Always makes me think whenever I'm walking through another typical shopping mall on a weekend and wonder what I'm doing there!

I'll second that!

I'll keep a can in the garage next to my bear spray!

x2....it's fun to be the only guy wandering around in a yard

My favorite score so far was a set of NOS slider windows for a Blazer/Jimmy top - too bad they were both RH

**too much stuff** · 03-26-2014, 10:08 PM

With the winter we have had it felt good to just wander around in the warm sunshine.
Over 70 days below zero and about 113 days with at least 15" of snow on the ground and still counting.

Here's one in Winslow, Az. Lots of old stuff! Funny because it's the guys yard and his house is pretty much the office!

flykelley · 06-04-2014, 05:25 AM

Here is one in S.C. I was down there a few weeks ago, almost 100 67-72 chevy & GMC pickups. I could spend all day there.

It's not a yard per say. The guy who owns them use to work at a yard and when old trucks came in he would buy them. His employer didn't want to buy these too old. I can send you a pm with his contact info.

LSUMurse · 06-04-2014, 03:09 PM

I like pics as much as the next guy. I tend to like names and locations a little better, though.

That would be really great if you would Mike. Been looking for someone nearby that has these trucks but no luck so far. I have a '69 C30 project im working on at the moment and possibly a '64 C10 in my future (got to pull it out of the woods).

I'm originally from South Carolina and I wish I would've known about that spot before I moved to Arizona in 2006. Not too far from Columbia but I guess since I wasn't looking for a truck back then I never would've found it. I was always on the hunt for a Chevelle or Camaro.

PowerdbyChevy79 · 06-05-2014, 07:14 AM

where ever this is at... i just wanna be there

**special-K** · 06-05-2014, 07:23 AM

Where are the junkyard pictures I expected to see? I must say I'd rather look at these pictures. I just haven't seen any junk,only treasure. A junkyard is a place full of junk. Think late-model plastic and cardboard

**Elliot949** · 06-05-2014, 08:00 AM

I would really like to know where that 61 Chevy 2-Dr. is...

FlameOut · 06-05-2014, 10:27 AM

Wow, didn't realize there were still that many around that have older vehicles. Certainly none in my area. Very cool to see them. Maybe time for a road trip

jlaird · 06-05-2014, 06:48 PM

Great thread. I think we like junkyard pics so much because people like us see the endless possibilities, what could be...we're all dreamers in the sense that we want to save them all!

Junkyards are like an artists' palette...

The guy in SC has a nice Suburban I would love to have, got to finish my truck first.

LSUMurse · 06-05-2014, 07:43 PM

This is what we get in the Gulf South. This took three junkyards to find. I would love to find a field of gold.
