Looks like a neat place to go search. That would be my dream to have a salvage yard, but that will never happen since there isn't many old trucks and cars around anymore. Everything around here is getting crushed. Thanks for the pics!!!!!

What a strange yard, the vehicles all seem to have intact glass. One of the first criteria arounf here is to bust any good glass upon arrival, i mean really who would want something like that anyway. Cool yard, stuff like that is a quickly disappearing animal in this neck of the woods.

Kurt L · 01-14-2011, 10:34 PM

man theres alot of projects there,great yard not many around like that anymore.
cool pics.

Gobbles · 01-14-2011, 10:38 PM

Some of those bodies look really straight, thats an awesome find!

blue 72 gmc 4x4 · 01-14-2011, 10:48 PM

Thats cool they dont crush anything...I think it should be illegal to crush vintage cars. Cool pics though thanks for sharing

Hubscrub · 01-14-2011, 10:48 PM

wish i was closer ha, there is a couple yard kinda like that here but not as nice and you can't afford them. There was one that has several of these trucks few years back and he crushed them all the guy told me and he said i told them not to people are always comeing in here looking for them parts now

RCbowtie69 · 01-14-2011, 10:52 PM

oldblue1968chevy · 01-14-2011, 10:55 PM

I know of a few yards with old stuff, but there expensive or kinda scary characters that never seem to be around lol

travlinman · 01-15-2011, 01:21 AM

hoodlum.... any info or pics on the red/white/blue box van behind the t-bird? wondering whats left inside?

basemodel67 · 01-15-2011, 01:34 AM

^^^ What he said. The big 427 emblems and grilles in the side of the hood are pretty rare if they aren't beat. Do me a favor and check out the bus next to the box truck... if it has the same front end as the box truck, I want the gauges out of it!!! Pics please if you go back

Also, look for heater deletes too - they look like my avatar pic!

If I'm not mistaken I believe the owner said they were full tail light lenses. Many times salvage yards like to use buses as storage. I will ask next time I am out. Maybe later next week? I have seen several tractor trailer around the office. They might be full of parts. The office is really cool. The have all kinds are grills, tail light assemblies, and trim hanging all over the walls and down from the ceiling.

travlinman · 01-15-2011, 02:44 AM

if an when u do go back can u please get pics and check to see if it still has the gauges ? I ve been looking and would love to have a big truck air cluster.
