new to the forum, here's my story:
my great grandfathers old farmyard has a few buildings left on it, mostly full of old cars owned by my uncle's friend. behind one of the buildings theres a conestoga, so naturally i contacted the guy and asked what he needed for it, he said he was never going to get around to restoring it, and I could have it...for free... The best part is that this guy was a bodyman and all but the hood looks like its ready to be sandblasted and painted (he must have put a little time in it before putting it in the weeds)
So I think i've hit the motherlode??
I guess the first question I have is what year it is, so I decided to come here and ask how I determine that, is there a serial number database somewhere? It may be a year or two before I really start in on the restore, as I'm a farmer first, but I'm coming up with plans. If I get a chance I'll try to grab a couple pictures for you guys.. TIA
