I got back from Iowa late last night, and I will drop off the film for proccessing today.
I found a 3 FFs: a B-3, a WDX, and a FF with no door jamb tag.
I also found two 1/2 ton open cab weapons carriers, one with the dash plates, one without.
My final find was a 58 W200, decent shape, no motor no trans(factory V8 4spd, and 4:88s).
All the trucks but the 58 W200 were in a junkyard in Spencer, IA.
There was some OK to good sheetmetal, an original T137 motor, some slightly pitted PW tags, and many 2wd trucks for parts.
I found at least 12 61-71 trucks, all the way up to 700 series, several 70's trucks, a couple of pilot house trucks, a couple of 39-47 trucks, and 2 58s, 3 59's, 1 60, 1 56, and a 54.
The yard next door had a 69 W100, a 61-66 Town Panel, and a 56 G series(with the correct fenders for a 57 W100-W200).
While in the junkyard in Spencer I got two ignition switches from the PG pickups, and then as I was wondering the 61-71 section I spotted my Holy Grail laying on the ground. I was a 61-64 D400 and bigger/winch bumper for my 64 PW TW!
I have been looking for 3 years for this bumper, and I have had several other people looking as well. Nobody has found me one worth the effort of pulling it yet, and this one was off and laying in the dirt!!!!
Just thought I would share my finds, if you have specific questions about parts that were on the trucks, ask me, I might remember.
