A different wrecking yard thread

My last score at the J.Y. (junkyard) off an uncle Danny original 67.

Notice I'm holding up 5 fingers, that's because that's how much I paid for these parts. He wanted 40 if he removed them or 5 if I did it myself. Some of the straightest sheetmetal I've seen. I once bought an NOS 68 fender from GM dealer that needed more body work than these did.

I have a secret J.Y. that's way off the beaten path. It's packed with 67-72 trucks, and subs. There are three Blazers too if I remember right. And no freakin way am I tellin anybody where it is. It's an 6 hour round trip for me to go there, so it's in the sticks.

Got bit by a wild dog there too. Hope I don't get rabies. If I die within the next 10 days of rabies, I guess my secret will die with me.

I'm guessing it is southwest of you. Will you take me if I agree to wear a blindfold? or out towards Lubbock? I had a friend who did some work up in Lubbock and was there for a week. Called me every twenty minutes it seemed like... telling me... " I found you another truck...."

Krazy Texan there is enough "gold" in the J.Y. that you work in, to keep you busy for along time. Back in the very back of your work's yard, along the fence, there are some very valuable parts that I've been too lazy to go pull.

Bet you can't figure out what I'm talkin about either......<hint> they're on Buicks <hint>
