Junkyardin' with pics - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**too much stuff** · 04-13-2009, 08:02 PM

Hit a new yard today. Some pretty neat things still there. I found out they just crushed a 70 3/4 ton 4x4 CREW CAB (Railroad). I wish i could have seen that one. I did get some good parts today for a fair price however. Enjoy the pics.

**too much stuff** · 04-13-2009, 08:07 PM

Batch number 2
I know there are some "off" brands pictured, but it is nice to see not everything got crushed last year!

**too much stuff** · 04-13-2009, 08:11 PM

And even some more.

**too much stuff** · 04-13-2009, 08:17 PM

And the last pics. Check out the spid if it is legible. Unusual to have that many options without being a CST or deluxe i thought.
And a few pics of todays haul. Beats the heck out of workin'
Enjoy...

No, a 40 had two back windows I believe...

Unless I miss my guess (the gray hair is draining my memory a lot, lately) that is a '36 or 37 Chevy Master coupe. Definitely not a Ford.

What I would give to be able to walk round one of those junkyards that you guys have out there.

Thanks for the pics Eric.

Eightbanger,
Tell you what, you get over here and i will show you the ropes!

Special k, there are some unusual vehicles there. There were more i didn't get pics of either. Looking at that 69 being all black with the red interior, big block, A/C, all the trim... That was one nice looking truck in its day!!!

Blutrukker, the trim was maybe driver condition. I think there was some missing on the other side. Since it was a custom, it was black on the lower. Prices were fair.

BluTrukker · 04-15-2009, 08:24 AM

Thanks, so the yard is somewhere up in da nort country? What town is it near, I will be going up your way this summer.

WillW23 · 04-13-2009, 08:31 PM

sweet, I love old bone yards! I love to get that full tach dash for 67-72 truck.

tcb-1 · 04-13-2009, 08:33 PM

I was just about to ask if the wrecker had a speed warning setup.... then you hit me with a pic of the one you got! you dog you!!! if by chance your selling, aw nothing. I can't afford it!

very cool stuff there. looks like the light blue 65-66 has some nice bumper guards. you might pic those up the next time your there. pretty sure you could sell those for a profit!

the air gauge is also somethng that you could probably turn a coin on too......

**72 Super** · 04-13-2009, 08:42 PM

looks like you had a lucky day there, there isn't much around here like that.

Ram-Man · 04-13-2009, 08:50 PM

This nice weather here gets me in the mood to wander around a yard like this. too much stuff, the orange 67 is still sitting in the weeds about 1 mile past Mcgregor I think you should give it a home.

BADSAM · 04-13-2009, 09:30 PM

I need a towel ... for the drool!

The wrecker had nothing. The speedwarning came from the black 1/2 ton longbox. I have never seen a speedwarning in anything heavier than a 3/4 ton. I know people say the big trucks had them, but i have never seen it.

I am not sure what the old coupes were, but there were a few.

72 super, it takes alot of walking and driving to have 1 good day. I should post pics of how many times i don't find anything. HaHa

Ram-man. I know, I know. I have to get that direction soon. Dang working for a living is getting in the way...

big_al_71 · 04-13-2009, 09:48 PM

congrats on scoring the gauges, very sweet!
you still got quite a bit more snow left up there in northern mn then we do over here in the west central mn
were all really glad its 90% gone here, all that snow was really no fun the last few storms

I think he already did.

You had me at the wrecker,then it just got better.Where`s the junkyard pictures?I don`t see any junk!

There`s a push me pull you just like that up in PA that I really wanted to get.It looked retired and was sitting at a house mover`s lot.I`m guessing they were possibly make for aircraft towing.There`s three window in the firewall area on the back(?

) side.But,they are very heavy built.Definately some sort if prime mover...Cool Stuff!!

Was that a retracyable hardtop next to the Ranchero?Both are primo projects for an off brander.
