Late 50s, early 60s Chevy wheel I wanna say. Caprice/Impala? I've seen it before but I'll see what the HAMB has to say.
Random piston Need to see what the back of that chevy cover is. Old radio, I've never seen a CB with bass/treble

I'm sure that Impala wheel might be worth something, especially for someone who wants one for a restoration

idk hard to say in that condition... gets your self onto a early impala forum and sell it off or find out how much it would be worth. i dont use ebay to gage a items worth. too much fluxuation threw bidding. kinda like is every car at barret jackson worth 300k plus? no

Jimmy, please tell me you were being sarcastic. I'm not quite that dumb that I don't know what a steering wheel or any of that stuff is. :P
Anyway, yeah that's pretty awesome! So I have a '62 Impala wheel and an awesome hubcap from... Something (Look at the coloring. It's white and light blue. Sort of like a Bel-Air or Corvette, but that's certainly not from one of those. Is there any other car you can think of with that paint scheme?). I wonder what else is back there. Hopefully more pistons. I want eight of them to put in my room. EDIT: Dang... Which of the trucks in the late 60s/early 70s had that sort of paint scheme? That certainly looks like it's from a truck, and I'm 99% sure one was colored like that.

How'd that stuff get randomly out there? I say grab a metal detector. Could be some more antique car loot out there!

I'd consider it, but shipping would be too much for something in the condition it is. And I might want to keep it for myself anyway. Sorry.

1) A Huffy boys' bike, looks to be about a 17", frame/handle bars only. Same gear changer as my neighbor's old bike which looks to be from the 70s/80s, but I'm not too sure. 2) A shopping cart. It looks very retro at the bottom, and it's 95% rusted, so I'm guessing 70s/80s on it as well. 3) Scrap metal, including a segment of an 8" steel pipe (I guarantee you, if I can get that out it's worth at least $10 as scrap. It's huge.), part of a drive train (Too far out to drag it back easily), an old washtub, some strange wad of metal bars and hinges that says "Hedstrom" on it, an entire disassembled aluminum roof, an oil drum, and much, much more. 4) (Possibly) A vehicle of some sort. There's something that looks to be an axle poking up from the ground and some sort of fender protruding around part of it. It's either a tractor of some sort or a Volkswagen Beetle (Or just some coincidentally positioned scraps), and I'm 100% I can't unearth it and if I did, there's not a chance in hell it would ever run again. EDIT: From its beginning in the late 1700s (Yes, 1700s. Keep in mind I live in Georgia, so I'm not lying.) until the late 1970s, my town was strictly rural. This one lady owned my tri-neighborhood area as her farm from the early 1900s onward. In the early 90s, she sold out her land to make said three neighborhoods. Between my house, her house, and this redneck guy is about 1/3 acre that was never touched by the construction crews. So all her crap, all the redneck guy's crap, and quite possibly waste from the construction sites has piled up in that small area to go unnoticed until last Saturday, when my neighbor's cat escaped and I went back there to find him. That is how all that stuff ended up out there.

White and blue were standard Chevrolet coloring for their logos for many years. But I don't see that in the center cap. I'm leaning more towards late 70s to 80s steel wheel center cap, from one of their pickups. It's not from anything of the 50s and 60s though and it's not from a GM car, that's for sure..
Don't put it in the Camaro, these wheels are nearly 18" in diameter, way too large and awkward.

Yeah, you're probably right. This one guy on a different forum is telling me that it was a generic hubcap for their utility vehicles for some period of time, but he cannot supply pictures, so I dunno. I'm sure it's unique to one truck and not a universal thing. :/
Also, this is on Ebay right now: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1962-...Q5fAccessories I'm going to say that's about 3 times as good as mine or better, so taking from that price, I suppose it's worth about $10-$15 as it is now, and much, much more if I find the chrome piece.

yeah true, but i mean before you start saying its worth 10-15 take a few more looks around and see. also a place to look would be ndp. national parts depot to see if they sell a reproduction of that steering wheel and how much it would cost.

I'd only pay 30 at most. Still missing all the trim and horn pieces.
It's a chevy truck, but not worth jack in the shape it's in. nail it to the garage wall and admire.
