Began dismantling a 53 junker that Maddawg and hauled back from Coleman's abt 5 yrs ago. It's a non-winch model and is an ex-Pa. game commision vehicle, it lay in the back of thier lot for at least 15yrs and is pretty well shot. Surprisingly the engine ,tranny and transfer case are in verygood shape. I can still turn the crank by hand, although stiffly.
The glove box had a brand new drain plug that i have needed for the 51 and a snorkel support bracket. The instrument cluster is in good shape and so is steering column and windshield frame.
Hood, fenders,radiator, doors and hardtop are shot. Front axle is gone and frontbumper is bent beyond use. All drive train parts are intact and in decent shape considering the exposure.
Wish there was enough left to restore but body is just to far gone, but at least it will keep the 51 going for a long time.
I'll get Maddawg to post pics. Anything that dosen't use tubes is to difficult for me to work
