Vermont Salvage Yard

Post by magnumcid »

I went to a salvage yard in Vermont that keeps some old stuff most yards would crush;

The first thing I noticed was this little gem;

The (short/narrow) bed is in perfect shape;

This was toast. Didn't even bother taking a picture of the back, it was smashed and rotten into the ground.

This seemed to have some straight panels left (doors/fenders)...

The short/wide sides were in surprisingly good shape too but the middle of the bed was literally gone.

I thought this was exceedingly cool (196? Ford 250);

All of the Dodges were slant sixes. Waiting to hear back on if they'll sell the entire Ute. I didn't check the floor/frame because it was in an awkward spot but the rest of the body was in amazing shape for something that old in a northeastern scrap yard.

Cool finds! The white one looks like it used to have Power Wagon emblems on the hood.

It is a Power Wagon. It's just sunk into the ground over it's axles.

I was under the impression only factory rear bumpers were worth anything, and none of them had one. There was at least one reasonably straight front bumper if I recall.

That Ford looks like they got it stuck and decided not to pull it out. :lol: I kick myself for letting my short Ute bed slip out of my hands. Still have the perfect fenders at least.
