I'm not looking for any specific part/s , but does anyone know of any yards in the Central/West Michigan area with older (70's) trucks still in them?

I know of Bud's, outside of Greenville, but that's about it. I'm in Ionia BTW.

 

Not really. Most guys are taking to the internet and selling now. Also with places like LMC and Jeffs Bronco Graveyard you can pretty much buils a truck from nothing if you have a frame and title.

There are a couple swap meets coming up. April 16 is the big one in Hudsonville.

I know a few people with these trucks, what might you be needing in the future

 

Swaneys in East Jordan. Nowhere close to you.

 

And a giant credit card limit lol. I'll have to check out the Hudsonville deal.

I also have a 73 C10, but the big Ford related part's I'll be getting sometime this year are a 78-79 Steering box.

 

That's hilarious, my GF is from East Jordan, we have a cabin up there and go there three or four times a year lol.I'll have to remember that!

 

These are the guys to call on a steering box.
