What I did today for 38 bucks and found something interesting
 

I went to the junkyard today for no paticular reason but just to see what was lurking around. I wound up finding a 72 C20 that had been wrapped around a pole and man what a shame this thing was in great shape no rust at all and I got these great parts! Bench seat that had recently been recovered nice working door handle (mine broke last year:lol:) and shifter indicator! The grand total was 38 bucks for all. YES!!! Attachment 642424

Attachment 642425


Once I got the parts home it was time to go to work. I pulled my rig into the garage and started wrenching. Heres a few pics. Before Attachment 642426 and after Attachment 642427

I usually hate sundays aside from football but It felt good to do something productive for once and my bears won today too so that helped alot haha.



Another truck caught my eye after I pulled the bench seat out of the 72. I found a 69 C20 that looked in too good of shape to be at a junkyard. I got closer and noticed the rockers were completely gone and the floorboards were rusted through. I checked the spif and it was an original 396 truck on another note I noticed these awsome door panels that have a bowtie at the top and the middle. Attachment 642432 I have never seen these before and tried to get them out but the covering shredding on the bottom of the driverside when I got the bolt out so I said screw it. Anybody seen or know about these panels?


Keepin' it epic, Evan

Good score! I am going to the local yard tomorrow, I'm getting a 6 lug posi rear with 3.73s, I'm sure that it will cost more than your $38 bill :lol:.

Yes, those are the 1969 CST door panels. In 70'-71' they got the woodgrain. Trevor

Those door panels are very popular where I live. There on all my trucks and came that way. I also have a ton of them in good condition laying around. I thought that's how they came.

Re: What I did today for 38 bucks and found something interesting
 

Nice score! That's why I like the pick-n-pulls, ya can just browse around and see what ya like. And usually dirt cheap.

Re: What I did today for 38 bucks and found something interesting
 

those door panels are early 69. In late 69 they had no markings there.
The GMC ones said GMC in the top center where toe bow tie is in that photo

Re: What I did today for 38 bucks and found something interesting
 

Thanks for that info Longhorn Man. I was wondering why all the ones I find have no darn bow tie. :lol:
