When you say “turning over, you mean kicking over the engine block?

I actually like old machines but I no longer can fall in love with them enough to do the work. I can imagine getting one to Beverly Hillbilly’s format for use as a farm truck....but for example, if you really found a whatever that is....a late 30’s whatever....and tried to register it, you could be looking at thousands and thousands in back reg fees here in CA. So you could drive it on a road. That’s the primitive part of my brain.

The non-primitive part says I can buy a better functioning truck (if I needed a truck in the first place) that would be
a lot more reliable and probably better in 723 ways for massively less money than I would spend hosing something one of those out. Yeah, it wouldn’t be a 1938 Chevy. Thankfully.

Yes I pushed over the block. and being a young teenager just had to trash the escaping snakes....

Ive never seen this many old rustbuckets in one spot before...and with mere inches of the two lane country road.

The back registration may be why they were abandoned as a matter of fact

“you could be looking at thousands and thousands in back reg fees here in CA.”

Get someone to lien sale it fo storage, that eliminates back fees.
