Nice find! If you do enough panning, eventually you will find gold! I went to one near me looking for a wiper arm for a dodge dakota and found 3 very well optioned trucks that hadn't been picked over yet. The real problem you have now is trying to keep the location a secret from all the other local guys.

1ATony · 02-23-2010, 04:38 PM

Man that place looks like a fun time. It even has a space shuttle....lol

cdowns · 02-23-2010, 04:42 PM

other than pics what did you come home with?

i'd b buying up those tailgates from the looks of them they're pretty nice

1ATony · 02-23-2010, 04:46 PM

Drop a small block in that go kart

Hottrucks · 02-23-2010, 05:03 PM

Oh yah I saw that too.Caddys make a nice hot rod.Man I'd get lost for days in that place.

mr48chev · 02-23-2010, 05:03 PM

If I wasn't on the far side of the world I'd be all over that 71 GMC to mix and match with my 71. Between the two I could make one nice truck.

Nice goldmine you found there.

Nova70 · 02-23-2010, 05:59 PM

Man... I finally found a couple in a yard but they've all been picked to death. One has a nice behind the seat tank that looks brand new though.

**71blksuper4x4** · 02-23-2010, 06:03 PM

I'd be all over that 4x4 if it was near me. I just got a soft spot for them. Trevor

**special-K** · 02-23-2010, 09:11 PM

Trevor,did you notice the t-case shifter...`70 style?Man,is that the highest point in Florida in the background?

grantos · 02-23-2010, 10:10 PM

I was just at this place today,got the passenger side taillight and both reverse light lenses off the orange truck in the first pics.I love that place and go there quite a bit.

57larry · 02-23-2010, 10:11 PM

just like a kid in a candy store

tcb-1 · 02-23-2010, 10:14 PM

the tailgate on the olive lwb and the red sierra looks like keepers?!

glider_6969 · 02-23-2010, 10:37 PM

All I can say is wow, that is a candy store, wish we were that lucky on this side of the boarder to have those kind of finds.

basemodel67 · 02-23-2010, 10:57 PM

I will seriously give you money if you get the heater delete setup off the green GMC for me. PM me. I will make it worth your time.

tcb-1 · 02-23-2010, 11:03 PM

^^ wow, great eye basemodel!!

Kel,
I'd like to just have pictures of the dash (to see if there are defrost vents) and a closeup shot of the mythical blower hole cover on that same GMC stepper!!!

PLEASE!!!!

suville · 02-23-2010, 11:06 PM

That Caddy coupe deVille has a 390 or 429 not a 500 1970 is the first year for a 500 and 68 is the first year for 472, 368,425,472,500 are basically the same engine. But from what is showing that could possibly be one sweet cruiser with a 425,472 or 500 transplant and disc brake upgrade! Not positive but I think its a 64-65?

**LEEVON** · 02-23-2010, 11:15 PM

I see a bunch of nice tailgatess $$$

1970 Bowtie · 02-24-2010, 03:27 PM

Looks like I need to cross the river and do some gold mining of my own.

**wancosc356** · 02-23-2010, 11:15 PM

Nice finds! I'd like to have one of those clean tailgates!
