god somebody just bring one of them short beds to me, I'll keep her and fix her up good and right. I'd love to have one just can't afford one around here. I'd take a long bed and then turn it into a short bed if it was free and saving one from the scrap heap.

Re: sad things you see in the junk yard
 

Here is my sad pic. It's an 85. Only 500 made that year. I tried to buy the cab and bed for 3 weeks, with no luck. It was like my money wasn't worth the little bit of help I needed from them? Anyway......the truck was crushed and is gone forever! Oh, I picked up another 85 about a year later in much better shape. Look for a build thread on it soon :) http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...603091231a.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...0603091230.jpg

Re: sad things you see in the junk yard
 

they look good on later model trucks as well, I put a set on a '95 , look'd really good on it.
the van rally's look good on trailors as well.

Re: sad things you see in the junk yard

Re: sad things you see in the junk yard
 

That's why he said 67-70. ;)

Re: sad things you see in the junk yard
 

Actually, I got real lucky with the rally's I came up on... The junk-yard here sold me 4 rims with the caps for $100.

'course they looked like they were dipped in silt, and dirt for 50 years. Don't have any pics.....

but what wonders a lil elbow grease,.. polish and spray-can paint will do..;)

It had 10" deep 'vette rally's on it when i got the truck from my dad.. but needed tires,.. and couldn't afford the new tires for those rims...

BTW.. yes they do look good on newer trucks as well.... Square Style never dies!!!

Re: sad things you see in the junk yard
 

Haha my bad. So what rims would of came on it? 72c10 307/th350

Re: sad things you see in the junk yard
 

70 blazer why would u do such a thing!!!

Re: sad things you see in the junk yard
 

That pile of square bodies is soooo wrong on soooo many different levels...

Re: sad things you see in the junk yard
 

WOW... didn't realize there was much popularity for American cars over there..

looks like they like the conversion vans too...

Re: sad things you see in the junk yard
 

man I'd like to have that 70-73 camaro and the 71-72 chevelle its atop of.

Re: sad things you see in the junk yard
 

Woah Do they have any 78-83 Malibu wagons or 78-88 el caminos in that european yard? I would kill for some euro tail lenses for my wagon.

Like this?

Re: sad things you see in the junk yard
 

that camaro on that chevelle made me almost cry having a 70 chevelle my self its getting harder to get original parts for those and that camaro is a pretty one

Re: sad things you see in the junk yard
 

they are really popular and expensive here

Conversion vans are the most common vans here like Starcraft or Transcar 2000 but half of the owners dont know what they have.


those are highly popular here along with the 80s Caprices and Impalers
but people dont run euro tail lights or Lexus Lights as they are know here.

Re: sad things you see in the junk yard
 

this is sad

Re: sad things you see in the junk yard
 

Damn I was hoping. Parts for the wagon are hard enough to find here! Of course all the old iron around here has been crushed long ago.

Re: sad things you see in the junk yard
 

seing all those american muscle cars and vans over there...They must not like SAAB'S over there either...I hate those cars...LOL SAAB'S that is..

Took me a week to pull a manual trans out of one because they decided to make it part of the oil pan and the motor is in backwards...clutch needs a special tool down behind the radiator to get it apart...Never ,ever again will i work on a SAAB

SAAB = :banghead::hc:

Re: sad things you see in the junk yard
 

what about the car..its a malibu or a grand am around 78-80 to the left behind the white corvette..you will see it..2 door..has amber taillight's in it...How much will those be shipped to Tennessee 37745 zip code.
In US funds that is..Thanks

Re: sad things you see in the junk yard

Re: sad things you see in the junk yard
