Was there much worth salvaging? You're not that far from me it might be worth zipping up for a look. I was going to do some looting at the local yard where the guy has two old chevs tomorrow, if he's around, but they're pretty beat.

Did you talk to the owner about prices on parts? (must control urge to buy, gahhhhh! )

Ron,

There was probably sum parts there worth "Looting" but I wouldn't think u'd want to pay for. There where a few Chrome GMC Grilles but they needed a little work of course. The Owner I think used these trucks when fixing up another local truck for a guy (he's restored a few older vehicles...like the Buick Skylark pictured which is his a believe). I'm not sure what he'd ask price wise on parts but he would obviously part with 'em, he'd be stupid not too.

I didn't talk to the owner cause I was there after hours looking and like to keep a low profile. I don't like getting involved with shop owners unless I actually know I want sumthing (which is the reason for the after hours recon ) from them cause all to often they won't give you the time of day (or Permission) to see what's out there to start with unless you say "I need Such Such". Where' the fun in that? I know it's tresspassing but I'm a pretty honest and trustworthy person, not a vandal etc.

Sorry to ramble on there I can get his number for you if you wanna ask him sum Q's. I have 2 other parts pile pics from my little venture I will post here.

Brian
