Picked up an 85 longbed parts truck with sport wheels and glide out spare tire carrie
This is not a for sale post. Just got back into town. Once I get settled in a some parts off I will post them in the classifieds. Drove 5 and 1/2 hours today to California to pick up a 79 GMC step side short bed and an 85 fleet side long bed. Both are rust free . The GMC doesn't have a rear axle so we will be pulling the one out of the 85 and bring it back to CA when we pick up the GMC. Just too hard to get it onto a trailer without an axle. The 85 will be parted out. It has white sport wheels and a glide out spare tire carrier. The guy also threw in enough parts to fill 2 pickup beds. I will have the 85 home tomorrow and post some pictures up. It was a long drive but couldn't beat the price!

Some times it's better to buy a whole car/truck, than to buy a bunch of parts! If you have the room to part something out, I recommmend it ;) Sounds like a good score!

When you part out whole trucks, you get a bunch of non premium parts also. I was thinking you had it better by just grabbing the good stuff at the wrecking yards and leaving the rest behind while I have to pull all of the non premium parts off of my trucks and try to sell them.

I thought that you would have gone after the crew on c/l for $900 looks a little rough but seems like a good parts truck.

Pictures are now up. There is more than I posted but this is most of it. I won't have the GMC home until next week but I am probably keeping it for myself. I am pretty partial to the pre 81 GMCs and this one is a dual tank truck.

They look good to me. Not sure what you ended up having to pay but I don't think you could have gone wrong. Did they throw in the flat tire for free?

Sounds like I should pack my duffle bags with money and go to Arizona and give you some competition :lol:

I have the twin to your 85. It also has a gang of back DMV fees.

There are still some people that I catch at the gas station from time to time that are from further north. They always come back with a trailer full of beds stood up on end and usually a bed full of doors. Sometimes the truck and trailer is nothing but doors, fenders, etc. These guys go down and bring them back and sell from their location where as you would be bringing here and not sure how you would go about selling them. Not sure how you would go about finding some midwest contacts to maybe sell your load to and then they could resell. |

I appreciate everyone's input! Hope I can make this work out one way or another. I have wanted to part out trucks for a while and it is a good way to save some money on the stuff I need for my own vehicles. I forgot to mention that the stepside is dual tanks which is pretty hard to come by on these.
