    Junk yard find ! Empty Junk yard find !

    Post by whopman Mon Oct 25, 2010 3:35 am

    The wife found a junk yard that is closed down. Did some research and found the owner. 82 year old man. Called him and he met me there Sunday morning. Walked the 6 acres with him for 3 hours. He had a story on every car there. Wow this old man could tell some stories. Anyway here is some of what he has... a 64 chevy van with a handy van drivers door, 67 chevy heavy duty 108 with a v8 (283) dog house typical rust issues, 4 or 5 greenbriars one ramp side, 4 or 5 econolines and 1 econoline pick up, and a bunch of old chevy and ford trucks,......most of the stuff is pretty rusty he has 15 corvair cars scattered about...old mercury wagons and even an s22 mercury or ford can't remeber said it was an original 4 speed straight six...the bodies on most of the vans have some good sheet metal the doors are ok not great. Found a antenna mount on the 64 chevy drivers side just above the headlight???? don't know if this was an original piece or not????
    If anyone is looking for a particular part they have been unable to find let me and I will make a trip there to see if it is available. I will get a price from him and let you know.

    Did you take any pictures while you were there in the tour? That yard sounds like a cool place to look around. Cool

    I need the backup lights on those Econo pickups if you can get them. You should get all metal glove box doors, headlight bezel in good shape, horn buttons(I need two), tail light and turn signal buckets are good to have too.
