Abandoned wrecking yard
Road trippin with LT1burb today to score a short box (he can tell you how he stole it) and then up to the Portland area to check out a guy who might have some god used stuff.
The guy happens to be a family friend who is helping the widow of a junk yard horder. The yard was closed 10 years ago and is now on a timeline to get everything off the property. All the good stuff was gone, they had the scrapper there for 2 months several months ago and they reduced the 10 acres stacked 4 cars high to muddy trails through piles of miscellaneous iron. We didn't have much time, had no idea I was going to end up here and can't wait until I can go back in the next few weeks before they scrap the rest before June. . ![]() . ![]() . . ![]() . . ![]() . . ![]() . .

Lt1burb in negotiations with the seats and he purchased the slide latch that was on the blue/green one. The Logging crummie had aftermarket windows and no OE style latches.

Re: Abandoned wrecking yard
I believe the same guy reproducing seats for the 47-54 A.D. Burbs is also reproducing them for the 55-66 burbs also. You can get the floor plates and all hardware for them too.

Re: Abandoned wrecking yard
Went thru there before they brought in the scrapper. I didn't have much time to really dig in.
