ON line Auction with lots of AD and TF and others in Nebraska
Truck auction coming up in Sidney Nebraska with a bunch of AD and TF trucks including a number of cab over trucks.
Plus you have a year to remove what you bought with free storage after you pay. If you are seriously looking for an AD or TF project or a cool OT project this is worth checking out. 20 pages. https://bidnebraska.hibid.com/catalo...oard-auction/? The town is also the home of the original Cabellas store and that is a great side trip. 1114 miles for me with an overnight stop at my son and daughter inlaws going each way at a days drive point. (Wendell Idaho). That makes it interesting.

Re: Auction with lots of AD and TF and others in Nebraska
It might be a good thing that these are too heavy to haul on my trailer. I wouldn't want the frame but have had a thinng for bullnose GMC trucks for a while.

Re: Auction with lots of AD and TF and others in Nebraska
I forgot to note that this auction is 100% online. You don't have to figure out how to get to Nebraska to bid.

Re: Auction with lots of AD and TF and others in Nebraska
I'm still betting that a number of those will cost more to go get or transport than buy. It would take about 700 bucks worth of gas to drive my 71 towing the trailer down and back.

Re: Auction with lots of AD and TF and others in Nebraska
I'm just over 500 miles away. With a year to pick up though maybe fuel prices will go down to make it a little cheaper? Or they could go the other way and really suck. I just wonder how rusty they are and the absolute worst part would be choosing just one.

Just as with anything you can't go out and look over before you buy it is buyer be wary and don't overbid. Plus factor fuel and other expenses in. The year to pick it up might cause the bids on some stuff to be higher though. I can't even count the number of times I didn't bid on somethign because the alloted pickup time didn't allow enough time to ask for time off if you did have the winning bid. The other plus for me is that I can drive to my son and daughter in laws in Wendall, play with my grandson and leave my wife there to play grandma for a couple of days while I go to Nebraska, pick the what ever up, Go Walk around Cabellas for a couple of hours and snoop their bargain room and spend time in the gun library (worth the trip if you hunt or shoot) and head back to Idaho and visit for a day or two and head home.

Re: Auction with lots of AD and TF and others in Nebraska
Holy hannah. Half of these look like they just need gas dumped down the carb and some new tires.
There are so many for sale that many of them are bound to go for cheap cheap cheap. There aren't enough car hauler trailers in the state to pick all of them up. If anyone buys one I suggest you post it to this thread. If I lived near Nebraska I don't know how I'd resist.

Re: Auction with lots of AD and TF and others in Nebraska
Well that beautiful GMC is already at $7500, so if thats any measure, the nice half tons are going to be bought by builders and turned into $60,000 full chassis patina LS rides.

Re: Auction with lots of AD and TF and others in Nebraska
Wow, what a nice yard. It's scenes like these that tell me life isn't long enough to do all the things I'd like to do. Being poor aint the worst part. It's not having enough time.
It's like walking into a singles bar and every girl there is different but equally attractive. |

Searching shows that he and his family own/owned a scrap metal outfit. That may mean that a lot of the big trucks were bought across the scale and then ended up in his collection. In the notes, it says that you don't have to take the whole rig if you don't want to. Basically meaning that if you buy a truck for the cab and nose you don't have to haul the whole truck home. For someone wanting a cab off a bigger truck for a project that may be a real deal maker. My trailer only handles about 4000 lbs and being able to leave the heavy part of the truck there rather than hau it a thousand miles just to carry the chassis across the scales. You don't see a lot of wrecks in the bunch and you don't see too many that were picked over for parts as you do in most auctions. This is the saved back stuff and I'd bet that is yard wasn't open to the public and you only got in if you were wanting to buy a complete rig.

Re: Auction with lots of AD and TF and others in Nebraska
I had that truck on my watch list as I have been wanting to build a bobber truck with a flat windshield mid/late 30's cab for years. That one looks pretty nice too.

Re: Auction with lots of AD and TF and others in Nebraska
MD020,
Man, I REALLY like the '38-40's. I had a '46 (actually had a '41 cab but that's another story) with Jag IFS & IRS and a 350/350 combo. Wish I'd kept it and I'd like to have one like this. But I'd mostly keep it stock. Lowered/improved stock suspension and a later full oil pressure straight six, preferable a 292 - if it would fit. What are your plans for it?

Re: Auction with lots of AD and TF and others in Nebraska
Did you bid on it 48?
Dan I want the biggest tire on the back I can get Hoosier Pro Street Radials 33x21.50-15LT with a 4 bar suspension, no bed, some kind of IFS front suspension. I'm going to leave it rusty |

Re: Auction with lots of AD and TF and others in Nebraska
Not on that one. I wanted lot 829 The 37 Chev that had a hoist and had the nose off a Ford pickup sitting on the back. I didn't figure it was complete enough for anyone to bid very high on it but it went for 2925. I didn't want anythng except the cab and nose and really didn't want the front fenders. It went over my limit real quick.
Bad part is that I gave away a 36 low roof cab back about 25 years ago because I didn't have anywhere to store it. I've still got the passenger door off of it because I had it off and stashed in the shed. The guy who was farming this place had a crop in the field and I couldn't get around to the back of the shed to stash the cab behind the shed at the time.

Re: Auction with lots of AD and TF and others in Nebraska
It looked solid and had the pieces I would have needed but as I said, it went out of my budget real quick when it was going to cost the larger side of a thousand to go get it. With my 71 it would have been right at 975 for gas there and back without any side trips. The good part about it was that I could drop my wife in Wendell Idaho at my son's place for a couple of days and split the trip into two days each way.

Re: Auction with lots of AD and TF and others in Nebraska
The auction is over and done but they made it pretty attractive to many of us because we had a year to pick up our purchases (had to be paid for on time though) and you were allowed to take just what you wanted off what you bought if you didn't want the whole thing as the family owns a large scrap metal business I just wanted the cab, hood and grill off number 829 with maybe the front half of the frame. I didn't want the running gear and would have probably cut the frame in two a couple of feet behind the cab or just unbolted the cab and nose and loaded them on my trailer. That because I have wanted to build a late 30's bobber truck for years and have enough left over pieces to pretty well put one together. In truth I need to finish what I have before getting sidetraced by another project. I have three serious projects going now with the 48, the 71 and a boat tail roadster project going on. The Boat tail just takes time and not a lot of money though. It is almost all left over pieces from my or other's projects and most of it was donated to the cause by friends. It will be painted up like a race car and the pinstriper/sign dude is going to get tired doing the "Thanks to" list on a back quarter.
