Bumpside Graveyard

Here's some pix from a recent trip to my buddy's personal salvage yard. I snapped bumpsides only, as there are probably a few thousand vehicles in total. And yes- I probably DO have all the missing parts!

Good evening KnuckleJS,

Now that's quite the personal salvage yard! I wonder how long it took him to build that up?

Of all the photos, I found this one the most striking by far--WOW!!! That has to be one of the most classic Bumpside photos of all time.

Yep- it's one of my favorites too! If you can believe it, I remember back when I was a just a kid and the tree was no where near as big! Thanks!

Nice colletion! Does he sell and ship parts?

He does sell parts, but typically won't ship anything. What were you looking for?

Wow, that's quite the collection. I'd love to crawl around there for a few hours or so.

grill
inner fenders
core support

Where is he located?

Unfortunately I can guarantee you there are no good cores, or inners for the bumps, as I'd already have them.

What's left are pretty well rusted out like typical. He's located in North central Iowa, about 1 1/2 hrs from me.

You've found a Bumpside dream land.
Keep us posted on what all you find there.

WOW! ... pretty cool. Around here all you'll find is a empty rusty carcus of a bump. Even at that the front clips are long long gone.

That's cool you have a buddy you can go to for pick@pull. We have one about 7 miles from here. 20 years ago you could go out and look around like you,but because of insurance reasons you can't any more. I know there are some bumps way out in the back 100 acres,you go in there now and ask for something and they say don't have that.

stuff like that makes my head hurt.

. if i had them they would be all pulled apart, cataloged and ready to go to new homes.
