Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
They did have a yard just west of the old Pick Your Part yard for a number of years. I got cut off and wrecked my '68 Skylark in '04, and managed to find all the parts I needed to fix it there. Later, there was only the Wilmington yard, and IIRC, the CAL EPA closed them down (could be wrong- my memory is nowhere near perfect) like they do to any wrecking yard where some dummy spills some antifreeze or oil on the ground. Maybe they just sold it, as that was probably some pretty valuable real estate.

Wasn't there a place called Chevy Only or something like that on Tuxford / Roscoe? I bought a pair of Vette rally wheels for the rear of my Camaro there. Probably about 1976 or so.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
can't find the pictures I took, but there was a huge fire over there on lomita by the bone yards about 6-8 years ago.. I was southbound on wilmington ave heading to one of our stations where it tees into lomita.. don't know if memory lane was already gone or possibly that did it in..
I reaally miss alco truck on alameda just past the henry ford rd split.. they've been gone for a long time, recycling center for transients now, gotta dodge all the bicycles and shopping carts in that area :rolleyes: one by one, all going away for stacks and stacks of econo boxes and minivans :( |
Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
Steeveedee, I got cut off too, but I didn't wreck any of my cars. I just went out to the shop and pouted. :lol:

Junkyards Gone
AHA ! I never knew about the fire .
The really old P-A-P on the West end of Lomita, near Memory Lane's last location survived the fire but was closed down after LKQ did their thing buying up every self service junkyard they could and closing down the competition illegally . That white Blazer picture looks good enough for a sales brochure . -Nate Quote:

My 72 c20 longhorn with a 72 Sportsman camper. The springs handle the load but that unboxed old style frame has a whole lot of sway in it.

Pulling my “trash trailer “. I remodel kitchens and bathrooms and throw anything that won’t burn in it. Finally took some time to show it a little attention. New tires, painted the wheels and sideboards and cleaned it up. Hopefully good to go for a while.

I think that I have solved the mystery of not having "Longhorn" emblems on the fenders. The bed is tweaked a little, so it was probably hit sometime before '73 when my FiL bought it. He's never mentioned it getting hit, that's why I say before. Can't ask him, since he died 9 years ago. Whoever did the body work probably just left the trim off. The SPID says 133" wheel base, so it's a true Longhorn. I'll check someday if it has bondo or braze there. |

I took a picture of an old picture of my dad's 67 GMC 3 / 4 ton camper cruiser with 101 square bales which were loaded out of a barn loft. This truck also hauled a lot of cattle. I'm working on restoring it now.
