Junk Yard Find
Had some time to kill Friday and went to a local U-Pullit junk yard. Asked the guy if he had any 60-66 Chevy Trucks, He said no. I said I'll pay my $2.00 and just go and look around. he said " If we have any they would be back by the 63 GMC" I was like what.......Why looking at the truck look what was on the other side of the blue van, a 60 GMC......

Re: Junk Yard Find
Just talked to a guy at the junk yard and he said they don't sell whole trucks. I know I don't need any of the 60 parts but may have to get some and save them from the crusher.

Re: Junk Yard Find
Dang! That's too bad. That panel looks pretty clean. Who's willing to drive through the fence with a trailer tonight?

Re: Junk Yard Find
Ask him how much he'll take for ALL the parts on the panel?

Re: Junk Yard Find
The you pull it here in nashville will sell you a pickup cab for 175. Maybe you could get him to sell the body? Of course you would still have the title / VIN # to deal with sine they probably won't give you that with it.
How were the fenders ? I am looking for some for my truck I hate to part up the panel, but if it would keep the fenders from the crusher. Last edited by MTPockets; 07-27-2009 at 02:31 PM. |

Re: Junk Yard Find
I wish the junk yards around me had old trucks. I would love to go to one out west, maybe find some 305 v6 parts or power steering parts. I bought a spare grille (non chrome) at a swap meet and cost me $50. I started thinking about stocking up on parts for our trucks that aren't reproduced like hoods and GMC and 60-63 chevy grilles. Not to make any money, just to keep them from being scrapped.
