Pretty sure that is Greg Griggs place. He used to price everything by SOR pricing or higher. Unless times have changed, don't expect any windfall deals. He used to set up a "restored" truck on the way into GSMTR for years.

Boo!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would go with you Darin or John or whoever wants to. I love road trips and love digging thru places like that. I use to do it all the time with Old Mercedes diesels. Seems to be a lot of MB hoarders..mainly becuase they are addicting and so cheap. I'm sure you have seen that one out by Camp Mackall Darin. I actually got 4 of them running one afternoon, the guy thought they were all crap. While negotiating what he thought was gold he sold the ones that had sat for years that I was able get running...LAME.
But anyway I could borrow a trailer but I would rather not. I REALLY REALLY do not need any projects but would love to add a 45 to the mix one day.
Also it sounds like the guy is in a real bind and at 800 depending with what else he throws in that 25 is not a bad deal. Looks rough though. By looking at that shed something tells me he needs some money for maintenance. Not to mention he states that there are some diesel engines in there. Maybe something other than a 3B. Seems to have a yellow fetish. Or maybe a lot of them came yellow not sure.
I'm in for whoever wants to go.
I'm of the old saying , Cash talk and BS walks. I walk in with some cash for some parts i do not think he will turn alot of it down.
Somewhere i remember something about a Greg Grigg along time ago, like about 20 plus years.
And Jason , I got both the open and a closed trailer.

Well if you really thought you were going to pick up a lot I could follow in my F-250 and tow one of the heavy trailers. I need to find some darn vegetable oil. The 5 gallons I get every 2 weeks now is just not cutting the mustard. I go thru that in a day.
Just let me know.
If you guys do go, and see a "reasonable" FJ55, take some pics for me, I'd still love to find one...
Disc axle and PS parts
I come home on leave in a week or so and was hoping to get some leads on a disc brake front axle and a power steering set-up for my 74 FJ40. Also, if anyone has any front seats that are in good shape, mine are in need of recovering and I have to make a decision about what to do.

Wish you would of said something sooner. Would of given us time to find one for you. Someone probably still has one laying around. I recovered my seats from the stuff SOR has and they came out nice on my 40. Shane ( Atlas1x ) had / has something also if i remember correctly.

There is a disc brake axle on one of those pictures at the forementioned haven near Tellico.
In case anyone is thinking of the chevy transmission swap route...

I've got the same thing with bellhousing but mated to a 205 back home. Just sitting on a pallet. Was going to ship it out here to put into the 40 with the 4bt. Yeah well that never happend. If anyone is interested it is already on a pallet and ready to go. Shipping would be a bitch though.

looks like CIrbo is hot on its trail. I know since he built that 40 for his buddy hes been dreaming of another 40 again... I bet he would do amazing things to this one...
No big hurry
No big hurry as the wife has my time at home well planned. I was thinking about hoarding a bit until I get home in the spring then do the work. I will try Atlas1x. Thanks,
Patrick

Ok, Well when you get it all figured out what all you need just post up here and i am sure we can find it or point you in the right dirrection. Some of us have been around these for a few years now.
Camera's on the fritz. I carry this thing around by myself. If you want i am not too sure if you are coming to the event this weekend but i can bring it and give it to someone closer to you. I got no use for this thing here.
Thanks bud, but it's too late for me on this one. I'm heading out Wednesday AM bright and early. I just substantially overloaded my trailer, but it's probably more aerodynamic than the rack anyways.
Cue Beverly Hillbillies music here.....it's a complete joke to see what my trailer looks like right now.

Then i am just going to bring this thing to the event and whoever wants can have it. Hopefully someone can find a use for it. Worked for what i needed it for.
Good luck on the trip.
