Save the trucks

Here is another CL ad with a bunch of just about everything. Some Ford trucks. Looks like they are in desperate need of rescue.

Looks like a late 40s - early 50s Chevy COE to me.

There's a whole lotta iron oxide parked among the trees... I'm guessing that the yard has been picked numerous times and these are the scraps. Just a shame, really. That's not too far from Cody and some other FTEers.

I think whom ever took the pictures had no clue.

I would love to see what this lime green one is
hiding back here.

I am a sucker for wreckers.

So where is this yard? I don't have a clue
as to Kalamazoo. Don't look like Kansas Toto.
Or Arizona.

Western lower Michigan. South of Grand Rapids and East of Lake Michigan shoreline. There should be more snow on the ground now...

It's most definitely cooler than here. We don't have any snow.
On again off again. Just like the Pacific North West or BC. WET

That Chev COE wrecker looks bad ***
and could be a lot of fun. Luv the front bumper and low stance.
Junk yard Dawg is so right.
A V6 53 and a 5 & 4 would get her to squall like a beach.
Slam yer hand in the door first thing in the morn and
drive all day like ya hate her.

Than park it at the yard and drive home in the monkey face
or Super Duty.

Wow I would grab that chevy cabover in a minute if it were here. Problem here in Ny is anything sitting that long has nothing left below the seat cushion.
