I took these photo's this week near Three Springs, PA, at a private junk yard. This is a 30 yr collection the guy started at age 15 on his parents farm. If anyone needs Chevy truck parts, this guy was heavy into trucks mostly from 67-72 and several 67-70 Caprices and Impalas, and a few 65-66 Impalas, some SS.

More photo's and some pics of his tire and wheel collection. The last couple pics shows a place I passed on the way there and shows how some people still live in the area.

Sam, It is very easy to navigate, and besides, there are no snakes out right now, it was 60 degrees on Monday. It is located about 15 minutes off the PA Turnpike at Rt. 522 Ft. Littleton exit. It is probably 1 hr west of Carlisle. The owner personally took me around the yard on Monday afternoon, after what I told him I was looking for. I was there probably 3 hrs. Now is the best time, he is off work right now because he smashed his hand loading a truck bed by hand instead of getting the tractor. Give me a call for more info.
P.S. Your going to get that red truck of yours dirty going up that lane.

Love those Pro Trac 50's, the '70 Chevelle wagon, and all those 65/66 Impalas.

We should talk the history channel into lettin you and bbbenny do a junk yard pickin show. Get Darren to run the parts place and keep you two straight. That could be a classic.

That Caddy?
That's actually a '69; we had a '70 that my dad rebuilt from a total in the late '70s and the rear taillights are a little different (the 69 had wraparound lenses, the 70 had a reflector on the side).
