I went to Turner's in Fresno this morning for a couple of parts. The donor was in an area that I had never snooped around before so I shot a few phone pics while the yard technician removed the parts.
I actually like the idea of a "yard technician" removing parts for me ... don't you guys have a ton of really nasty spiders and snakes (as well as other "creepy crawlies") down there?
Man!! Would I ever like to have that blue Pontiac 2dr sitting in the shop. It would get the L-88 and Doug Nash 5spd in a New York minute. Frank
Dang now they are yard technicians,garbage man is a san***ation engineer,times really are changing. Great looking yard pics.
man thats a cool yard nothing like that around here unless its a secret stash , to much rust and s****pers around here
Every time I drive past Turner's yard I miss my Dad. Went there lots of times with him to buy parts. The place he worked as a mechanic was just up the road (called Van Gas back then). There were some wonderful cars in Turner's yard in the 60's.
Not only a "Yard tech", You get a ride to your parts car. I have been creeping around Turners for decades.
I'm surprised all those '40s Chevy cars are just sitting there. I guess 4-doors make better "bombs" for cruising
yard technician thats funny when I worked at a junk yard we were the white trash losers that couldn't get a real job damn that was fun times. One of the guys couldn't take any thing off a car with out lighting the car on fire.
Don't know but, you could give them a call 559-237-9239. Ask for Jerry, he's the only one that knows Shinola about the old stuff.
yard technician almost sounds as skillful as a "underwater porcelain restoration technician"...thats a fancy name for a dish washer ;p
Do they serve coffee and donuts while you wait ? LOL We gotta pull our own parts round my neck of the woods !!!
amen brother before i read your post i was thinking man the one or two total junkcars in this yard look better then some ive owned as drivers i mean who walks into ajunkyard and looks at a early 50s anything that isnt nothing but rust from mid-body down sheesh
Interesting stuff. Yard tech hopefully = the l75.00 part you dearly need isn't broken all to hell because some clown decided that he needed a .50 part off it.
HaHAHAHA!!! Nasty snakes and spiders?? Over there?? We are lucky over here out of the 10 most deadly snakes and spiders we have a majority here in Oz. I always hated the bird eating spider, sleeping on the ground in the Army and those ****ers walk over you, two hands across in size! Doc.
Everthing is for sale there.....if it is a complete car or truck that is the way Jerry wants to sell it. The yard is coming to an end with some crushing so don't wait.
