flickr, but that might just be because I posted them, I don't know. But here's Vinny, U model nut, with his fuel tank.

That's right, and it's here on this thread too, a few posts back.

That picture no. 5025 is U model nut by the way. Everybody remembers U model nut. He bought a fuel tank at the flea market and he was riding on a golf cart holding the tank. His girlfriend was riding, I guess a friend was the wheel man, or it might have been the seller just hauling the tank for him. He was just a youngster when he was a regular on here, now he's a grown ass man. I talked to him for a few minutes.
