Heading to Kansas City Sunday to pick up a body shell then heading back up north towards Yankton SD.Monday.Anyone want to give me a junkyard or 3 to stop in at along the way? Gotta see some new stuff.
Many of the old yards I used to frequent have gone away. Eastern Nebraska Auto Recyclers, near Elmwood, is still active and typically has some '50s and '60s stuff. They don't have a web site - phone is (402) 994-4555.
Not sure if it's still full of cars, but there used to be a 'time capsule' Chev dealer right on the main street in Pierce. Had been closed up for a long time, but the eccentric old man who owned it just left all the cars in there. When I was there about 4 years ago, there was still a 'new' 64 Impala in the front window! Also had many cars that never sold that he just parked in a field.
You might try Watts Salvage, south of Wymore Nebr. He's got lots of okd stuff, 30's thru 80's. He used to be reasonable but now he's kinda moody and sometimes hard to deal with, but he's got the stuff.
