Let's make an internet junkyard here guys... post up your pictures!

This is a yard a couple hours north of me I went to this saturday. The guy who owns it is named Bob Adler, for you guys in the northeast it's in Stephentown NY. 1/2 Hour east of Albany NY, right near the MA border. His number is (518) 733-5749.

arlee, montana.

72BlckButy · 07-27-2009, 09:46 PM

Wow... definitely some nice yards.

**aerotruk63** · 07-27-2009, 10:07 PM

Could you add Location and Contact info in case someone see's something of interest. Please. ( I said "Please" ).

Young Gun · 07-27-2009, 10:26 PM

wow i wish ONE of my junkyards had a 60-66 chevy

**Corts60** · 07-27-2009, 11:56 PM

Oh it's a sad sight....

jonzcustomshop · 07-28-2009, 12:20 AM

The one in arlee does only walk in business...

blaserman · 07-28-2009, 12:22 AM

Those pictures are not a sad sight to me. Here all the junk yards crush the vehicles within three weeks. I have problems trying to find parts all the time. Just wish the one in NY was closer I would be broke all the time.

jonathan-m · 07-28-2009, 08:28 AM

Wow if I came across a yard like that I'm pretty sure I'd never come out. I have yet to see anything of interest in junkyards here in FL

4dranch · 07-28-2009, 09:03 AM

very cool idea...

Cheif anyway to make this a sticky?

jchav62 · 07-28-2009, 09:08 AM

Here some from my files...

jbgroby · 07-28-2009, 10:05 AM

These pictures are from the local Pull-a-Part yard on the west bank of the Missisippi River by New Orleans. Cleanest Yards I've ever seen.

After the pictures loads, click next to see the rest.

If any gets ahold of the ny yard ask how much he wants for one of the c-60 grills. I've tried several times and keep getting a busy signal. thanks

**aerotruk63** · 07-28-2009, 09:21 PM

Perhaps Email him. That's how we've been conversing.

sweet thanks for the email address.

RED69K5 · 07-29-2009, 03:00 PM

Wow, there are a lot of good 62-66 hoods in those yards.
Where are the yards like those in North Texas? I havn't seen one like that around here in at least 15 years. Anyone know? It seems like all the classic junk yards around here got replaced with subdivisions and new car lots.

Keep the pics coming, I love good yard art.

justcuz · 07-29-2009, 03:31 PM

Bob Adler is a pretty well known Chevy truck repairer/restorer. He also writes a column for Vintage Truck magazine. He has tons of knowlege about these old trucks.

**aerotruk63** · 07-29-2009, 06:21 PM

There's a yard just north of Dallas right off I-35 service road. You cross over a bridge when heading south and he's on the west side you can't miss the yard. Picked up a few things there!

61TWUK · 07-30-2009, 12:10 PM

Yea I'm in Southwest Oklahoma because of the military and there are no really good junk yards around here either it seems like all of the really old stuff is getting crushed to make room for newer crapier cars....

**aerotruk63** · 07-30-2009, 07:38 PM

Desert Valley Auto Parts. http://www.dvap.com/

They provide you with a map of the yard when you get there. Don't bother with the Email parts request, call them.
