1971 Dodge Dart Rancho Cordova, CA. Pick-N-Pull (Not Mine)

Man, ain't that the truth! There was a time when I'd do anything to score good parts on the cheap 'just in case' I ever needed them. Now, I've come to the point where my time is more valuable to me than spending a day under a car in a gravel lot just to score some parts that'll just end up on the shelf potentially never to be seen again. If I need something, I'll gladly pay for the convenience. I definitely understand the enjoyment of the hunt though.

Yup... There was a time I'd jump in my truck & spend days off hitting Pick n Pulls from as far south as Bakersfield, Fresno & Merced my local yard here in Modesto, heading north Stockton, Elk Grove, Citrus Heights, Rocklin & Fairfield... Plus San Jose & Moss Landing... Back then there were times when there were 3-4 A body 8.75's.. Lots of manual trans cars with pedals if not complete manual trans conversions whether 3 or 4 speed... Tons of B & E bodies... Seemed like what ever you wanted it could be found... Then they all just seemed to disappear...
