**too much stuff** · 06-24-2021, 09:23 PM

I won some signs on an online auction recently (about 3 hours away) and figured i may as well stop at a junk yard on the way home that i haven't been to for years. Needless to say, i had fun. Not alot of trucks there, but enough good ones to make it interesting.
On with the pics...
Nicely optioned...

**too much stuff** · 06-24-2021, 09:26 PM

More yard pics...

**too much stuff** · 06-24-2021, 09:31 PM

And more. The last one was a 72 military burb.

**too much stuff** · 06-24-2021, 09:35 PM

And a 67 gmc that looks very much like my driver...
The last pic is mine for comparison.

**too much stuff** · 06-24-2021, 09:38 PM

And of course the days haul...
The heater came out of the military burb.

68Gold/white · 06-24-2021, 09:39 PM

wow...thanks for sharing!!!

**too much stuff** · 06-24-2021, 09:41 PM

Last pics. Sure beat working on that day. The buckets seats are rough, but couldn't see leaving them behind. Now get out there and start looking, there are still some goodies to be found!

Tuff Gong · 06-24-2021, 09:42 PM

2 set of buddy buckets?

Tuff Gong · 06-24-2021, 09:43 PM

Cool find.

CG · 06-24-2021, 09:52 PM

What ... Where is the snow???

What is that dohicky with the GM logo on it, some sort of heater? I feel like Ive seen one on the board before.

Correct. If you look at the pic in post 2 of the silver and red trucks in front of one another, both were CST trucks with buckets. Hard enough to find one set, yet alone 2 next to each other.

Snow just melted a couple days ago... Seriously, We actually had frost here around the time it was in the 90s for highs a couple weeks ago.
That is an under seat heater for blazers or burbs.

I would be in hog heaven if we had any salvage yards around here like that. Great score! And thanks for sharing.

Nice haul Eric.

Looks like they have a few non truck jewels also. Maybe a '57 or '58 Buick in the distance?

Awesome... Sure doesn't look like MN or WI to me. You can grab that jimmy for me...

**raggedjim** · 06-24-2021, 10:49 PM

You didn't snag the 67 GMC custom badges?!?

Happy_dan · 06-25-2021, 07:16 AM

Do I spy a 3/4 hubcap there?

**68bowtie** · 06-25-2021, 09:07 AM

Very nice!!

**MJN** · 06-25-2021, 01:06 PM

too cool! That 56 got my attention.
That military burb is different, a '72 with the mirror mounted above the windshield?

rockyrivermark · 06-25-2021, 01:58 PM

They ship? I need oem windshield trim

RichardJ · 06-25-2021, 02:49 PM

Nice looking yard, even if you have to lay in the dirt and weeds to pull parts. Last Fri I was at a Pick-a-part in Santa Fe Springs, CA. It was all concrete, but with an inch of grease and oil covering the entire yard.
I had to put my shoes on cardboard in the back of the truck and drive the 55 miles home in my socks.
Older selection of vehicles and in the dirt looks pretty good from here.

**dagnabbitt** · 06-25-2021, 03:00 PM

OH my god I wish there was a yard like that near me. 2 sets of buddies, just sitting there? Wow.

52napco · 06-25-2021, 08:45 PM

Wanna sell the K30 hubcap ???
