My free yard find! Rusty but easy restoration. Updated! - 08/04/16 02:41 PM

Gift from a local Mopar guy, thanks Rod!

It was all apart outside his garage, so I just assembled it to check for any missing parts, it is all there. beer

Now to dis-assemble & drop off at the powder coater.

Description: ID tag still there, I'll have to make sure the blaster / powder coater protects it somehow.

That's cool Barry. Shure Manufacturing has moved about 30 miles outside of St. Louis to Washington, MO, but the old address listed on your "fender tag" is 3 1/2 miles from my office.

Any idea when they moved Allen? I am curious about the approximate age.

Barry, this is straight from Google:

1901 W. Main St.
Washington, MO 63090
636-390-7100

I checked out their website also. They look like a thriving company that makes a huge variety of shelving and storage items.

Barry, don't know when they moved, but I bet a quick call to them and they would tell you.

I called them, they have been at the new address since 1995.

Pretty sure it is older than that. laugh2

They bounced me around a little, no one could recall this model number. The last guy asked me to email some photos, he wanted to see it. He said they still have a few old timers around too.

If I hear any cool details I'll update you.
