All were for sale except for the red F150 in the middle; the rest were all pretty parted out though.

That flatbed sure has a nice looking front end and what looks to be rust free sheet metal. Cant find that around here.

No picture but I'm watching Devil's Highway about tow truck drivers on Donner pass in the Sierra Nevada Mtns on Net Geo and the tow truck guys pulls up in a Dent Side tow truck. Really Cool!

OK went to there web site and found these pictures.

To me - they can be sunk 5 feet in the ground at the boneyard and I still think they're cool

Absolutely. I enjoy just looking around the salvage yards, I might hit a big one in Mt. Airy MD this weekend, really looking forward to it.

I'd love to have some more yards around me.. preferably with dents. Pretty rare around here, so every few years or so when I see one it's pretty shocking. lol

That tow truck brings back memories of my tow truck driving days back in the late 70's and early 80's. F350's where the trucks of choice when it came to tow truck companies. I took the Candy Cane to Truckee last year and had lunch downtown and drove around sight seeing (After working of course) but never spotted that fine truck. I have another trip planned for that part of the county soon, maybe I'll try to find that truck.

Does that sign mean you can trespass before 5 p.m.?
