Just went to the local "Pick Your Part" in Sunland Calif.,one of the largest and most popular in this section of L.A.,Calif. Yet there was only 1 of our year trucks ( a '71 3/4 with everything but the visors and the massive diff.with 13" brakes gone) in the many acres of cars stored there. I'm wondering where these trucks are going. I believe the yard operators are beginning to realize that they are no longer just junk and are farming them out to some specialty yard or something.This would be sad.This happened to me when I had a 71 Cougar and eventually all the 351 Cleveland 4V and even 2V cars started going to places like "Memory Lane". I think this is starting now with the pre- 73 Pick-ups.
Another thing,while I kill time during half-time ( I don't give a crap about "Prince") I notice LOTS of 67-72 Chevy/GMC trucks still on the road and many still working,like mine. Yet I seldom see a F*ord truck from those years,VERY seldom.Is it the same all over? Are GM trucks just plain better,are they more collectible,or were there just lots more made during those years.Sorry for the ramble,waiting for the 2nd half.
