Hope that everyone had an enjoyable Christmas Holiday.

Did Christmas in Fort Mohave, Arizona. Basically a suburb of Bullhead/Laughlin Nevada. The local U-pullit yard had a very nearly complete rustfree Wagoneer with a Buick 350 engine. Engine complete less the carburetor.
Missing the dash clock and the windshield. Had very decent 3 piece bumpers front and back.

The other find was a Paddy wagon looking Gladiator conversion with a walkthru cab all on 8 lug axles. The stencil on the door indicated that it was a former Indian reservation vehicle. Not sure of the year on this one, but it had both a Jeep Corp metal doorhinge tag and a paper tag on the latch side of the door.

Hope that someone can harvest some goodies from either of these rigs.

Should have scarfed the fan shroud off the buick powered one if it had one. Half the folks here would beat a freeway to your door for it.

That doesn't sound like it is to far from me. If I had good directions to the place I would be happy to go take pics or harvest parts.

Go to Laughlin and follow the river south. Needles is where the next bridge crosses the river. Used to live there in my youth....

Yard is located on Lipam off of Hwy 95. About halfway between Needles and Bullhead City.

I will be returning in about 4 weeks. If I have time I will get pictures of the Reservation rig.
