Hit a new yard today. Some pretty neat things still there. I found out they just crushed a 70 3/4 ton 4x4 CREW CAB (Railroad). I wish i could have seen that one. I did get some good parts today for a fair price however. Enjoy the pics.

**too much stuff** · 04-13-2009, 08:07 PM

Batch number 2
I know there are some "off" brands pictured, but it is nice to see not everything got crushed last year!

**too much stuff** · 04-13-2009, 08:11 PM

And even some more.

**too much stuff** · 04-13-2009, 08:17 PM

And the last pics. Check out the spid if it is legible. Unusual to have that many options without being a CST or deluxe i thought.
And a few pics of todays haul. Beats the heck out of workin'
Enjoy...

wow wish i could walk that yard a day or two ..what was the car in back of the orange truck ? a 40 ford? nice pics thanks

WillW23 · 04-13-2009, 08:31 PM

sweet, I love old bone yards! I love to get that full tach dash for 67-72 truck.

tcb-1 · 04-13-2009, 08:33 PM

I was just about to ask if the wrecker had a speed warning setup.... then you hit me with a pic of the one you got! you dog you!!! if by chance your selling, aw nothing. I can't afford it!

very cool stuff there. looks like the light blue 65-66 has some nice bumper guards. you might pic those up the next time your there. pretty sure you could sell those for a profit!

the air gauge is also somethng that you could probably turn a coin on too......

**72 Super** · 04-13-2009, 08:42 PM

looks like you had a lucky day there, there isn't much around here like that.

Ram-Man · 04-13-2009, 08:50 PM

This nice weather here gets me in the mood to wander around a yard like this. too much stuff, the orange 67 is still sitting in the weeds about 1 mile past Mcgregor I think you should give it a home.

BADSAM · 04-13-2009, 09:30 PM

I need a towel ... for the drool!

teeitup · 04-13-2009, 09:34 PM

The wrecker had nothing. The speedwarning came from the black 1/2 ton longbox. I have never seen a speedwarning in anything heavier than a 3/4 ton. I know people say the big trucks had them, but i have never seen it.

I am not sure what the old coupes were, but there were a few.

72 super, it takes alot of walking and driving to have 1 good day. I should post pics of how many times i don't find anything. HaHa

Ram-man. I know, I know. I have to get that direction soon. Dang working for a living is getting in the way...

big_al_71 · 04-13-2009, 09:48 PM

cool picts!!
thks for sharing..

Randy, I actually went over the top of my boots a couple times. Hard to believe it was almost 50 today.

Thanks for the compliments.

X3 on that big rig and did you get those gauges?

drivethechevy · 04-14-2009, 01:04 AM

that is a nice collection of classic vehicles

congrats on scoring the gauges, very sweet!
you still got quite a bit more snow left up there in northern mn then we do over here in the west central mn
were all really glad its 90% gone here, all that snow was really no fun the last few storms

red71c10 · 04-14-2009, 02:04 AM

I'm digging the '53 Aero Willys! That's on my someday list. Great little cars!!!

I think he already did.

You had me at the wrecker,then it just got better.Where`s the junkyard pictures?I don`t see any junk!

There`s a push me pull you just like that up in PA that I really wanted to get.It looked retired and was sitting at a house mover`s lot.I`m guessing they were possibly make for aircraft towing.There`s three window in the firewall area on the back(?

) side.But,they are very heavy built.Definately some sort if prime mover...Cool Stuff!!

Was that a retracyable hardtop next to the Ranchero?Both are primo projects for an off brander.

**too much stuff** · 04-14-2009, 08:23 AM

Yes i got the gauges pictured plus a complete set of big block a/c brackets from the black truck pictured. There are more parts on the black truck yet. Hope they are still there next time i get there. It was a pretty good drive to get to this place.
Anyone notice the hockey puck cab lights?
The willys looked pretty decent yet.
The wrecker is also complete and looked too good to be in there.
No idea what the big yellow rig is...

**jerry moss** · 04-14-2009, 09:07 AM

that's quite a score for one day,Eric. congrats !!!!
