Junkyard newbie no more!

[dads longhorn]

I had some time in the big city yesterday and went to a "u pull and pay" salvage yard to see what I could see for our trucks. Id not been to one before (see what you guys are doing to me! hahaha). They had 5, very picked over but I was still able to remove an acorn nut off camper mirrors that fits mine, got the right washers too. They didn't charge me for them either since it was such a small "haul". That place was a bit ghostly, sad . many vehicles had been in serious crashes where the type of vehicle was barely discernable. Row after row of wrecked vehicles just lost for any good use mostly. No one taking care of them rotting away just sitting there unloved. Well, by the time I left I was committed even more to take care of dads longhorn, to keep it running, in good condition for the future and potential new owner down the line. Some one will see it, think good thoughts about their past and be able to see a little bit of history that's been preserved, not just thrown aside in our hurry to go... Somewhere? Anyway ill get on their notification list if one of our trucks comes in so ill get there before it gets picked over. AND I'm going to find other junk yards to scrounge thru, I'm hooked now. Who knew what a trip to the salvage yard would do to my little brain!
