Ready for a January junkyard crawl?
 

Looked like the weather was going to be good so i decided to take a day off and do a quick little junkyard crawl. It was a little chilly in the am and had a few miles to go.
We will start with a little mish-mash of stuff.

Re: Ready for a January junkyard crawl?
 

Haven't been to this yard for a few years so i figured it was time. Weather warmed up nicely and a nice variety of stuff.

Re: Ready for a January junkyard crawl?
 

The yard is quite organized and want you to make a list of parts according to the stock number and then go to the office and they will price things out. It is a pull it yourself yard, but they will assist for extra.

Re: Ready for a January junkyard crawl?
 

Let the fun begin... Back to the truck to grab tools and hike back in.

Re: Ready for a January junkyard crawl?
 

These 3 trucks here were only sold as complete, but not really for sale...Cash always talks.

Re: Ready for a January junkyard crawl?
 

Their prices are getting higher all the time for used parts. I passed on a lot of items i asked about. I still managed to grab a few goodies.
Now get out there and help me save some stuff.
Hope you enjoyed another crawl...

Re: Ready for a January junkyard crawl?
 

Wish stuff like that was available here.

Re: Ready for a January junkyard crawl?
 

Looks like some good stuff there! Thanks for sharing pictures :chevy:

Good deal Eric!

I need to get over to the yard in Newton, Ia to see if they have any new additions.... Overall they have been pretty reasonable.

Re: Ready for a January junkyard crawl?
 

I shudder to think what you consider bad weather

Re: Ready for a January junkyard crawl?
 

I'd need a time machine to bring me back to 1982 in order to visit a yard like that. Looks like fun, wish I was there.

Re: Ready for a January junkyard crawl?
 

A Highlander and a set of buddy buckets in a junkyard! Good stuff. Thanks for the pics.

Re: Ready for a January junkyard crawl?
 

I assume the tool box door must have been pretty pricey? I woulda jumped all over that if it was in decent shape.

Re: Ready for a January junkyard crawl?
 

That M1009 has been 'Relieved of Duty"....

Cool yes, still have a Key for one from back in the day...

Wow, I'd like to walk through that!!!
That GMC tailgate looks nice. Someone will want that!!!

The GMC Dually with no bed has the large ducts under hood (had no hood), what was that engine?

I sent a pic of the 60 Pontiac to a Pontiac enthusiast in Nebraska.

Re: Ready for a January junkyard crawl?
 

Wait a minute are the quarters on that Suburban as solid as they look? I mean aside from the surface rust.

What is their policy for using power tools to remove body panels?

If they're in decent condition I sure could use them.

Re: Ready for a January junkyard crawl?
 

Overall how was the body on that yellow GMC in post #2?

Re: Ready for a January junkyard crawl?
 

I found some good stuff towards anchorage a few years ago. I know that is still quite a drive.

I knew you would like these.

Better keep up on it, these are disappearing.

Today is below zero windchills so i will stay home...

Re: Ready for a January junkyard crawl?
 

It was fun, wish the prices were a little better...

Glad you enjoy them.

I didn't even ask. It was rough and you can see they bondoed over the latch stuff. It had screws all around it holding it to the box.

I tried to buy the 15x8 wheels off of it but he wouldn't take $100 each for them.

I am not sure what was up with that gmc. Pretty sure there was still a V-6 under all of that mess.

You will notice that is a body filler line all across it. All patch panels.

I have seen a lot worse. It was nicely optioned also. I got the gate off that one.

Re: Ready for a January junkyard crawl?
 

love it! Great pics love the C30"s sweet gmc gate!

Re: Ready for a January junkyard crawl?
 

Very nice options on this one.

Re: Ready for a January junkyard crawl?
 

Another engine picture of the V6.

Re: Ready for a January junkyard crawl?
 

Check out the red panels hiding in the ambulance.

Eric - you ever run into any rust free passenger inner fenders?

Re: Ready for a January junkyard crawl?
 

Eric, nice find on the Shoulder Belts. Stay warm up there!

Quite rare to find those, especially in mn.

Thanks, i was happy to see them in there.

Re: Ready for a January junkyard crawl?
 

[QUOTE=too much stuff;9419113]Quite rare to find those, especially in mn.

Sounds about right - figured I'd ask since we are about 3 hours apart.

Re: Ready for a January junkyard crawl?
 

Some 60-66 stuff in there too.

Re: Ready for a January junkyard crawl?
 

It's amazing to see that many vintage vehicles in a salvage yard ! It's been 20yrs since you could find anything at all around here. I used to love going yarding for
parts !

Re: Ready for a January junkyard crawl?
 

In need of a sliding rear window if you want to move it

Re: Ready for a January junkyard crawl?
 

What do they get for a 67-72 chrome fleetside rear bumper?

Re: Ready for a January junkyard crawl?
 

Looks like they stuffed a Toro-Flow V6 into that truck, kinda cool.

Re: Ready for a January junkyard crawl?
 

[quote=ryans69chevy;9419127]You would have a better chance in dakota as far as rust i would think.

They have a nice variety of older vehicles.

It is getting tougher all the time to find stuff...

I am hanging onto that one for now.

You would have to call and ask.

I believe that is exactly what they did. Lots of extra gauges inside also.
