Play day.

I didn’t have daycare today so after dropping the daughter off at school me and the boy went to the local salvage yard to find a alternator bracket and ended up coming home with more than I had planned! I got my bracket, pair of 2 speed wiper arms for a 62, both interior trim pieces, and a complete 61 clutch pedal assembly with all the linkage and dust seal holder! He has a section that is just old cars and trucks and it’s my favorite area to go parts hunting in.

I remember yards like that not too long ago. Take my advice, enjoy that while you can! It won't last forever.

That clutch pedal assembly is worth some good money! It's a one year only I believe. I sold one for $225 or so last year.

Wow! Nice score, and with the kid. Doesn't get any better does it.

Yes Bob this is the last yard like this in my area that still has classics in it. I imagine after the current owner passes away the whole yard will probably be crushed and gone. Ray when I was as young as my boy my dad used to take me to yards to pick parts like I did today it was good times! There is still 1 348 in a 58 truck out there. I checked the numbers and it is a 655 block with 58 non water cooled heads on it so someone had to plug the holes in the block. I just don’t know how good the block will be because some of the cylinders have water in them.

That’s a 1961 Chevy set, as Bob says 1 year only, all the parts are unique to the set.
Nate, Is there a large pull back spring on the passenger side of the under dash brace? Most 61 brake and clutch pedals I see are missing this large pull back spring.
Was that yellow 62 hood rusted out?

The Goldwood yellow ‘64 Impala brings back a flood of memories. Looks just like my first car - 300 HP 327 - factory 4 speed - bench seat - tach in dash. Can you tell what came in that one?

Yes Paul the large pullback spring is still in this set. It was completely installed in the car yet when I found it today so I was able to get everything except the clutch fork itself. Fuzz I didn’t look that close at the 64 to see how that one was set up.

Those yards are getting few and far between

It wasn't too many years ago that I could buy nine inch Ford rear ends for$40 apiece in my favorite salvage... Like you said,they are a dying breed

 

[nomad59NZ]

At least you still have some yards like that around. Nothing like that at this end of the woods

Nosey neighbors, and politicians, view them as eyesore's, and want them all gone. I love, going to junk yards.
