Re: 36 V8 Pickup Radiator?
I bought a really, really solid nice one about 10 years ago at a farm sale, for 20 bucks. I figured the scrap value was that.
Glad I did:)

Re: Radial Or Bias Ply Tires

I average MAYBE 200-300 miles of driving, a year, in a good year.

That is a good price for radials.
I spent close to $290 each for Goodyear Diamond Treads about a year ago.

Re: MARC National meets
I see where Mr. Grow valued his Model A Ford at $4,000!
Big bucks for 1957 for a Model A.
