Re: You-pull-it yard in Charleston/Columbia SC

Having gone from SoCal to AZ through SC before coming to NC, my opinion is you will set a new standard for what you will judge as "picked clean" at a pull-for-yourself yard out this way.

I used to consider the "Pick-A-Part" yards as a gold mine, and even if I could not find what I was looking for I would still consider the $1 entry as "cheap entertainment" for the day as there was always something strange enough that I would learn something.

Out here there was even a TV commercial wher the local chain used the line "Cheap entertainment"...I thought it was a message from Gawd...thank goodness I misspell it rather than use His name in vain, because that claim was sure a lot of vanity.

They had "3 67-72 trucks" in one opinion. One was a bare frame, one was a frame with a wrecked bed, and the last was a frame with a tow truck bed.

Last weekend I complained politely at the Autofair. Their response was "well (drive 55 miles and) try our new location in Winston-Salem!" ha...hold your breath.

The better resources in these parts are private specialty yards, but the one I know of in the Columbia area is in Congaree and specializes in F-bodies. I am sure there are Chevy truck yards near there somewhere, but quite a few are up here in a triangle between Concord, Ft Bragg and Mint Hill (the Charlotte suburb where Fatman fab is located).

I really do miss Ecology yards (the company that runs Memory Lane)
