71 C20 Eaton locker posi score

[bobs409]

That one in Bernville, is it on an old farm? They had so much old stuff there. Lots of fun to go to. I wasn't there in many years though. I have some pics of some of the cars.

As for Carlisle, I got a new floor for a cab I'm building to replace the one on my stepside. Got it for 4 bills from Top banana. REALLY wanted a new cowl panel for my wrecker project but there is some hold up on them and they haven't been available for months! I can't wait any longer so I am fixing my old one. (was doing that today)

Just some odds and ends other than that. Got a few body working supplies while I was there and few things for my other cars.

Going to Leesport flea market tomorrow. A nice little get together that doesn't cost anything.

Bob, Yes, I think he means the junkyard on Swissdale Road just outside of Bernville that was an old farm. It's half the size now- if you can believe it! I loved driving by and seeing some old panel trucks and PU's from the 50's lined up in between the trees.

Yhea thats the one its only ten minutes from me but they mustve closed the doors after the muncher
Its nice to hear somebody is gonna put a floor in instead of pennsylvania patches

I allways find something I can't live without at leesport I will be there looking for "it'
I allways miss that pottsville cruise except the years it rains then Im there alone

hey lap 15 did you ever go to bruce moore's salvage? they used too call it chickenmans somewhere around frystown I think

[lap15]

Yes, It's on Rt 645 (Camp Swatara Rd). Go thru Frystown, turn Left onto Rt. 645, about 1/2 mi on left. I never bought anything there, so I don't know their prices- I think I went there once and asked to buy something off of a truck and they said "No" they were selling the whole thing (it was total junk). If I recall correctly, they have newer stuff (88-98 chevy trks) and they keep all the good stuff in the back, way off the road, and they will not let you go look around. If you google map it- you'll know what I am talking about. I have heard of a huge yard in Bethel Twp called Farnsworth Auto parts (Meckville Rd, maybe?), never been there- have you?

[midniteblues]

A neighbor told me about moore's but he didnt know if they had 67-72's.
I have heard of the farnsworth yard but I've never been there either. I'm gonna have too visit these two yards soon cause I'm curious.

leesport was cool I didnt have a lot of time but I scanned everything quickly asked about a rusty cluster he said "$40" then down the ilse I found a super nice 67-68 cluster he said $5 well I couldnt live without it so iit came home with me.I was hoping to find some very cheap sbc nova headers.

[bobs409]

All I got was a hub cap. A stainless pre-73 cap for a 3/4 ton. Might save it for mine. If not, I'll ebay it.

I really tried to spend some money there but other than that cap and a small french fry, that was all I could find. I usually do better.

Was fun driving the 454 down anyway. Saw a few of "our" style trucks in the parking lot.

Anyone here own an orange (red) one with a Buick hood ornament?

To get this thread on topic again, the posi goes in today.

Hey guys, nice find on the Eaton posi...guess ya beat me to it.(ha-ha)
Actually, I usually go to Harry's..but a lot of their older inventory went to
the crusher. There's also a yard in Slatington I've been to a time
or two. I bought some stock 8 lug wheels there about 10 years
ago..my problem is I rarely find time to go scouting around.I'm
hardly ever around,period. I just wanted to say thanks for the info
on some places I didn't know about.They're a bit of a drive for me
with $4.00/gal. gas prices, but I'll keep them in mind,you never
know,one of these weekends I might actually get caught up on the
wife's "to-do" list,and find the time to see what's out there for
pickin'.
