I got the rh bedside off the first one here for my 65 a few years back.

[jonzcustomshop]

^ that 60 is one of the 3 short fleets he has

[jonzcustomshop]

I got the rh door off the orange viking for my 60, the light green 61 is a k10,and the green viking has a 348 in it! thrown rod though...

[jonzcustomshop]

last one... this is a 62 c40, 6cyl. gmc hood, he has it for sale by the road, supposed to run....

Wow! And thanks for sharing. I haven't seen this many of these trucks in a yard since the 80's. Nothing like this left around where I live.

Sweet update jonz; thoroughly enjoyed the second tour.

[Shaky]

My life is complete - I now know where I want my ashes scattered after I die.

All those 60-61 hoods. I don't think there's any on the eastern side of the Mississippi.

I think this is where all the local 60-63's ended up... all I can find to buy are 456's

his yard is called kellys. as you are driving north to arlee from missoula, he is about 2 miles before arlee.
look for the 68 chev 4door on the pole, and he is closed sunday and monday, rest of the week 8-5, except friday, 8-3.

I wish he had truck parking! I've driven past there many times. Maybe me, you and josh should run up next trip thru the zoo.

[jonzcustomshop]

would be a blast!
you might be able to park out front now... with the highway expansion there is a nice breakdown lane out front, not sure about the otr rules about parking like that....?

[jonzcustomshop]

here are a couple way out in the back... rolled one is a mess! check out the windshield bolted in!

[aerotruk63]

Your just mean! I mean all those 63 grilles at $100.00+ and you just leave them there. I hope the owner of the yard doesn't read this forum.

[jonzcustomshop]

I don't think he is on the net... there is one more decent one, but the rest are pretty hammered, all need work.

[markeb01]

Thanks again for sharing these pictures. It's like stepping back in time seeing all this early stuff available. I'd never get anything done if I lived nearby.

[62 short step]

Wow! Thats all i can say.

[McC_65_91]

WOW, heaven....

[jonzcustomshop]

I always go there with a specific items in mind.. then i usually get overwhelmed and forget what I was looking for...

[protrash64]

I can imagine a shopping list would be helpful. Thanks for the pics.

[Sillyoldman]

Wowawoowa. Please send me a solid pair of '63 doors!

[jonzcustomshop]

sad day.... all the big trucks are gone, and the entire center row: the ones that aren't up against the fence.....
wish I had had more time and money.. lots of stuff that I just wasn't able to salvage.
Of particular sadness to me, some stuff I didn't have a chance to get:
2 factory sway bars.
1 mint rust free bare 61 cab.
1 61 3/4 ton detroit locker posi.
1 mint 65 lwb LH bedside.
1 very nice 63 deluxe seat.
2 60-61 c/60 grilles
1 set of 61 knobs with the "V","C","T", and "L" printed on them...
1 deluxe 61 steering wheel.

there is a bunch of other stuff that I was sad to see go into the crusher, quite a few 60-66 deluxe guage packages, about 30 good high hump floor tunnels, and lots of miscellaneous parts....

I think steel is at $230 a ton around here, this stuff is just disappearing fast, it has been a few months since I have been out there, and on the ride back I noticed that 5 other 60-66's that I knew about in fields, and on farms were gone.
