Dont see too many pull-a-part yards in NC anymore. At least not with our trucks still there.

The local yards here have been bought out by national chains(pull-n-pay and u-pull-it)
Since they've come it, it's def easier to get around the yard, more organized, but no old cars/trucks anymore. Now I rarely see anything pre 1980, and def nothing older than 70 or so.

Used to be tons of old tin , lots of 50's 60's and 70's cars and trucks. I am still kicking myself for not buying several junkers for a few hundred each, just for their parts.(the ones I remember, are and old willys jeepster 4 door, a 50's jag that actually had everything in the interior and in decent shape, and some of the old 60's 'bubble' top cars. There was a chevy wagon that's body was fully useable, needed motor/trans, and another that was customized in the 70's or 80's, chopped top, modified headlights, rear quarters etc, and alot more. I'm sure they got crushed

Seems to be harder and hard to find anything 'old' and in decent shape in S.FL. these days.

The way these new yards work is the car stays on the lot for a certain number of months while people pull the most common parts off of them, then they go to the crusher. It is probably bad news for cabs, as they will all be crushed rather then sit in a junk yard for decades. Oh well, there is always reproduction.

Try living up here in the rust belt -

What you find up here - is expensive and rusty-

I found 1 67-72 truck in the local yard here - I had to do a double-take since there was barely anything left of it...
