Junkyard crawl... northern edition - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**too much stuff** · 06-24-2023, 09:24 PM

Went up to alaska for 8 days to visit my brother. I flew in, so no tools or truck to haul things. Still had alot of fun and hit a few yards up just to see what was there. I was surprised how many older vehicles are in the yards. On with the pics....

And yes pic 3 is a set of 4, 15x8 steelies that are probably so buried they may never be found again!

**too much stuff** · 06-24-2023, 09:28 PM

More misc pics before the good ones...

tutone · 06-24-2023, 09:30 PM

That's a shame about those 6 lug steelies. I bought 2 at a swap meet that had been used for a mailbox post. They had a couple of welds to clean up on each.

**too much stuff** · 06-24-2023, 09:31 PM

I am going to add a bunch of square body pics to the abandoned thread on the 73 and up side.

On with the good pics!

**too much stuff** · 06-24-2023, 09:35 PM

And more...

**too much stuff** · 06-24-2023, 09:39 PM

And more yet...

Pic 1 is a radio the was a ceiling mount in a c-70 type truck. I should have grabbed it, but shipping from alaska is VERY expensive, so i was picky about what i bought.

**too much stuff** · 06-24-2023, 09:43 PM

Wish i had a complete burb like this!

**too much stuff** · 06-24-2023, 09:46 PM

And even more...

**too much stuff** · 06-24-2023, 09:50 PM

Last pics, some of the junque i had to pay dearly to ship and a couple of misc.
Hope you enjoyed another "crawl"

**Getter-Done** · 06-24-2023, 09:54 PM

Thanks for the pictures.

If I win the Lottery, I will try to save this from happening.

**72 tigger** · 06-25-2023, 06:58 AM

Cool adventure!
As I was scrolling pics, I was thinking “l bet he found some hooks”

hewittca · 06-25-2023, 09:16 AM

I want to save them all!

Thanks for sharing your adventure. These are always some of the most interesting threads.

**kev2809** · 06-25-2023, 09:51 AM

yuccales · 06-25-2023, 10:19 AM

They guy only wanted $20 or $30 each, but shipping was around $150 each!

I only share them because some people seem to enjoy them. Hoping some get inspired to go out and look and share a story also.

Thanks for sharing, a lot of vehicles that need saving.

54blackhornet · 06-27-2023, 05:26 PM

Alaska is a bucket list destination ! Like going to another planet….thanks for the memories.

**dave6672** · 06-28-2023, 07:10 PM

Thanks for the pics, looks like a good time for sure.

**special-K** · 06-29-2023, 07:07 AM

The first pictures I thought, "Junkyard or scrap heap?". It's good to see they do salvage parts. That K/20 Suburban!! I'm speachless

BLAZERMAN · 06-30-2023, 01:34 AM

Looks like a fun trip! That roof .out radio pod would have been cool to have. I saw one like it in a C/60 years ago.

That stands out to me as well. Eric, would you mind running back up there and grab that? Just don't bring anything in your luggage. It should fit. I'll even pay an extra 20 bucks!

That burb was sad to see with that list of options. I wanted the glove box door but figured i would leave it in hopes someone wants to save the rest. I bought the hubs off it was all.

If shipping wasn't so crazy i would have grabbed it. It was cool and in decent condition.

I will get right on it tim. Just keep an eye on the mail for it...

**special-K** · 07-01-2023, 10:40 AM

A good while back I spotted a '71 K/20 Suburban sitting. Looked it over and it had all the options you could want. They had pulled the badass engine they built and selling w/o engine. And I had a '71 truck 350 ready to slip in. I thought they wanted too much for back then and I only messed with rust free. This thing had pretty bad rust. Years later I meet Jeff's Bowtie and he knew exactly what Suburban I was talking about. I don't think there's a 67-72 sitting within site of the road in the MD/VA/PA/WVA 4-state area we don't know about. both have eagle eyes for these trucks. You never saw such a suburban in this area. I wish I had coughed up the money
