they have a couple. everything they have is 2995 .00 
. sent them some pics of my 1930 international truck to see if they want to trade. this old truck is amazing . all the metal is straight which is rare for an old work horse . i've had it for 30 years . you just cant start off 3k in the hole with a build.
thanks for looking around for me. i have one more old yard to look through.

They are not far from me and I have dealt with them several times. It belongs to two brothers and I have had better luck dealing with one than the other. He even showed me his private hoard of cars one day. I think the issue may be that they want all transactions to generate cash. If you had swapped them even then there would be no cash generated. In my experience they ask $2995 for all their cars but will usually let them go for $2500. Their thinking seems to be that anything less than $2500 and they will do better parting out the car.

their business their call. no pasture car especially a unpopular 4dr is worth 2500 . at least not a 49-52. putting the international and the 41 commercial on ebay and such . before i pay 2500 for a pasture car i will go to an older restoration for more money. getting hard to build with everyone thinking the old rusty car out back is worth 5k . in reality every year they set they loose value . i know of a 55ht that was at one time a good builder. it is now totally destroyed by setting in the dirt for 40 years.

well i sold both of my old trucks . bought 2 fleetlines . 400 for one that is rusty but had title and great gauge cluster. great doghouse and straight bumpers . another one for 400 that is a deluxe with all good trim and a butt load of extra parts. traded a trans for a 4dr sedan for parts that has excellent floors , good doors and rockers lot of trim parts plus a really nice grille . dissecting it for the floors. will use the frame under it since it will be apart .
so i have less than a grand in 3 cars opposed to 2995 for one as bad as the worst of them . a pasture dweller is just not worth that kind of money . one thing i have learned over the years is you cant start out with a 3-4k piece of junk in a build .
hope to get started soon but first is getting the land ready for the market .

well i got the results on my ct scan . looks like i will be around for a while so i can start planning a fleetline build . i will build the 52 first . best one in the bunch with far less rust issues. i have a spare frame to get started on so i dont have to blow it apart right off .
going to sell my farm tractor to finance the build. first step is find a c4 for parts .

That's GREAT news shine! Awesome.
About the build, you are planning on doing this one to sell right? And I'm sure you know about it but on the off chance you don't this site has just about every salvage yard in America listing stuff.
When you do, care to share how you do it with us? Done a few jigs over the years, mainly on rusty stuff but would love to see how you do it for a chassis.
