Went to a Junkyard - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I got the chance to wander around a country junkyard this weekend. Here are the highlights of the big trucks.

Trekster · 11-18-2014, 10:12 PM

Cool pix, thanks.

C10 - C90 Bill · 11-18-2014, 10:29 PM

Looks like an interesting place. I sure do miss Junkyards like that. They're sure not as many around as there used to be.

Bill

xRAY76 · 11-18-2014, 10:34 PM

could use some parts off that 60...

i love walking around junkyards, imagining what happened to some of the vehicles.

greg64 · 11-18-2014, 11:22 PM

Great pictures, thanks.

Lokin4AReason · 11-19-2014, 02:37 PM

neat photo(s) ....

what else did they have at the yard .... ????

**buggy5872** · 11-19-2014, 04:51 PM

Where is it and what is the name of it....I see you are in ohio....im on the border of pa and ohio. Looks like some stuff I could use in those pics.....

thefraze_1020 · 11-19-2014, 05:50 PM

I could spend my whole day in a place like that.

alsriv2 · 11-19-2014, 07:25 PM

I love visiting places like that. Found a couple up in Northern Maine when I was stationed up at Loring AFB (back when it used to exist) and also found some in Merced CA years ago. Haven't been back to either location.

vanaman · 11-19-2014, 07:28 PM

I have no clue the name of the junkyard. its about 20min south of columbus.

ive been there 3-4 times and love going there to wander around. never bought anything yet. but the guys there dont seem to liek selling anything either

jumpsoffrock · 11-19-2014, 08:03 PM

If you ever go again, could you snap more photos of this truck, any more info on it would be great as well. Thanks for the pics, very cool indeed.

colgad · 11-19-2014, 08:21 PM

Please post name of the yard, I need the fenders off the Red C50.
Ill drive from Florida to get those fenders

vanaman · 11-19-2014, 08:30 PM

here are the rest of the pics i took at the yard.

C10 - C90 Bill · 11-19-2014, 09:04 PM

I almost asked you about the cars!

Interesting collection.

That yard sure has been collecting cars for a long, long time.

I could use the '67 Impala (next to the blue '71) and that '57 4-Dr HT.

Very cool. I recently went to a well organized (by makes and years) yard in Vancouver Washington. While walking the hour and half to complete the tour I wondered how hard it would be to decide which relic to resurrect. Trying to focus on trucks was not easy, the cars were so cool and have so much potential. I don't have pics or a name but the place amazing!

How about the address?

Lokin4AReason · 11-21-2014, 09:28 AM

some nice assortment of vintage tin in that yard ....

some can be saved but most is just scrap and used as part(s) cars ( if they were not robbed of their parts yet )

and i love seeing photo(s) like these, its like they froze in time in not moving in years

63 & 64 Bowties · 11-21-2014, 10:16 AM

There's a place about 20 miles from me that looks like that. Except the owner's a third generation Mopar fan, so 90% of what he's got is Mopar. But, it takes you all day to see everything he has. From the early 30's and up. I'm guessing C10 - C90 Bill know's who I'm talking about.

I could be wrong, that happened once before, but that looks to be a late 60's dodge D500 or D600. There is one at the local yard here I have been eyeballing for a while. Used to be a firetruck but the box is long gone so it is just a chassis cab now. One day funds might allow me to purchase and make it the ultimate towing/sand dune rig with a huge flatbed and a cummins.........

No. Newton's in Cloverdale

C10 - C90 Bill · 11-21-2014, 10:05 PM

OK, I've been there once or twice, but it's been a good while now.

Have you ever been to Whitlow's on the mountain?

63 & 64 Bowties · 11-22-2014, 08:47 AM

Never been there. They got old stuff there?
Google earth looks like there's lots of stuff there.

Vintage Windmills · 11-22-2014, 10:07 AM

Def not my favorite vehicle there but what is this car? It looks like a Mazda or datsun but i haven't seen one like it before.
