Lots of trucks out there...



















This was at the other salvage yard:





I walked away with this:

Wow...I don't think I've ever seen so many old Dodge trucks, especially 4x4's, in a wrecking yard of course I'm in California where they immediately get rid of anything old..... Anyways whats the deal with that early CC PW. That would already be in my shop if I lived closer. Seems like that truck looks familiar with the red bed on the back of it?? Is that orange rig with no bed a PW too? That is my dream wrecking yard

Damn! Where is that at?

I wished I was there. I could use some of those cab clearance lights.

The whole crew cab truck with an extra cab and extra bed was for sale on CL a while back for $2000. They moved it so maybe it is being parted now. Nothing has been taken off of it.

Orange truck is a Power Wagon. There are a few more Sweptline Power Wagons there.

Haha where at in Iowa? If you want to give up your spot!

It's in Pella, Iowa.

Even with all those trucks I still couldn't find a decent bed endcap.

Might have to look into that. Thanks

That junkyard, a wagon with tools and a cooler full of beer, and all the time needed... Thats all I want...
Thanks for the pictures.

So are they all fairly rough or could some be made drivers?

That's an awesome yard! Very cool.

Soop, is that 2nd gen., '91/'93 red and white bed in good shape? The driver's side looks great. I'm in need of one for my '92. Thanks Doug

The things i would do in that yard....that teal 68ish...mmm....itd never be the same.

That "E Bateman" truck looks like Sylvester McMonkey McBean's star on/star off machine!!!! (Dr. Seuss, "Sneetches".)

Nice pics! Thanks for sharing.

My brother wants to know what they have for 80s GM stuff there. We are thinking of planning a week long nothing-but-salvage-yard vacation and might start there. He has an 87 Buick Grand National and is always looking for parts that interchange.

I don't really know but I think it was. The whole truck didn't look bad but I had plenty of Sweptlines to divert my attention.

Many of them are pretty rough. I'm sure with enough work some of them could be made into drivers. It was never my plan so I didn't really go over anything with a finetooth comb, except for a Scout 800A.

That just sounds wrong.

The place is at least 75% trucks. I doubt there is a single Regal/GN in the whole place. It would depend on what he is looking for. The owner could have a bunch of parts stashed somewhere that I don't know about.

And everyone says the Pacific Northwest is the land flowing with milk and sweptlines... Wow, I'd love to spend a day wandering around those parts! Thanks for sharing pictures, they are easier on my wallet.

alot of them had inflated tires!!! thats crazy too!!!

In that first picture, the first thing I noticed on that truck was the mirror stalk. Then I noticed that the hood is a pre-68, but the grill is a 68 or 69.
