why won't they allow camera's?

jorgensensc · 10-29-2003, 02:21 PM

I asked about the camera and tey said yes, reluctantly. I explained about the board and it's membersand they saw a chance for more business. Money Talks ya know

lukecp · 10-29-2003, 02:44 PM

Sweet yard! Everything here in Missouri dosen't have floors anymore......but there are tons of junkyard trucks, just not very many good parts.

I agree....grab that shortstep bed!

bigvinnie · 10-29-2003, 02:52 PM

I've gotten a few parts from that yard, can't pull your own parts, which of course helps them to charge you more when they do it for you... they let me roam around, but a yard worker went with me...

It's a trucks only yard, and prices were nothing to write home about... they know what they got...

Hooter · 10-29-2003, 03:42 PM

man all those trucks look solid! around here any 67-72 that is in a junkyard, usually has a 20 year old tree growing throught the floorboards, and has been stripped of everything except for hood latch

68_c10_on20s · 10-29-2003, 04:35 PM

Hey pal just buy everything there and bring it to Cypress with ya shoot i might buy half of it my self if the home owners ASS. dont raise too much hell just kidding i just sold my 68 and lookin for a new toy and im in Cypress as well....welcome to Tx...Steve

Andy4639 · 10-29-2003, 06:38 PM

The first picture has the front of the truck resting on a sway bar doesn't it. I would go back and buy all I could, you never know what you may need down the road.

....Still what is it that bothers them about the camera? Is it they just don't want "tourists"?

1969 GMC · 10-29-2003, 07:30 PM

hmm...i've taken my digicam to the junkyard many a time, never really gotten any good pics tho. this is the only 67-72 i've ever found, a '71 C/10. The floor is pretty much missing, but there seem to be an abundance of parts left over. The windshield is perfect, the inner grille looks perfect, the front fenders are in pretty good shape, and there is a pretty much matched set of blue green interior pieces in the cab. Also the front disc setup is stil there, and the rear trailing arms, but all the suspension is buried in mud. there's also a decent set of spare doors in the bed. hmmmm.

Denny · 10-29-2003, 10:12 PM

Wow i wish we had yards like that around here. That stepside did't look too bad at all. Jewels has me hooked on her stepside.

jorgensensc · 10-29-2003, 11:00 PM

Bigvinnie,
There prices are a little higher than the Pick N Pull, but they have a better selection and You don't get there only to find that some oter inconsiderate Bozo has destroyed something you need to get what they need.

68_c10_on20s,
I wish I had that kind of money!!!!!

Andy4639,
I think I looked at te bar and it was bent. They want 65.00 for their swaybars!!! You can get a much cheaper one here on the board from it's members. By the way, Hardrock2 is a GREAT man to deal with and he sold me a great sway bar with ALL mountings in GREAT condition for a fantastic price!!!!! I can ask for some prices if you guys give me a reasonable list. I will probably be by there tis weekend checking out the A.C. unit again.

My question is:
Should I consider the A.C. unit, or should I just go aftermarket??? I don't have A.C. right now, but can't see paying 1200.00 (after shipping, charging, etc.)

68_c10_on20s · 10-30-2003, 10:23 AM

wait till you get here i know a guy that will sell you a whole system for 8bills and you wont have to worry if all the old stuff works,theres a few of us old trucker i have me in this area and were all friendly and enjoy em cant wait to have some more join us....btw im already lookin for a new toy...Steve

jorgensensc · 10-30-2003, 10:38 AM

Thanks for the heads up on the A.C. I will be home (Texas)for good before Cristmas, maybe my wife will suprise me with a new A.C. system. I just know I need to get a system before summer hits.

"PICS"

The pic and pull place up here told me no about the camera because of the EPA . They said that they come in all the time undercover and take pics of the grounds and make sure that they are not spilling any oil from the cars. Pick and Pull has to drain all the oil out of the cars and trucks.

So they were all rude when i tryed to get in with my camera ! So I made him give me back my 2 bucks, after I get my stamp and went to the one in San Jose for free !

Anyhow that is what they told me and I have not tryed any other place yet.
