Guys,
I found out yesterday that a salvage yard that has tons upon tons of classic large truck parts is up for sale. I wanted to pass the word along to the Stovebolt community so that you guys can email me any parts that you've not been able to find. The vast majority of the parts are for really large trucks. The owner has tons upon tons of old school buses (Chevy and GMC), large transmissions, 1960s 1 1/2 - 2 ton trucks, etc.) He has 292s for days. In fact yesterday I spotted a couple of 292s in an old trailer he didn't even realize he had. I even remember seeing a 261 in a '61 or '62 2 ton dump truck. So email me your "wish list" of parts and I'll see if he has them.
The owners (a husband and wife team) are in their 70s for sure. But I'm not sure if he's retiring or being "forced" out by "progressive development". His salvage yard really stands out (if you know what I mean) in a very rapidly growing suburb of Atlanta. Just a few years ago that area was considered very rural. It's a shame to see it go. The husband said a lot of this stuff will just be crushed soon so get your lists together soon.
If you want the fastest response just them them a call. My truck is an hour away from me with no engine and no transmission so it'll be a few weeks before I can haul anything. The name of the business is Alsobrook's Garage in Hiram Georgia and the number is 770-943-3490. Owner's name is George.
