This past Monday, I drove back over to visit. I had noticed some '61 pickups and some '59-'60 Impalas, so I was hoping to score a few parts.
There were a couple of vehicles being repaired when I arrived, so business was booming! I walked around the yard looking for parts, and took some close-up photos of several of the vehicles. Many components have already been harvested, and the vehicles have been sitting there a long time. All of the Impalas I looked at already had their dashes removed, and the '61 pickups were of a lower trim level than mine...no parts for me that day!
With an eye toward stovebolts, I looked over many trucks. Some still had the engines in them, a few still had the carbs and manifolds...everything looked pretty toasted. What is beneficial here, are the sheet-metal body parts, and lots of trim pieces. Most of the trucks still had the seat frames. Some pieces of glass were good, but most had been broken or shot out by hooligans.
If someone was struggling to find some unobtainable parts, this might be a potential source.
