I've bought quite a few little parts from Speedway. They're in Erie, just
North of Denver. They're behind (to the east of) the big auto wrecker which
you see off of I25.
It's a pull your own parts kind of place, they ask for ID when you enter and
a list of what you're looking for. It can be a real mud bog at times- so
wear some grungy old boots and think about bringing a clean pair of shoes to
wear home (put the muddy boots in a box). Lots of old cars to poke around-
they specialize in older (pre-'80) stuff.
Haven't been back recently, there's a place in Longmont with an even better
selection of (Task Force) parts called D&J Cameos that I've been shopping
lately.

Subject: [oletrucks] Denverites: Speedway Auto
Wrecking?
A fellow I work with just mentioned Speedway Auto Wrecking,
somewhere near
Denver, as a place he goes to get parts for his '52 Chevy.
Has anyone had
any experience with this place? He says it has quite a few
'52's, but he
wasn't sure how many '54's were there.
As a sidenote, I must say it looks really cool having my '54
and his '52
parked nose-to-nose in the parking lot of the Laboratory for
Atmospheric
and Space Physics. Just goes to show that not all aerospace
engineers
have their heads permanently in the clouds.
