Junkyard surfing
Well, I went junkyard surfing today. I spent 2 hours wandering around in the 18* weather. I found only 2 trucks with the same body style as mine ('64), one was a trashed '64 (nothing save the engine block, 292, was left), and the other was a military vehicle. I don't know what year the military one was, it had an I-6. Besides the frostbite, I didn't get anything. There was a complete 460 I might go back for, as well as a near mint '77 monarch, the exact car that I have, but a better model/package. I'll go to several more and see what I can find... I'm not sure what I'm looking for, i guess just seeing what's available.
Just venting, kind of... good, used, cheap parts are hard to find for my truck!

Crawling thru the wreckers without a care in the world looking to see what you might find. What a great way to spend some spare time!

Really like the kind of junkyards where you can roam at will, looking at everything and getting project ideas. There is one near here where the owner filled it up during the 60's and 70's and never had anything crushed. It covers about 20 acres and most places, the trees and vines are so think around and thru the vehicles there isn't much room to walk. Lots of great trucks that I have taken apart here, 64-72 years mainly, and of course newer. Can't wait until spring, last fall, I found a new area that has been choked off from the rest and in the middle is a unmolested 62 flatbed, very rusty, but all there!
