MAJOR Scores from 2 days at the wrecking yards Glide out spare tire carriers and GMC
 

As many of you know I sell 73-87 Chevy/GMC parts for a living and spend much of my time at the wrecking yards. I find good things here and there but nothing like I found in the last 2 that's right 2 days! I must be living right. Here are a couple pictures. There is more stuff too. This is just the best.

nice score.....I love a good treasure hunt....wish I had more time to do it....Ive gotten some good deals lately....and I always tip the worker at the counter

Re: MAJOR Scores from 2 days at the wrecking yards Glide out spare tire carriers and
 

How much i have to ask...... I want one of those glide outs?????? PLEEEEEEEEEEEEASE.....:lol:

Re: MAJOR Scores from 2 days at the wrecking yards Glide out spare tire carriers and
 

I come across all that stuff at my (2) local pic-a-part yards and pass.
The fender emblems I see all the time. Lots of GMC stuff lately:gmc2:
3500, 2500 C30 crap is everywhere.
Those things are worth something?
Who would have thought/.

Re: MAJOR Scores from 2 days at the wrecking yards Glide out spare tire carriers and
 

I need that "Sierra" dash emblem for my K25 and a spare tire mount for my C10 shortbed.

Re: MAJOR Scores from 2 days at the wrecking yards Glide out spare tire carriers and
 

That's cool!
I pull all the emblems I find too. The counter guy always asks me how much I get for them on ebay. Still can't convince him I just hang them up around the garage.

Coolest ones I've got are the grill GMC & fender badges from a 5500 early 60's dump truck.

It is never a good idea to let the yard guys know you are selling stuff. The prices will go up. I have experienced it.

OK, I must admit I don't do a ton of work on my squarebody, but how does the swing out spare carrier work, and what years did it come on?

Re: MAJOR Scores from 2 days at the wrecking yards Glide out spare tire carriers and
 

I never could get one of those glide outs to work very well.

Re: MAJOR Scores from 2 days at the wrecking yards Glide out spare tire carriers and
 

i hv one on my truck now so i will like to know how to use it also ?

Re: MAJOR Scores from 2 days at the wrecking yards Glide out spare tire carriers and
 

I have been very happy with the parts I have found lately. The good thing in Phoenix is that once the temperature hits 100 degrees the competition for parts goes WAY down! There are very few of us committed enough(STUPID and maybe should be committed) to spend time in the wrecking yards in the summer where temps reach 130 degrees and up with radiant heat from all of the cars.

Re: MAJOR Scores from 2 days at the wrecking yards Glide out spare tire carriers and
 

There is a pull lever(handle) on the right side. You pull down on it to release the tension on the carrier. Once the tension is released the carrier and tire are unhooked on the right side and the spare will slide out from under the truck on the carrier. I hope this information helps you.

Re: MAJOR Scores from 2 days at the wrecking yards Glide out spare tire carriers and
 

I am not sure on the first year these came out but the first one I found was on a 1978 GMC and I have found them on trucks up to 1989. I posted the details on how they work as well.

Re: MAJOR Scores from 2 days at the wrecking yards Glide out spare tire carriers and
 

If you are interested in purchasing the Sierra Dash emblem send me a PM and we can work out the details.

Re: MAJOR Scores from 2 days at the wrecking yards Glide out spare tire carriers and
 

Is there actually U pull it yards in Southern Nevada? Are you in the Vegas area or somewhere else?

Re: MAJOR Scores from 2 days at the wrecking yards Glide out spare tire carriers and
 

Southern Nevada Pic-A-Part
2 locations.
One in Henderson and a much larger location in North Las Vegas. Out by LVMS
Both are 100% paved and usually have at least one english speaking staff member on duty.

Another bad thing about living in Massachusetts is you can't find old squares in a bone yard. At least none I am aware of. You guys out "west" are lucky.

Not so lucky when its 112+ outside (todays current temp.)
Parts & tools get a little toasty :devil:

Re: MAJOR Scores from 2 days at the wrecking yards Glide out spare tire carriers and

Yep. Me, too.

I used to get the "good guy" price at one PnP until the Owner caught wind of what I was doing.

Re: MAJOR Scores from 2 days at the wrecking yards Glide out spare tire carriers and
 

Mine has the threaded post that you unscrew and the spare rack drops down. It's real fun trying to do that since the threads are always covered in road crap.

Re: MAJOR Scores from 2 days at the wrecking yards Glide out spare tire carriers and
 

Are the glide out tire carriers for sale? I need one for my 86 Silverado.

Re: MAJOR Scores from 2 days at the wrecking yards Glide out spare tire carriers and
 

Can you tell me more or direct me to more info on your 4bt swap? What do you get for fuel mileage?

Re: MAJOR Scores from 2 days at the wrecking yards Glide out spare tire carriers and
 

The glide out spare carriers are nice as they drop quickly and are lockable. Makes life a lot easier.

Re: MAJOR Scores from 2 days at the wrecking yards Glide out spare tire carriers and
 

If you want to PM me I will be happy to help you out with whatever info I can. I am getting right at 26 highway with the 4BT

Re: MAJOR Scores from 2 days at the wrecking yards Glide out spare tire carriers and
 

I think they are all spoken fr but I will let you know in a few days if one falls through.

Re: MAJOR Scores from 2 days at the wrecking yards Glide out spare tire carriers and
