    I posted an album of pics from my first visit to this yard and was requested to take more. Well I just went today. Picked up power brake booster, master cylinder, prop valve, brake pedal assembly, power brake shock tower support, 2 headlight trim rings to paint to match the black grille I picked up last Sat. Found out the owner has several Mavericks of his own which is why there are so many there. The album can be found on my PicasaWeb account here. http://picasaweb.google.com/David.Blodgett. Pictures should be a little better quality as I fixed the settings on my camera. (they are large and may load a little slow on slower internet connections.)

    P.S. I hate bees!!!

    Sorry, I forgot to mention this... at the end of the last thread someone asked about the location. Here is the information. It's about 30 minutes from Harrisburg off route 81. They don't really inventory what's on the lot. The car I got my brake parts from is really the only fresh one there. Still has the disc brake spindle assemblies, but the discs are 3 inches into the dirt and they don't allow jacks. Haven't asked about that situation yet. (EDIT: mostly because I spent several hours trying to get the stupid brake pedal out of the car... and the bees. I HAVE to remember bee killer next time.)

    I was in the bustling metropolis of Pine Grove just a few weeks ago. Didn't know there was anything else there but an Arbys and a McDonalds. :D

    I can remember members talking about that junkyard before.

    Is it the one you can see right next to the turnpike?

    Here is a satellite view of the place. Sorry about the messy link. Don't know the date of the images, but you can zoom in close enough to see the individual cars. Mavericks are in the upper right corner, probably about a third of that row.

    This is about 5 miles from the Pine Grove Exit (100) of Route 81, north east of Harrisburg.

    Is that Harry's U-Pull it in Hazelton? I was there a LONG time ago when me and a friend pulled a rear end out of a 66 Mustang. I remember seeing a Nice Maverick Grabber in one of the walls with Mint Bucket seats ... but I was too scared to go in and try to get them out ...

    That place had a snack bar right on the premises for when you needed to take a break.

    Not Harrys-U-Pull-It.

    Harrys is about 15 miles south of where I live and the yard he is talking about is about 70 miles south of me just off of Interstate Route 81 - Pine Grove exit.
