You never know until you look. Part of the reason I do posts like these are for incentive to go find this stuff before its gone.

Thanks for sharing your visit with us. Haven't been to a yard like that since I was living in western Maryland.

It wasn't as good as it looked, but could be saved.

Thanks

There were a few different yards I went to, most of the pics were in winger towards the Dakota border.

The yellow 70? If so, yes it was. It needs everything! Even the bucket seats were junk.

Just a quick update,,, i stopped by this yard again about a week ago...

SAD! All went to scrap a couple years ago.

Too bad. My local yard is owned by an elderly gentleman and his son whose health is not great, so I'm afraid the same will happen to it sooner rather than later.

The owner said he got $300/ton at the time and couldn't say no. Said it was a very nice check in the end.
