Re: What did you get done?
There’s an old guy on my route (I’m a UPS driver) that has been bugging me to clean out his shed. He knows I’m into trucks and he recently sold a 74 he bought new. No, its not what you think, the 74 was ROUGH. He said his shed was full of parts. I was reluctant because I knew he wouldn’t take any money from me. He pulled up next to me Friday and asked again, I gave in and went over there Saturday.
He had a parking lot full of tail light lenses, parking light lenses and marker lights, all cracked. LOL. Several dash bezels, all cracked/broken. A bunch of broken instrument panels, and several gauges that I’ll test. No tachs. I was able to sell 5 cast iron sbc 2-barrel intakes for him along with 5 pair of stock sbc bare heads. I know some guys that race asphalt and their rules require the cast iron stuff, they were very happy, so was my buddy.
I brought home 2 steering wheels that I’ll try and clean up. Also brought home a 250 cylinder head with a “script” steel valve cover. No, he wouldn’t take any money but he was tickled to death when my friends handed him some cash for the heads and intakes. He was going to take them to the scrap yard. Now he has a clean shed and a very full trash can at the curb.
Oh, and i forgot to add, now he has some "walking around money". His words.
