Recent trip to the boneyard

[chvtrkman]

Well, I made my first trip to the boneyard in about 8 or 9 yrs. It's not the closest one to where I live, but it's got 10,000 "vehicles" on the premises.
The bad news: The last time I was there I remember them having a whole section devoted to older vehicles. There must have been 20 or 30 trucks from the 1960-1972 era.And that was just GM trucks, there were just as many Dodges, Fords, and even a couple of Jeep and Internationals.I guess the owner felt all that vintage steel was taking up too much precious space cause he crushed 'em all. The earliest year I saw was a '75 C-10, and it was stripped down pretty good. Oh well. I was hoping to find some parts that aren't being re-produced. I will have to intensify my search.

The good news: My trip there (about 50 miles) wasn't a total waste of time. I did manage to find a pair of bucket seats in an '84 Blazer that are re-storable.I know they are high back seats, and our 67-72s had either buddy buckets or the low back buckets (which I'd prefer),but these are close enough.....and for $35.00 I'm not gonna complain.
