Junkyard HEAVEN on Earth!



Above is a picture of Heaven. The Rusty Gates. Here Men can go to die happily, or to search for parts for their vehicles. Of course I'm referring to the original Harry's U-Pull-It, The originator of the "self-service" parts yard. I have spent two Saturday's here in as many months, painstakingly cajoling parts from various 87-91 Ford F-Series trucks to continue the repairs I've started on my 1991 F250, affectionately referred to as War Horse. More to follow.
