Surplus Yards in Ga?

[Dave_McConnell]

I'm curious, does anyone on this list have a historic licensed bridge truck (or a 10 ton for that matter) that they drive around full width and not get hassled? I'm not talking a daily driver but the weekend run or parades.

CSI just moved there from Dallas Ga. They had a big yard there that they were slowly emptying. They've been in Dallas for at least 8 years now. The reason it looks all new and neat is because they just moved in.

Right on the money Ryan. They are already seeing the space crunch at this new site. Must be rough...

We have seen the new yard. Been there and done that. That is where we get parts for our trucks. It is alot closer than SECO in Augusta, GA. That is where we bought our second truck from. They are great people to deal with.

I just called for a used transfer case-$1450!!! Holy cow! Adlemans has rebuilts for $600 and Wiggington has used ones for 250$. Their stuff must be gold plated!

RE: !!

I'm quite sure that they have an export contract. I'd like to go over and talk with the owner and discuss their potential to offer good prices to this industry, as the competition is much better....then gauge their response or willingness to be reasonable. If not, best of luck to them

 

[hndrsonj]

I am guessing they make their money from foreign govt's (collectors could not afford their prices). Don't see any dropping of prices. I saw somewhere they did several million in sales, that's probably not to the little guys.

Jim...you're probs right, but if I don't ask, I can't expect anything. I'll give it a shot and see what I can come up with...if nothing...no harm done

I sent them an email inquiring about a set trailer bows and racks for a 105 and never heard anything back

Same goes for me...........just kinda wonder around check out all the cool stuff....

I also called about a radio mounting brackets and a steering wheel for a 939 series and they haven't got back to me either........??

I know the radio brackets could be hard to find but a steering wheel....dunno...?!?!

CSI is close to the Alabama line 95 is close to the coast. (opposite sides of Georgia)

...but...if you do make it this direction I'll be happy to cruise out there with you. It's basically a 200 mile trip from the other side to my place.

RE: GAMVPA

I've been to Shirleys ( about 30 miles from me )
He's a good ol boy,heck last time I went there he was cutting up a cow in front of the office!
He is very proud of his trucks $$
I've priced/bought several things from him, some of his stuff is way high and some way low I think it all goes by what kind of mood he's in ( DON'T mention Vietnam war!! ), other then that he's a pretty cool guy. His whole yard is a disarray of half started/finished projects. He also has the largest collection of vintage Buick Riviara's in the south!, for what ever thats worth

 

[hndrsonj]

I was at shirleys yesterday. Had a wide variety of stuff. The smaller items seemed the most reasonable. I am going back next week (will take camera) to get some 5KW parts. Seemed like a good guy.

Newbie here, but a couple of my mil and non mil projects need axles. I'm looking at the one's that should have come under my m1009 blazer, 60 front and 14 rear. Does Mr. Shirley have a good supply of these and if so, at what price? Also, something I've never been quite clear on, do the M1008s carry the same gear ratios as the M1028? Thanks in advance for the help.
