Parting with Two 57 Fairlanes

I have two 57 Ford Fairlanes. These were my dads. They are not in great shape. Both are 4 doors.

One has full drive train, but does not run (carberator gummed, spark plug wires rotted) and tires are dry rotted. It has 312 with Thunderbird special heads. I have pink slip and is registered non-opp.

The other is a Fairlane 500 and has no drive train and no suspenions. I have the block, heads, etc for it. I have junk slip for it.

Located near Palmdale CA. I am looking for someone to take them. The price is free if they take care of moving and transporting them.

The reason is I am looking to downsize sometime in the near future. 

Also, I have my dads 64 Ford long bed truck. Has 351 2V and full drive train. Not running (probably gummed carb). Dry rotted tires.
I can send pictures as needed to those interested.

I might have a single loose bezel in my parts bin. Will check.
They should be universal.

Guys yeah I reached out.  And I'm getting them with a buddy. 
My friend Fernando was looking for a truck so they might work out sweet.  This cars have some cool history. 
One might be a full salvage.
The more complete one will be made to run.   
Same for the truck. 
We have somewhat of a plan in place.
Thanks Ratman for the opportunity.

It's the ring connects to the fender nomenclature might be wrong the parts I need is RT/LF specific.  This is the piece I need the white piece around the light.  Appreciate the offer not sure what it's called.

If your talking about the headlight bezel with the single screw on the bottom they are not right or left specific, they are all the same will fit either side.

abe_lugo

You
Mean the outer sheet metal around the headlight itself. 
Yeah more than likely these fenders  are staying together. 

I might have one from another set in the future.  But not immediately now.  There are nos and ems parts that show up though.
If you wait it out I can post when the set I have already comes up.

Thanks Abe I have some time right now it's schedules for body work and paint April or May depending on the guys schedule and when he's finished with the ones he has now.  He said he can repair but if I can find a good one ......
