Figure that one out. While I had to bring ‘The Junkyard Dog’ back home with me, I count the event a success. I got to catch up with some friends and acquaintances I hadn’t seen in a while. I handed out a slug of business cards, and I came home with some parts I wasn’t planning to buy. Imagine finding a virtually rust-free pair of fenders for a ’55-’57 GM 2 ton truck, or a NOS grille for a ’78 Monarch. Not a bad day.
The neat thing is: everyday I answer the phone is like a swap meet where I have a ten acre table and 300 vehicles to sell. What you see here on the website doesn’t even scratch the surface. That is why I need you to call if you don’t see it here. 403-341-3708 Don’t text unless you qualify for handicapped plates.
*Just in case you were curious about where the fenders are going. My ’57 GMC 2 ton carrier chassis. 454, TH400, 11k GVW rear diff. 4 wheel disc brakes. COOL?

LETTING GO: Over the years I have turned down a number of offers for my ’62 Bel Air- sometimes less than politely. Lately, I have had a change of heart- the old girl needs a new caretaker. Notice I didn’t use the word ‘owner’? There is no doubt in my mind the Bel Air will… Read more »
AFTER having missed the entire Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale event, I have to admit that the whole thing pisses me off. We used to be able to watch hours of coverage on television. Seems that no network was willing to pony up the cash to cover the show- BUT, we can live-stream it on our computers or… Read more »
