ima fuc'in moron. I pasted the wrong shortcut.

This is right if the address is correct and Google Maps is correct (I've never been there but I will next week if I get my truck this weekend):

There's a sandblast shop northeast of there on Live Oak Ave. named J & J Abrasives; couple of old guys who sandblast automotive parts as well as industrial assemblies. Their prices are average ($450 to blast a 1941 truck cab inside and out) and they have done a good job every time. One of the guys is a WWII vet I think (at least Korean War).

That's the place. It even looks amazing from the air, doesn't it? I don't think you can just show up and walk in, though. As I recall, somebody had to make special arrangements with the owner for our group trip, and the yard normally isn't open to the public.

You are correct. The brothers are getting away from group shopping events. They also are less open to folks coming by even with an appointment.

Wonders: I have recently been searching for another driveline for my M1008 and haven't had much luck, as yet. But this place and thread came up in my search and the question begs to be asked: with all this stuff in their yard why on earth are the brothers--- seemingly--- not interested in selling much of it?

Haven't tried calling their number yet, just thought I'd get some input here... like are these guys open to small time buyers, or?
