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

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

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 brad |

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. ![]()
