Fun day at the U-Pull,

While pulling parts for some $2009 stuff I'm working on, I snapped a couple of pictures. This junk yard is my new favorite, pretty close to me and they have a wide variety of cars. The GRM sticker on this ride caught my eye like a diamond in the sun!

A few new trucks rolled in since my last visit. Boy I wish I had a bigger shop! I absolutely love these old GM cabovers, and check out the Kaiser!

I used to get peeved at the $1-2 admission charge for U-Pull yards, but when there are old cars this cool to check out I'm ok with it.

I don't have anything useful to add, just had a good day at the yard and wanted to share.

The extended cab on that white Chevy would be worth a fortune to the street rod guys.

It must be nice to live in a rust-free place...

Which yard is this Bryce? I must go there...

I wish the yards around here were that good. Most of what we get around here is pretty weak, and if something interesting shows up, it's picked to the bone before I hear about it.

That Datsun seems like it might be an easy one to save from the crusher.

Any one in the jersey area might want to check out the bone yard on route 1, just south of trenton. Not going to get a chance to go but there looks to be a lot of classic iron at this one, though rusty there might be a jem, I'll try to snap a pic from the road today.

Yeah, a lot of them would be easy to save in the sense of them not being destroyed. Unfortunately, once they go up on jack stands it's damn near impossible to get a title for junkyard cars. Someday I might try, but right now I've got way too many cars to take care of to consider saving one from the yard. That cab-over got me to thinking, though...

You have no idea! I lived in Michigan for a few years, I don't think I've got it in me to live in a salt state again. Consider that these are the cars in the junkyard, so just imagine what you see cruising on the roads out here. This weekend I spent a lot of time cruising cool roads around the California coast, talk about a smorgasbord of awesome cars...and I'm not talking trailer queens, I'm talking about cars actually being used out in the twisties!!!

I grew up in Ohio, and recently moved to Michigan. Both rust states. Guess which pic is from our farm in Ohio, and which pic I took while travelling through Oregon?
