Who is hiding all of the decent salvage yards for 67-72 trucks? If not MD, Mid Atlantic region. I'm searching for a decent shortbed amongst other things, all to no avail!

Thought some may have some spots!

 

There is a yard near Hagerstown That I used to use quite a bit, had 155 acres of cars, and 55 acres of trucks. I haven't been there in years, so I have no idea what's left. There used to be stuff in there from the 30's.

It was called Grimm's junk yard, but I think after the old man died, they called it Elwoods Auto Exchange. It's on route 64 between Smithsburg, and Hagerstown

 

Ill check it out and report back what it's like there now!

Thanks

 

Cool, if you need directions, let me know.

I grew up near ther. That yard kept a lot of my stuff running. There used to be 3 or 4 unibodys in there. I may have to take a road trip when I can walk again!

 

There is a crazy ray's up there in jessup or elkridge.. I haven't been in but don't bother calling asking if they have any bumps cause they aren't too friendly. It is just a pick place looks pretty big from google earth.

 

Crazy Rays is also on Fort Smallwood road. Thy say the same thing. Uou have to go look, and the invetory changes constantly. They scrap them pretty quick out of there. I got a lot of 80-86 stuff from them

 

You may have to go south or west for decent sheetmetal for them, I know a good guy in NC that gets good sheetmetal from out west and brings it back.

 

Has anyone delt with a decent junkyard on the eastern shore? Still looking for a decent running 351w at a reasonable price.

 

Charlie is our eastern shore specialist, He would know

 

They're getting fewer, esp. for anything older. Around here is Mitchell's and foy's in greensboro. Have you checked del.?

 

Not yet. I have been working on pulling the old one apart so I can go ahead and pull it out of the truck and clean up the engine bay in hopes of finding one. The truck is not going to be a daily driver, just a huntin truck so I'm actually thinking of looking to go carb instead of another fuel injected.

 

I kinda old school, I would too. I have a 300 6 cylinder on my engine stand, you could have for free if you want it, it's an old one. I've never had it apart it was in a parts truck I bought, don't have the heart to throw it away. You can't kill those things and I think the motor mounts are the same as the 302/351's. Something to thionk about anyhow.

Dumb question but will it bolt up to a C6 auto?

 

Hopefully Charlie will chime in here, but believe they have the same bellhousing.

 

If so you have just made my summer!!! I'll take it! What all would I need to do to it?
