Thread: Picking the Junkyard, Need Anything??

Tweet

going to a sweet lil honey hole me n my buddy picked through a couple weeks back, it's out in BFE and nobody goes there, basically it was the ole mans car collection that turned scrap yard, junk yard after he died. that being said were going back with every intention to land another nice score for the two of us. if theres vintage parts your looking for just reply with a part number or picture and i'll see what i can find this time out. no were not pickers or anything like that but we do know whats what when were looking through these places lookin for our own parts. theres basically mid 20's through early 60's for about 90% of the yard and probably half that is 20's-40's stuff. no complete cars unfortunatley prior to 1948 but plenty of parts. Just thought id throw it out there for fellow members since im going anyways. if you PM me just gimme your email since my phone actually works out there lol.

I will follow up after this weekend with some pictures, heck maybe you'll see something i don't?

A '49-'52 Chevy, Buick, Pontiac, Olds, or Caddy "fastback" with solid body... for a project.

Thanks

any two door ford something that will hold a 429 wedge ..

Mello yello has a friend in Alberta whose looking for a park lamp bezel for a 1952 GMC pickup..Hopefully meller will see this and PM ya..Will give him a nudge..

i actually have a contact that only does 1st n 2nd series GMC n Chevy's so i'll check with him first, mostly does the fleet sides n cameos but he's got so much stuff out there from his earlier days of doing the trucks i'd be hard pressed to think he wouldn't have it
