Junkyard crawl... northern edition
Went up to alaska for 8 days to visit my brother. I flew in, so no tools or truck to haul things. Still had alot of fun and hit a few yards up just to see what was there. I was surprised how many older vehicles are in the yards. On with the pics....
And yes pic 3 is a set of 4, 15x8 steelies that are probably so buried they may never be found again!

Re: Junkyard crawl... northern edition
That's a shame about those 6 lug steelies. I bought 2 at a swap meet that had been used for a mailbox post. They had a couple of welds to clean up on each.

Re: Junkyard crawl... northern edition
And more yet...
Pic 1 is a radio the was a ceiling mount in a c-70 type truck. I should have grabbed it, but shipping from alaska is VERY expensive, so i was picky about what i bought.

Re: Junkyard crawl... northern edition
The first pictures I thought, "Junkyard or scrap heap?". It's good to see they do salvage parts. That K/20 Suburban!! I'm speachless

Re: Junkyard crawl... northern edition
Looks like a fun trip! That roof .out radio pod would have been cool to have. I saw one like it in a C/60 years ago.

Re: Junkyard crawl... northern edition
That stands out to me as well. Eric, would you mind running back up there and grab that? Just don't bring anything in your luggage. It should fit. I'll even pay an extra 20 bucks!

Re: Junkyard crawl... northern edition
A good while back I spotted a '71 K/20 Suburban sitting. Looked it over and it had all the options you could want. They had pulled the badass engine they built and selling w/o engine. And I had a '71 truck 350 ready to slip in. I thought they wanted too much for back then and I only messed with rust free. This thing had pretty bad rust. Years later I meet Jeff's Bowtie and he knew exactly what Suburban I was talking about. I don't think there's a 67-72 sitting within site of the road in the MD/VA/PA/WVA 4-state area we don't know about. both have eagle eyes for these trucks. You never saw such a suburban in this area. I wish I had coughed up the money
