This place was about 18 miles north of me when I was growing up, used them a few of times. Never let me down no matter what it was. Rear end for a 1960 GMC truck to a seat belt for 1978 Chevy Malibu. It was cool just to watch them drive off in their doorless vehicles to hunt.
Never got to go inside though some people claimed to. They said it was unbelievable how many cars and trucks were there in the 70's.

Been there numerous times. I first visited back in July 2005. They told me that they don't normally let people go through the yard but I guess he (Jerry) figured I was a nice enough fellow and arranged a ride for me out to the Dodge section. I've been back a bunch of times and just a few weeks back I stopped in. He even tried to find a car for me to drive out there so I didn't have to walk. Really nice guy that Jerry is. As a matter of fact, the yard is for sale as Jerry just lost his only child (50 years old son, married with no children) in a racing accident about a year ago. He's got no one to take over the business. Very sad. What would you like to know? There is a thread with plenty of photos on this site from a visit back in 2006. http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,9812.0.html |

As mentioned, really reputable place! No worries with these folks.
In that link/thread that I posted there was mention of a fenced in section with a bunch of somewhat complete cars that no one has seen up close. I was able to get in there and took a bunch of photos and posted them here but I can't seem to locate the thread.
Good luck!

Im from the Fresno area and have dealt with Jerry and his folks quite a few times. He's wanted to get a stock car track going in SW Fresno for years, which the local govt. keeps shooting down (Fresno politicians are notorious for screwing up great deals for the area) He's always got some pretty cool stuff out there, but havent been there for a few years now...
