My buddy does towing for a company on the weekends and here lately ive been hanging out up there working on my Blazer. They have a full work shop, etc. Well, Im like a kid in the candy store when it comes to junkyards, etc. I luv to explore. Well, I found something that really intrigued me the other day and just got back up there to snap some pics. Ill let the pics tell the story. lol.

Basically someone has already went thru the trouble of putting a 14ff on this thing. Simply unbolt and bolt up to my truck, lol. Its actually going in my buddys Truck once he gets it on the road, when and if. lol

LoL..naw you dont want that one, its homemade and got more rust than metal. I think tree sap is what is holding it together. lol.

Yeah this yard is full of surprises, Its not uncommon to see a sailboat parked on top of a semi trailer in this yard. There is a 454 out there that id luv to get a hold of. lol. oh well.

Off topic, But this yard is where I picked this bike up. '83 Honda Shadow VT500, 8500miles. It wasnt running when I got it. Put in new battery and it fired up. I cleaned the carbs, changed oil/filter, air filter, shaft drive fluid and flushed front brake master cylinder. I ride it all the time now. I picked it up with a clean title for $400bux.

Well, it is going to be fun getting that axle out from under there. Something about a wrecker and some heavy duty winches, lol. I may have to video that ordeal.
 
It's funny I've got a junk yard 1/4 mile from the house, most people would say it would bring the value of the property down, but to me it just brings it up!!!:D
