You know I never thought of grabbing the doors for that reason, oh well it is to late now. I stopped by last night to verify and he has crushed everything. %)

Worst of was the 69 Mach I R code. I have the buck plate and went back the next day to at least get the vin if not the hulk and it was gone and no one has a clue where. All the cars around it were still there but it was gone, supposedly crushed.

He's high 50's, land is worth more than the cars, and they were pretty well picked and rusted. I saved 2 tubs, notice the yellow doors laying beside the swamp rat and empty hole?, and pulled one to where they weren't crushing. He plans on getting the land cleared back up in the next few yrs and then retiring. He had stuff from the 40's :eek:

Here is another one. I saved(sorta) it just over a week ago. I stripped it for parts and scrapped the body. The truck was really rust and beat up from a roll over

I went over there with a friend who was looking for a 6" trim piece for a 70's F150...... he was told $30 if he found one in the yard....... I thought it was a little much. I took 1 pic showing a pile of Bronco Belt-line trim laying in a Bronc-, almost like someone pulled it, only to get sticker shocked at the counter.

I'm looking for some fenders...front and rear...maybe a tub...for my trail rig. It dosn't have to be mint, just less hamered than I presently have. It's no fun explaining dents from the PO. There was a possible tub or two, just nervouse about asking a price for it..... I was also thinking of picking up that Bulkhead to mount all my fuel injection pumps/filters/shutoffs/etc.... to.

Heading Back on Thursday with $200 in my pocket(my limited trail Bronc- funds)I'll let ya know how it turns out.

That rack looks like the aftermarket ones that Duffys sold years ago. It was riverted in place and they claimed it would stop the bronco Roof popping.
