what a day.....

Let me tell a little story... so I had made plans today to drive from harrisburg Pa, to new jersey to pick up an rj35. Then stop on the way home and pick up a suburban parts tractor. Simple enough right? Not the story... I was planning to leave around 9am and get there around 1130am. I didnt leave till 11am and didnt get there till almost 2pm. While picking up the rj the guy showed me a big box of wheelhorse parts and said he wanted to get them out of his garage ($40 was what he wanted for the parts). So I paid him the $40. It was for all the parts on the table in the pictures below (suburban parts including, 4front rims, a frame and hood). So I leave and am heading back towards harrisburg and end up running out of gas on the Pa turnpike with a dead cell phone. I ended up leaving my dog in the truck along the turnpike and walked through a creek and to this house in the middle of the woods. The guy was more than happy to give me a gallon of gas and a gas can (free of charge!!!). That was more than enough to get me 2 miles down the road to a rest station to fuel up. The rest of the trip home was simple. But in the end it was worth it.. I got an rj35, a suburban 400 (for parts), and a bunch of spare parts. Can anyone tell me what the sets of rims go to? They are 8inch but are different widths (see picture). Could one set be the correct ones for the rj35? Thanks ralph

Nice scores! The set of rims on the right are 35 rims, the left set is 58-60 style rims. Looks like a couple very nice gas tanks too! Looks like you got a very good deal on the stuff! :handgestures-thumbup:

The runing ot of gas part of the story and what you done about it sounds like something that would happen to me. Great score on a couple of hard to find Horses and parts.

I sure am glad the scrap metal bandit didn't come along with his truck when yours was sitting there unattended.
