found a "private junkyard" !

Made a call yesterday to an individual's house. Found out he was a Ford lover, especially trucks. Had about 25 vehicles out back, almost pure Ford, mostly trucks, from 60's thru 80's. Found a '70 model 300 cheap that I'll probably get from him as well as some needed body parts for my '86. Gonna hit him up about the 2 short bed mid-80s complete trucks he's got sitting there. I can't post any of his info as he wants his privacy respected, but he's both using them for parts on his own projects as well as scrapping stuff out for money, so if anybody has any special requests, I'll try to fix you up if possible. I'll be doing some welder work for him in trade for free/cheap stuff myself, but he explained that he normally checks 2 or 3 junkyards, gets the lowest price and undercuts that a little. Had a few cars there as well, but they're mostly spoken for. At least one full size old lincoln with a 460, plus a couple 428's & 429's. Had a car-hauler truck that he uses based on a '67 F250 crew-cab. He said the prev owner had put a Chevy engine in it, but that he was yanking that for the 460 to go in it's place. Pretty cool find. I'm pretty stoked about getting over there again when I'm not as pressed for time. It's kinda out in the boonies though, but he'll deliver stuff to the area of my parents house, so that's pretty cool too.

He had a couple of 4WD's there. Give me any specifics about years, etc., as I'm not up on Dana stuff to know what I'm asking for. I'll be talking to him again about the middle of next week.

A cheap Ford Dana HP 60 would be a great find.

Where are you located?

I have one you can have for free.

It's out of an 1989 F150 and includes the long block only.

No brackets or valve cover but it's 100% free.

This offer is for anyone.

The engine ran before I pulled it, prob would need internals checked but it's free for pickup in Findlay Ohio.

Located in middle Tennessee, just outside Nashville. I'm trying to get a list together before I call him. His "collection" was heavy on late 60's and early 80's stuff (seemed to be a bit of a gap in the mid 70's models). You might want to send me a private message about what you're looking for with any specifics. True that for many things you're best to check a local yard, but I thought I might be able to help someone with some of those "hard to find" items. I'll also try to get together a list of what years he's got sitting around and what condition they're in. When I was there the other day I was in a bit of a hurry and was a little overwhelmed at the sight of so much stuff in one spot. I might try to get out there again this weekend if I don't get stuck working.
