Wanted to send out a BIG thanks to you guys for a fun weekend!!!....
Luvlegs was in search of a JY in the area and Deland suggested a JY crawl....I know of one kinda between us all so we met there last Saturday morning!!!.....We spent 4 hours there going through everything at this JY property....we learned some things we didn't know, found somethings we didn't have, and looked at somethings we wished we had....The only unfortunate issue we had, was the JY owner thought his stuff was priceless....want $600 for BBC brackets?!??!....seemed to be WAY to high...I guess we should have been warned we he said "he had a tough month", prior to us going through his property....OH well....it was great meeting up with these guys and as Luvlegs said....I've never met a board member that I didn't like!!!.....
We did mange to get back to where I am working on my truck for a little show and tell.....Luvlegs had to scram from there, BUT I want to say a REALLY big thanks to Deland for hanging with me for several more hours and helping me with installing my door lock rods and heater box on the firewall!!!

Thanks again Guys....we need to schedule another JY crawl soon!!!

AAAAAMen! To add to the unfortunate part of the deal, not only to have all the big block stuff laid out, I had a couple rear wheel tubs and a big block shroud LOADED in the truck - When he said $750, I was in sticker shock.... DEFINATELY one of the more humiliating moments in my life.. taking parts back out of my truck and returning to the yard... IF I wanted them that bad, I would have paid but felt it was just tooooo unreasonable.
I learned some stuff, got to hang with G and Panel and check out G's sweet truck in progress... It was a good day for sure.

I had a blast.geoffs truck is going to be nice.I really like the color he chose.The JY was a great place to spend a morning but not a great place to find a deal.I know we saw about 20 rides either completed or in progress and some of them were pretty rare.There were probably 30 or more 67-72 Chevy trucks and a few either side and some other rare and not so rare chevys.I had the camera in the truckk but forgot to take it with.I'll be checking out another new yard or two in the next few weeks and hopefully we can do it again.
BTW Is moral support still help? Because Geoffs truck is so nice I was afraid to help much for fear of scratching it.
