I drove out to Courtland this afternoon only to find the junkyard closed at 1 PM. I did look at both the trucks and they are both in really great shape. I'm not willing to take trucks in that great shape apart just for parts. I could see where the 1953 was being restored before its owner died.
I have been told by several local junkyard owners, they have crushed the older trucks because the price of steel has risen in recent years...
