hey guys,I've been wondering if any body remembers a 55-57 chevy specific junk yard somewhere in the mid west. I remember seeing it in an old super chevy magazine sometime in the late 70s or early 80s, does anybody know its name or if its still around & if not when did it close. Really just want the name. I cant remember it & its making me about half crazy.
I used to read SuperChevy when it first came out and I even went to their first few SuperChevy Shows and I kind of remember that article (can't recall the name, but then again, I am 50 years old so I burned up a few brain cells) It's been 30 + years now so I would be real surprise if that place is still around and if they are, expect high prices.

I remember a couple of decades ago, reading about a yard in Texas with a boat load of 55-57's. It might have been called Chevycraft? Later I read it changed hands, and ran Hemmings ads; alot of conv and h-tops.
there was a guy that got 20, yes 20 2door's out of one in MN... he picked em out of over 130some 5 . 6 and 7's he took only 55's as i recall i have seen many of them in the late 80's MN.SD,IA.NE..on my vacations back there from the SO-Cal home base.
ChevCraft was in Lubbock Texas and I bought a lot of stuff off him back in the late 70's to early 80's...real good guy with some fair prices.......brings back the memories....he was always using the word "cherry piece"....lol.
The one in Super Chevy was Chevy Craft in Lubbock. Goggle says they're still around. Leroy Horn in Springdale AR has crushed out a lot of cars, no longer has nearly what he used to have. Cool thing about him, he lets people browse the yard and then visits with you when you're done.
