Are we ready for another "junkyard crawl"? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

too much stuff · 03-13-2026, 05:39 PM

Did my yearly "get out of the snow" trip down to oklahoma and texas like normal. Weather was great the whole trip other than dry and windy. No break downs... found some new yards to explore. Roads were good both ways. Put on about 3300 miles in 9 days. Hung out with some truck guys and looked at lots of stuff. Went to decatur Texas swap meet, but didn't find much there. Onward with pics...

Met up with Don from the truck board here and picked up my new column which looks great. Sent him home with a bunch of tilts for rebuilding also. Always nice to meet up with board members. We met at LMC which wasn't very impressive at the moment.

More junkyard...

CG · 03-13-2026, 05:50 PM

Looks like some good pickin there, hope you got a bunch of great stuff.

too much stuff · 03-13-2026, 05:57 PM

And more, it was actually quite warm the first few days.

too much stuff · 03-13-2026, 06:01 PM

I will be adding a bunch to the "abandoned square body" at a later time...

too much stuff · 03-13-2026, 06:04 PM

They are everywhere! Just kidding, the are getting tougher to find all the time...

too much stuff · 03-13-2026, 06:08 PM

Lots of miles, many motels, some good, some ok, and a few stops at "Sonic"

too much stuff · 03-13-2026, 06:12 PM

Most all of the trucks i am seeing have been sitting for many years and are quite picked over. Still fun for me. LOTS of patina on that one roof!

too much stuff · 03-13-2026, 06:15 PM

Lets keep it going...

too much stuff · 03-13-2026, 06:20 PM

Remember, these trucks can't find themselves, so get out there and do your part! I can't do it alone.

too much stuff · 03-13-2026, 06:22 PM

And the last for now. I have a lot of pics on my phone this year, but its a pain to load them here 1 at a time.
I thought long and hard about bringing the longhorn home, but the no title thing made the choice easier.
And a few pics of some junk i brought home.
Hope you enjoyed another crawl with me.

too much stuff · 03-13-2026, 06:26 PM

Forgot pics...
I also had the trailer with that had an 8' box, an A/C cab, some doors and fenders and 2- 6' step beds in rough condition.

too much stuff · 03-13-2026, 06:52 PM

Trailer pics

too much stuff · 03-13-2026, 07:14 PM

One at a time from the phone I guess.

**JDL** · 03-13-2026, 08:54 PM

Looks like fun

**Getter-Done** · 03-13-2026, 10:53 PM

Yes I am ready

Thanks for sharing.

**Already Gone** · 03-13-2026, 11:40 PM

Thanks for sharing Eric, its hard to think there are still tons of parts trucks all over.

**70STOVEBOLT** · 03-14-2026, 11:41 AM

Do you ever run across rust free doors without trim? I am in need of a set. Willing to drive or pay shipping to get them.

**dave6672** · 03-16-2026, 09:50 AM

Great pics, thanks for taking us along on another adventure!

EagleChief · 03-16-2026, 01:11 PM

Man, I need to find that blue truck that still has the upper trim on it. I could use some of that stuff!

**68bowtie** · 03-16-2026, 03:14 PM

Thanks for sharing! Great haul. Wish I could snag the lwb upper trims smh…

I don't really find anything "rust free" anymore. I usually grab doors if i can but even they are not perfect.

Tom myers in miami OK had the trim you need inside his big building. Not sure if it was GM or aftermarket.

Glad you enjoy. I have opportunities to pick up lwb upper trim once in a while, but its hard to haul that far without it getting damaged...

I don't mind a junkyard crawl as long as it is NOT AI generated
