Ahoy, Texans!! Com'in Your Way...Any Good Yards?
Last time I was out in San Antonio I went to the pick-n-pull behind the flea market on Somerset Rd. (we call 'em swap meets ) and found some good stuff. I am coming with a trailer this time I noticed a couple of yards on the stroll down there but am unsure if they are a self-serve type.
Can you guys point me in the direction of a few good places to stop? Thanx! |

Sorry to sway from the original post but was wondering.........Hey Dave, you were in Montana recently and posted here of a couple nice rides for sale in the Missoula area. Could you tell me where you saw them.......what used dealer was selling them or maybe the general area where they were at? I'm headed there over the 4th and wanted to see them if they are still for sale then. Thanks.

if you're head to south padre area..
You'll be going through Harlingen I'm sure to get to Brownsville or PI. There in Harlingen you can take Exp. 83 going West toward Mcallen. Right out of Harlingen you notice lots of yards all the way up to San Juan Tx. I lived there before moving up to Dallas. You should be able to find lots of parts....

Small world indeed. PSJA grad? I grad. in 1979...whew, a long time ago. The valley has changed a ton since I lived there. I do miss cruzin' 10 street in my '69 Camaro way back then.
Mike
