Got to walk around and see lots of stuff.
It was a lot of fun! I am attaching pics.

Cool pics.

That looks like a 292 or 312 Ford motor. I think from mid 50s to early 60s.

**Yukon Jack** · 09-10-2003, 04:12 PM

That wrecker looks to be in excellent shape!

rambler · 09-10-2003, 04:12 PM

rambler · 09-10-2003, 04:24 PM

LOL,, Yukon Jack,, you beat me to the post... ..

that cheynne in the pics looks like it could have lots of good parts there.. even the tilt wheel is still there....... I sure could use that whole truck for parts!

MandarinSixSeven · 09-10-2003, 05:52 PM

I like how the truck in the 3rd post down has the word 'ROT' spelled on the tailgate, unfortunately that's all it is doing in a junkyard, is rotting lol

Porkchop · 09-10-2003, 06:45 PM

That first picture was really cool.
Do you know how far this yard was from the Indiana/Michigan border? Is it in lafayette?
Did any of the trucks seem to have useful parts on them? (fenders and stuff)
thanks

the salvage yard is called B&K and it is just outside Warren, Indiana. Warren is just over an hour south of Fort Wayne, Indiana on Interstate-69. I can get you an exact address and directions later this evening when I get home.

As for good fenders, thats a tough one to judge. I am really really picky when it comes to body parts because I stink at doing body work. So, I'm not the best judge. But, I think the yard had at least 12 or 13 of our trucks that still had decent parts on them.

If you make the long trip down there, I can recommend some other good salvage yards in the area too. I will get the list tonight. Its worth the phone call at least, and they can go out and look for you.

Hope that helps!
I'll post again in a little bit with more info.

Thanks a lot for all the help! I'll probably make some calls this weekend, and I might decide to make a trip down there sometime. Michigan sucks for salvagable parts.

*Randy70C-10* · 09-10-2003, 09:55 PM

That wrecker is a cream puff, you should go save it.

Carl71 · 09-10-2003, 10:04 PM

How far is Bryant, In from Lafayette? Thanks

oh its a LONG ways away..... maybe 2 or 2.5 hours.

i didnt go there from lafayette.... i went to visit family, which lives in Huntington, IN. they are on the east side of indiana

bryant is on the east side of indiana, just north and east of anderson, indiana.....

it is closer to bluffton, indiana

it is about 45 minutes from huntington, indiana, so i am gonna guess its a good 1.5 hours northeast of indianapolis and a good 1.5 hours south of fort wayne, indiana

take a look at a map --- its over by the intersection of highway one and highway 18.....

thats about the best i can do for you...

good luck!

look at the RED star on this map:
