Are we ready for another "junkyard crawl"?
 

Did my yearly "get out of the snow" trip down to oklahoma and texas like normal. Weather was great the whole trip other than dry and windy. No break downs... found some new yards to explore. Roads were good both ways. Put on about 3300 miles in 9 days. Hung out with some truck guys and looked at lots of stuff. Went to decatur Texas swap meet, but didn't find much there. Onward with pics...

Met up with Don from the truck board here and picked up my new column which looks great. Sent him home with a bunch of tilts for rebuilding also. Always nice to meet up with board members. We met at LMC which wasn't very impressive at the moment.

More junkyard...

Re: Are we ready for another "junkyard crawl"?
 

Looks like some good pickin there, hope you got a bunch of great stuff.

Re: Are we ready for another "junkyard crawl"?
 

And more, it was actually quite warm the first few days.

Re: Are we ready for another "junkyard crawl"?
 

I will be adding a bunch to the "abandoned square body" at a later time...

Re: Are we ready for another "junkyard crawl"?
 

They are everywhere! Just kidding, the are getting tougher to find all the time...

Re: Are we ready for another "junkyard crawl"?
 

Lots of miles, many motels, some good, some ok, and a few stops at "Sonic"

Re: Are we ready for another "junkyard crawl"?
 

Most all of the trucks i am seeing have been sitting for many years and are quite picked over. Still fun for me. LOTS of patina on that one roof!

Re: Are we ready for another "junkyard crawl"?
 

Lets keep it going...

Re: Are we ready for another "junkyard crawl"?
 

Remember, these trucks can't find themselves, so get out there and do your part! I can't do it alone.

Re: Are we ready for another "junkyard crawl"?
 

And the last for now. I have a lot of pics on my phone this year, but its a pain to load them here 1 at a time.
I thought long and hard about bringing the longhorn home, but the no title thing made the choice easier.
And a few pics of some junk i brought home.
Hope you enjoyed another crawl with me.

Re: Are we ready for another "junkyard crawl"?
 

Forgot pics...
I also had the trailer with that had an 8' box, an A/C cab, some doors and fenders and 2- 6' step beds in rough condition.

Trailer pics

Re: Are we ready for another "junkyard crawl"?
 

One at a time from the phone I guess.

Re: Are we ready for another "junkyard crawl"?
 

Looks like fun

Re: Are we ready for another "junkyard crawl"?
 

Yes I am ready :metal:

Thanks for sharing.

Re: Are we ready for another "junkyard crawl"?
 

Thanks for sharing Eric, its hard to think there are still tons of parts trucks all over.

Re: Are we ready for another "junkyard crawl"?
 

Do you ever run across rust free doors without trim? I am in need of a set. Willing to drive or pay shipping to get them.

Re: Are we ready for another "junkyard crawl"?
 

Great pics, thanks for taking us along on another adventure!

Re: Are we ready for another "junkyard crawl"?
 

Man, I need to find that blue truck that still has the upper trim on it. I could use some of that stuff!

Re: Are we ready for another "junkyard crawl"?
 

Thanks for sharing! Great haul. Wish I could snag the lwb upper trims smh…

Re: Are we ready for another "junkyard crawl"?
 

I always have fun on these adventures. Finding stuff is a good bonus.

It was.

I know you are always ready for these threads...

They are out there, but i put my time in and miles on to find them.

I don't really find anything "rust free" anymore. I usually grab doors if i can but even they are not perfect.

Glad you enjoy.

Tom myers in miami OK had the trim you need inside his big building. Not sure if it was GM or aftermarket.

Glad you enjoy. I have opportunities to pick up lwb upper trim once in a while, but its hard to haul that far without it getting damaged...

I don't mind a junkyard crawl as long as it is NOT AI generated

He did This because he Could!

I went back there to see a bunch of box/ work trucks.:waah::lol:

Re: Are we ready for another "junkyard crawl"?
 

I appreciate the info! That's not too far from me!

Re: Are we ready for another "junkyard crawl"?
 

Were you able to find what you need? I have his info if you need it.

Re: Are we ready for another "junkyard crawl"?
 

Wow. That is an impressive junk yard. So much as I feel bad calling it that. I see a lot of parts I need sitting around there!

Re: Are we ready for another "junkyard crawl"?
 

I think that is 3 different yards i was at between Oklahoma and N Texas. there are still good parts out there, but it is getting to be more slim pickings by the year.

Re: Are we ready for another "junkyard crawl"?
 

Did you get a close look at that first 69 cab? I'm looking for a decent 69 saddle gold and white cab with patina like this to swap my short bed with.

Re: Are we ready for another "junkyard crawl"?
 

Are you asking about the first group of pictures? I don't recall any really nice cabs, but i don't recall everything i looked at.

Re: Are we ready for another "junkyard crawl"?
 

Glad you made it down there and back OK. Looks like you are going to get more winter weather up there....:o
