I went junkyard walking last Friday and took some pics.
HERE YOU GO

Dean23 · 11-03-2003, 11:00 PM

wow, i have tears in my eyes. The first one looks in decent shape, the seat in it is immaculate. some cool pics though

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 11-03-2003, 11:01 PM

The 1st green truck look's to good to be in the bone yard..

lukecp · 11-03-2003, 11:03 PM

Poor trucks

That green '72 looked like it had alot of parts i need.....too bad it is in GA....

C10Squared · 11-03-2003, 11:05 PM

The green pics were taken the week before. It's the reason I went back...to get the grille and front bumper for my truck. Too bad they sold the whole front clip the day before I went back. I think the seat is still available. $100 if I remember correctly. Cab and bed had a bit of rust. I was thinking of getting the rear and front suspension for my 5 lug conversion, but I'm getting a complete frame instead.

Brings a tear to your eyes when you one of these fine trucks sitting in the junk yard. That green one needs to be saved

C10Squared · 11-03-2003, 11:15 PM

Haha. I just looked at those pics again and realized that truck has a tilt column. I took the pics before I was looking for a column. I'm gonna high tail it over there tomorrow to see if they took the column with the front clip.

That's a mean looking spider in that last pic!!!

What kind of spider is that?

cableguy0 · 11-03-2003, 11:17 PM

wow that green one is in better shape than my daily driver i hate md and the damn road salt and moron drivers

greenhorn male · 11-03-2003, 11:18 PM

I was just going to ask, what did they ask for the tilt column? I hope it is still there if it is a truck tilt.

**Canadian694x4** · 11-03-2003, 11:19 PM

Poor Trucky Trucks...

It's the dead kind now. I swear it looked at me threateningly.

69sixpackbee · 11-03-2003, 11:21 PM

WOAH

MOPARS & TRUCKS!!!TOO COOL!!!!

jugernot · 11-03-2003, 11:22 PM

You will never find anything like that in my neck of the woods. They are usually all picked clean. What a treasure.

You wouldn't believe how many old Mopars and other muscle cars are out there rusting away. Those were taken in the "restricted" part of the yard where noone is allowed to go. That's why I don't have more pics...I was ducking and running. hehe.

C10Squared · 11-04-2003, 10:59 AM

Guys, how much is a factory truck tilt column worth?

That's no spider, that's the freakin' ANTI-CHRIST! Bah! The only good spider is a dead one. Creepy little, ummm... creeps.

Primered_69 · 11-04-2003, 11:49 AM

I paid 175 for my factory tilt from a board member

Deryl · 11-04-2003, 01:51 PM

Hey EFI-street I live in Douglasville. Where is that junkyard? I wish I had seen that green truck before you. I need that front bumper and I could stand to pick over the rest of it.

*dtlilly* · 11-04-2003, 02:06 PM

How much does he want for the grille on that green truck?

krazy_texan · 11-04-2003, 03:09 PM

that dang spider is what we call a banana spider around here and for some of the ones i have seen that is a very small one i usually go out in the back yard and shoot them with my bb gun.

oh and that is a great find

highboy_04 · 11-04-2003, 03:14 PM

the whole front clip on that green truck were sold.

C10Squared · 11-04-2003, 03:41 PM

Deryl, shoot me an email and we'll meet up and go by there sometime. I will be getting a '71-72 frame soon and may need some more parts off it myself.

C10Squared · 11-04-2003, 03:42 PM

As an aside, Highboy_04, do you have any full sized pics of your avatar? Looks like a toy in that small pic.

Hooter · 11-04-2003, 03:49 PM
