Re: Your best junkyard find
I was shopping for a D60 to replace the D44 in my K25, & found a beat up 1977 K35 cab chassis flatbed for $1200. Maybe not a great deal to most, since the oil pan had a hole in it, but the owner of the yard said he was scrapping the square sitting next to the truck I was buying & to take what I wanted minus the axles since they were sold.
Since I didn't have a way to lift it off, I wound up w/a th350/203 which was sitting on the flatbed, mint doors, complete with the correct door panels & keys, a mint dash pad & wood grained dash from the other truck that was being scrapped.
The K35 needed a drivers side floor, & a bench seat, but the drivetrain was fine and both axles had just had brakes done.
Now that I've installed a new engine, seat, & floor, & my K25 has a new dash pad & doors - I figure it was a pretty sweet deal.
