Well, had a fun day today...but didn't get anything I needed! I did get a very nice '55 Chev tailgate with orig paint I am going to hang on my garage wall as a decoration and I also got my BB radiator cover top piece...both for $25. There was a 78 or 79 4x4 long box that looks like it just arrived (and drove in there)...and it had a 400 in it....boy was that tempting!!

I could not find any useable gauge lenses without the hole...but there were at least five that I saw...all were clouded up or cracked.

I did see some kick panels in red, but all had the AC option, the one that had a red interior and NO AC already had them romoved.

I only saw one or two 5 window cabs...but no rear corner glass was left.

Tow hooks, saw pletny of 4x4s of the 67-72 variety...but NON had tow hooks...or tach dashes...they must be desireable.

Chris, I left before you replied...but I saw a few red interior Blazers...didn't look for seatbelts though.

I went to two yards today...one called "Windy Hill" and the other called "Rohners". Rohners is in Wilmar Minnesota, Windy Hill is in the next town or two...but can't remember the name. Rohners is the place to go if you need 67-72 or 73-80 stuff! There was no less than 50 67-72 trucks, blazers, and burbs...and about the same 73-80 count...simply amazing. Most of the stuff is not too picked over...but the cars are just "thrown" in there and getting to some of them can be a challenge. Both places have PLENTY of 20's-70's stuff...most being of the 50's era.

If you want to have fun, go to Rohners and spend the entire day...you will need it!

On a side note, found a pair of 91 burb power doors...the owner wanted $65 each!! I paid $400 for mine and they are just as nice and in damn near perfect shape! If only I had the space...
