i bet
up here they don't keep cars/trucks long in a yard it seems
crush the old wreaks out yearly, most yards
i guess they lose money the more steel rusts out lol
i will say my last trip threw one yard got my email on a list
they seem to be doing fun weird, joke, promo, stuff random sales,one even was to, tell one of the counter staff he had a nice beard or something for a free parts pull that day
getting an email "all seats this week 9.99"......could change/make your mind on where to go

just list new stock ,in emails lol

Ohh man I wish they had stuff like that near me. My yard would look like the Sanford homestead. I don't think the neighbors would be too happy. When I had my shop I had some old truck beds with caps on them and had one full of transmissions and transfer cases, another full of engines of all shapes and sizes, then I had an old truck frame with a bunch of rearends and driveshafts stacked on it. The real prize was the old Suburban packed with doors and fenders and any other body panel I could squeeze in it. I sold off what I could when I got out of the shop and had to junk a whole lot. I still think of all the good stuff I let go for scrap every now and then

[motornut]

even back a few years the pickens were better
before i'd buy a whole truck,bring it home.....now i gotta hide em.....spread the wealth around lol

[motornut]

well the 79 Jimmy is at it's new home
i'll get out there tommorrow...it's about a half hour from the house

[motornut]

needs work lol I'll say,but it runs good, drove it around the yard, I bet it can plow!
turned it off and noticed a hose leak by the flusher

[motornut]

prob start with valve covers
re fix the batts
and this door ?
kink at the sending unit...

[kikkegek]
