Found a GOLDMINE of cheap parts!
well i've always read and heard stories of people who find those places tucked way back in the woods or off of a beaten path with hundreds of classic cars and trucks that no one ever seems to know about. well i got lucky and turns out just down the road from my child hood home there was such a place. well unfortunatly the man has passed away late this summer and the kids are cleaning up the property to sell the land. I stopped out there today hoping i wasn't too late to still get some parts. The one son-in-law told me they had already crushed 200+ cars and trucks but there were still a bunch there.
At any rate if anyone is looking for parts i'll be out there again next weekend to get some for myself and i can look and get some pictures and prices. (I picked up a bench seat, original steering wheel, mirrors, heater controls, and boxes and boxes of bolts/nuts/washers/ all for $30!!!!) here's some pictures to wet everyone's whistles :) sorry for the pictures but all i had on me was my cell phone, and these pictures certainly don't cover everything that's out there http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/r...01107-1421.jpg http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/r...01107-1419.jpg http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/r...01107-1418.jpg http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/r...01107-1417.jpg http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/r...01107-1417.jpg http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/r...01107-1417.jpg http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/r...01107-1416.jpg http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/r...01107-1415.jpg http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/r...01107-1415.jpg http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/r...01107-1411.jpg http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/r...01107-1410.jpg http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/r...01107-1410.jpg http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/r...01107-1409.jpg http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/r...01107-1409.jpg http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/r...01107-1409.jpg http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/r...01107-1408.jpg http://i468.photobucket.com/albums/r...01107-1406.jpg |

Re: Found a GOLDMINE of cheap parts!
As a kid I never paid any attention to the stuff there until I got older. When he retired he bought and sold vehicles and parts to make some extra money. Its always neat to see all the history at places like these

Re: Found a GOLDMINE of cheap parts!
Man, I'd love to get my hand on a couple of good 69-70 chevy grills for cheap. And maybe a rust and straight tailgate. Why does everyone else find the good stuff? :lol:

Re: Found a GOLDMINE of cheap parts!
I'm a short drive from Oxford. I'd love to see it!
|
Re: Found a GOLDMINE of cheap parts!
Wow, what a score....If I was close I'd take all the trim and of course look all the trucks over for buckets, tach dashes, speedminders, tow hooks, good vent window glass, big block parts, 292's with PS parts, A/C parts, etc etc ;)

Re: Found a GOLDMINE of cheap parts!
Looks Awesome, I'm surprised leon never found that place lol. If you see any good 69-70 grills let me know, I'm just a hop skip and a bounce away.

Re: Found a GOLDMINE of cheap parts!
Well guys like I said there's a ton of good parts out there and ill be out there saturday if anyone wants to meet me to go take a look. The trick will be to see if I can get the parts without having to buy the whole truck. Indyuke I hear ya about finding the hidden treasures. This is one of the first I've came across personally, that's why I'm trying to share the wealth. Its a shame that there's so many solid trucks out there and they're going to meet the crusher if no one saves them :(

Re: Found a GOLDMINE of cheap parts!
hey brothers, i'll let ya know but there's a few guys around me that wanna go look to so i was thinking early afternoon on saturday. i was able to get the phone number of the son-in-law so i can make sure him and his boy are out there to work out the pricing. i'd just hate for you guys to make the drive then not be able to take anything home with you. i'll try to keep this thread updated with pictures and some prices for everyone.

Re: Found a GOLDMINE of cheap parts!
Sweet find! Are there any Longhorns or decent suburbans there? I couldn't come saturday, but maybe Sunday.
|
Re: Found a GOLDMINE of cheap parts!
this makes me wanna cry. will you ship items, if so, how much for a 69-70 grill in decent shape, and a pair of chrome tail/reverse light trim pieces
|
Re: Found a GOLDMINE of cheap parts!
young buck, there's plenty of grills out there and i'm pretty sure i saw the tail lights you're after, i'll get prices for everyone on sunday and some more pictures so people can decide if they want some parts or not. yes i'll ship them. all though i might be picking peoples brains about the best way to go about it.
|
Re: Found a GOLDMINE of cheap parts!
how ever it works out. im looking for just the chrome trim, not the actual tail light though, like whats on the bed in pic # 3
|
Re: Found a GOLDMINE of cheap parts!
You can purchase new ones fairly reasonable, just an FYI.
