I think i found the black hole of 67-72 chevy trucks in Iowa today. went to a yard that had a good line up of "project" up front, and found out that they have about 10 acres of yard behind the main building.

And in that yard, i found approximately 200 67-72 trucks. Once we got to the end, and started walking back, i started to count. I got to about 80 and gave up. When i looked up, i realized i wasn't even half way done...

best part? I had my camera with me. Here's one pic to look at. I'll post more later after i resize them.

Oh, don't PM me, or ask me if they have, or to go get, parts. That's not what this thread is about. Sorry

KMACD71 · 02-20-2009, 03:50 PM

Nice find. Do they have any....? Just kidding.

**68350** · 02-20-2009, 04:00 PM

Was there anything good? Can't wait for pics.

**Hart_Rod** · 02-20-2009, 04:05 PM

big_al_71 · 02-20-2009, 04:26 PM

Thats awesome thks for sharing!!!

Gumby'sC20 · 02-20-2009, 04:44 PM

Ah, so THAT'S where they're hiding them....

metalman1968 · 02-20-2009, 04:46 PM

Wow...... I am sure I could find something there better than what I have been seeing for sale. It is almost like sending the owner of the yard $3000.00 and saying ship me your worst one.

Just a reminder...

Awesome find! Address? I may have to plan an Iowa trip...

IvelDesigns · 02-20-2009, 04:58 PM

i won't have time to post pics until later (sorry, got to get some work done after playing in the "yard" this morning), but i can't think of a single option i didn't see out there.

well, i guess i didn't see any tool box doors out there, but i wasn't really looking.

From big blocks, to A/C, to buckets (and lots of them) to tach dashes, they have them all.

IvelDesigns · 02-20-2009, 05:01 PM

oh, there was this beauty out there... 98% solid. just some minor rust behind the driverside rear wheel.

ok, now back to work....

*OBTG62* · 02-20-2009, 05:07 PM

Sooooo, What is the location? Thanks

teeitup · 02-20-2009, 05:11 PM

Wow Levi, nice find!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would of been in heaven with you!!!!

Apparently there isn't a big demand for them. I've got a rust free one that no one seems to want......

IvelDesigns · 02-20-2009, 05:15 PM

how many pre-67's can you spot in this pic?

LUV2XCLR8 · 02-20-2009, 05:19 PM

WOWSERS, I saw alot of Blazer's/Jimmy's in those pic's.

You could get out of debt selling parts on here from there

orangek5 · 02-20-2009, 05:33 PM

I WANT 2 B U

dan42 · 02-20-2009, 05:39 PM

Looks like a pilgramage of sorts is in order-

**too much stuff** · 02-20-2009, 05:44 PM

Awesome!!! More pics! The big question, do they sell many parts, and if so are they reasonable?

BLAZERMAN · 02-20-2009, 05:46 PM

Well it took you long enough to find it!!

I use to go to that yard several times a year..its been about 3 years since my last trip up there tho. You can easily spend the better part of a day walking the rows

**68350** · 02-20-2009, 05:51 PM

Are they reasonably priced??
