gcburdic · 06-09-2008, 09:11 AM

Went to the Junk yard Friday to see if they had anything for our trucks....found 4 of them in pretty bad shape, but still had those hard to find parts/ pieces .....here's some pics for your viewing pleasure or displeasure!!!!

gcburdic · 06-09-2008, 09:13 AM

more

gcburdic · 06-09-2008, 09:15 AM

and more...gotta love the 4th pic down....shag carpet on the dash, pillar, door panels!!!

gcburdic · 06-09-2008, 09:24 AM

By the way....Since I know the manager of the junkyard....he took me to a "staging" area where they drain all the fluids out of the vehicles before they go out on the yard (pretty cool operation!!!)....no customers can go into this area without his escort and all the vehicles are not stripped yet!!!....he had 2 more trucks back there....67 LWB stepper with I6...and a 72 LWB fleet with 350.....I'll be headed out there this week to get some stuff!!!

Ackattack · 06-09-2008, 10:16 AM

I went to a local junkyard on Sat. They had a 70 GMC with a great core support. It was in the area not to be taken apart yet, but the guy said it would be ready later this week.

I also found a A/C control panel I'm gonna snag.

babyJay · 06-09-2008, 11:13 AM

In post 2, is that a 50th Anniversary truck?

Putter · 06-09-2008, 11:54 AM

That shag carpet and big boy seat in the next-to-last pic is just Pimp-Tastic.

Luvlegs · 06-09-2008, 12:13 PM

I've been in NC for 9 years but have not seen a single lot like that... What area is that one in?

Luvlegs....this is in Charlotte....where are you located??

Luvlegs · 06-09-2008, 01:21 PM

To the east - Burlington/Graham area -

exmonkeypunk · 06-09-2008, 01:27 PM

wow. I loved and hated seeing those pics. Surprising what possibly usable parts are still on them trucks. If only i could be let loose in a yard for 24 hours. I'd have a whole truck ready to assemble. Makes me wanna check out some yards in this area. Though, i know that they seclude old cars and trucks like that and keep em for people they know and themselves. It's better to drive down south a state or two and pickup what i need.

72BlckButy · 06-09-2008, 03:59 PM

Wow great pics, it looks like there's a lot of great parts available.

PanelDeland · 06-09-2008, 07:46 PM

Luvlegs, I would do a JY crawl with you some Sat.AM.I know where there are a few trucks in a Yard in Winston/Salem.Shoot me a PM if you can free up a Sat.AM

Ol'Rover · 06-09-2008, 08:38 PM

its 67-72 heaven! or grave yard... I belive i see many salvagable parts on them trucks. where is this place!?

Hey PanelDeland.....count me in on the crawl as well....I know of a place in
Winston too....maybe it's the same place you're thinking....is it Hamby's???

**WorkinLonghorn** · 06-10-2008, 08:56 AM

Hey WAIT!! THAT'S MY Truck, Did I park in the wrong place or something? (JK) I'll take the AC stuff off that yellow one. I just made the rounds here,not ONE 67-72 in 10 acre yard.

1969stepside · 06-10-2008, 03:57 PM

if i was you i would get you that ac box off that truck

PanelDeland · 06-10-2008, 07:22 PM

Not Hamby's, maybe we could make a couple of them.The one I know is only open 8:00 to 11:30 on Sat.

Luvlegs · 06-11-2008, 12:16 AM

I might know tomorrow if I can get out sat. am - you guys still up for it?

lpaine · 06-11-2008, 01:00 AM

I remember junkyards, .....(sigh) they seem to be a thing of the past 'round here.

Sinisterspeed · 06-11-2008, 01:18 AM

There still around here but finding anything that still holds anything older than 90s you better call ahead. there are a few in the Portland Oregon area though. If your travel a few miles west you might just find the whole trucks still sitting the the yard in better condition then some that are on the road.......Gotta love the junk yards!
