| haha he doesn't let them go to rot, he buys lots of $200 cars and parts them out. Most aren't saveable anyway
I have never bought anything from him because I think all his prices are outrageous. I wanted the part of the floor pan where the pedal mounts to and he told me he would have to charge me X amount just to go look through his cars to find a good one, then plus like $100 for the part since I would be ruining a full floor pan. I've tried to buy lots of parts but never made a deal with him because I felt his prices were too much. I'm not cheap either, if I see something I want or need I buy it but I have to draw the line somewhere. | |

| haha okay well thats good i guess. I have a buddy down the road from me that owns a junk yard family business... they dont have much, but they have some neat stuff back there. and this guy can tell me anything. i took two automatic trannys down to him to scrap and he barely glanced at them and he told me the year range and brand. Appearently one was a Hyrda-Matic and one was a Turbo 350, one from a Pontiac and one from an Oldsmobile. pretty crazy haha | |

| If it weighed like 500 lbs it was probably a hydramatic, if it weighed like 200 lbs it was a PG haha | |

| After I pulled the hydramatic out of my 59 me and my friend had a hard time carrying it. It's a heavy bastard. I've carried TH350s and powerglides by myself no problem. Well, it was touch hoisting one into the bed of my truck by myself but no way I could have done it with a Hydramatic | |

| Well it could have been some sort of TURBO hydramatic which is what the TH stands for in th350 and th400. I don't know how much theyre based off of the actual hydramatics but the original hydramatics are way cooler | |

| The th350s and the th400s and the 700r4s and the powerglides and ST300s all look pretty much the same. | |
