Projects The Most Vintage Tin I've Ever Seen!! - Salvage Yard Tour - Tons of Pics!

yeah, don't let us find out where it's at, we'll bring out semi trucks and all our loads of cash and come buy up you secret stash!

 

PLEASE read further down in this thread. The name/location was posted LONG ago.

 

pretty sweet. Crazy that I have actually been to this junkyard and didn't even realize it until halfway throught the thread. When I was stationed at Ft. Riley!

 

Farmer is a Kansas Boy- he knows right where that place is.....

 

Who stole all the paint off of them cars???? Nice trip back in time.....

 

Oh... Thanks, Jay.
I started to regret bringing this thread back up, especially with the bit of drama it had last year.

 

Dmn I need that Hudson front end bad.

 

If I lived closer to this, I'd have to use my secret junkyard owner magic charms... I've bought crazy stuff for almost nothing once you're 'in'... Usually takes one big purchase up front, and food... Oh, and go there when you don't need stuff just to say hi... You'd be surprised at how effective that is. Old School Southern Hospitality.

 

I read through this whole thread...
And to those that had problems looking at it on one of the map links,here you go...
you can zoom in a little and drool some more!

Thats gotta be what heaven looks like!

 

Too Cool....

 

I love going to that yard every time were in the area! That place is awesome!!!

 

On the first page, I saw a Graham Sharknose front fender, for the drivers side. Spectacular... I'm guessing it's for '39. Somewhere, somebody needs one of those!

 

I know that now... sorry.

 

wow, amazing. Alot of good usable tin in there. Was that a '28-'29 roadster I spoted in there!?

 

Was there in 2007 ..... A few of my pictures, including "Jack"

 

thats super cool to see all those pics. i would be in heaven if i could go there

 

Yeah, If you can't find your dream project in this yard theres something wrong. I'm going to take a stab at the yards name, because i was in Omaha for a year and a half, and there was one in the middle of the corn fields right by the Missouri river, by the name of "Bucks". Very simular to your pics.

 

When I die and go to heaven, this is what I think it will be..................

 

Damit, i have a problem not reading all the posts before i reply, sorry. But just to let you know, there is a place just on the outskirts of Omaha, (or was, 25 years ago), very simular to these pictures. You turned off of Dodge street and took the road that parelled the river on the Nebraska side, think it was called "river road", and you drove North till you got to a huge corn field and whatever dirt road it wasyou turned on it, and right in the middle of the fields there was a huge tree bank around the whole place, (many acers), and there you were, "Buck's wrecking yard", scroulded on a cady hood at the entrance of the yard. Now his stuff was more than reasonable. I bought the whole front end components off of a 53' Chevy, (backing plate to jam nut) both sides for $50.00, to do the conversion to 5 lug on my 54' p/u.
