I sure love those junkyard pictures. When i was in High School ('75) there was an area full of junkyards not far from me. One was FULL of AD trucks. Another one had a running '57 Buick Roadmaster I could have bought for $75 but my dad nixed the idea. This was in Santa Paula, California, off Wells road I believe - they may still be there.

I have to admit I didn't remember askng for more junkyard pictures but, I glad you remembered.
I have a soft spot for those 1940's KB's. My first vehicle was a 47 KB-5. It wasn't the coolest car in the parking lot in high school but it was the biggest.

Nice pics guys! Eric, have you picked over the black cheyenne super truck pretty good?

Looks more like someone's personal collection (hoarding) than a junkyard.

Memory jolt! I remember the old yards in Santa Paula and all the great early iron in them! I remember all kinds of stuff that was "cheap" I wish I had today. Sadly those yards are gone but there is a pick the part out there that has something old every now and then.

These pics are from 3 different yards. Everything was for sale and the few parts i bought were reasonable.

Sorry, wasn't doubting that he pics are actually from salvage yards, but these yards are way different than what i am used to in Texas where cars are practically jammed on top of each other in barren muddy yards. I would love to walk the yards in the photos.
