Me and a buddy of mine went to almost every junkyard we could find today. (We're trying to find a truck he can start playing with) Lots of walking and sticker bushes

But we found a few cool things and some depressing sights but had a fun day looking at everything. Here is just some of what we found...

Wow nice pickings. If you go back, I'd be interested in the seatbelts from the 63 Chevrolet truck. When you flip the buckle on it's back, it should read Irving Airchute Co. Model#5000. Also the aluminum tail light bezels from the Suburban.

Damn! There's no junkyards like that around here anymore. All you can get at a yard now is alate-model front clip or engine and trans...

Thanks for all the cool pics. Love to walk thru the yards, but since I moved to Oklahoma I havent been able to find any cool yards to walk thru.

creep · 03-13-2010, 12:38 PM

Man, if there was a place like that near me I would be snatching up all the old grilles, hoods and GMC parts that they just don't make replacement parts for. Not to hoard them, just so they could be used again and not left to rot or get destroyed by someone who uses a sawzall to remove a headlight.

protrash64 · 03-13-2010, 01:14 PM

Thanx for the tour.....cool pics.

anytime an old truck shows up, it's stripped to nothing in about a day.

oklahomaduner · 03-13-2010, 03:04 PM

I dont know if the mods will allow this but if yall see something that you want pm me and i'll try to chase it down.

markeb01 · 03-13-2010, 04:22 PM

Thanks for sharing!

GMCMG · 03-13-2010, 07:44 PM

I need that burb! Think they'll let it go for it's weight in scrap?

Seriously, where is it? I'd sure be interested in getting it. I need the roof/glass section of one; can be soft and mushy (worthless) everywhere else.

kalirodding · 03-14-2010, 12:51 AM

I hear you gmcmg, take a flat bed and pick that burb up. If i were only closer.

63 extreme low · 03-14-2010, 01:14 AM

Damn, you found the gold mine! Could use some GMC parts, like that instrument cluster.

Well, the burb actually belongs to us.

We picked it up a bit ago to see if it might be easier to use part of the roof/body for my cab extension. It's actually in decent shape and we talked ourselves out of cutting it up for what we are trying to do. I think we're going to try and sell it to somebody that can fix it up right.

Glad to hear it's worth NOT cutting up. How much do you want for it?

Joemomma1 · 03-13-2010, 11:58 PM

That olds!

They really dont waste anything over there, all that crap would of been crushed already. Looks like that burb had factory a/c.
I've never seen so many trannies! Oh wait..there was that one time in Vegas Id rather not remember.
