dogs a$$ plus a bright sunny day = super score!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**tkeduk8r** · 11-10-2009, 01:36 AM

Just got to resizing these tonight, so here goes.... I had won the H1N1 sweepstakes and was out of work all last week with it. Spent most of the week with a fever, on good drugs, etc. etc. etc. so by the time saturday had rolled around i had to get out of hte house and do ANYTHING just to keep my sanity. So late mroing rolls around and I decide to run over to a yard around here and pick up a harness I forgot to grab for a 60-63 deluxe cluster i am refurbishing and pay the guy 20 bucks I had owed from my last trip out that way... While im out snagging the dash harness I notice 3 green 67-72 fleet trucks off to the side I had not seen there b4. This yard NEVER gets anyting new in, but a local paving company scrapped out a few of their trucks to this guy. I took a peek at them and a 1/2 hour in and out turned into a few extra hours... This is what I came home with... and as a side note i have been into these trucks for 15+ years and a member of this site for 9, and have NEVER seen 1 left in a vehicle... here are the pics...

**tkeduk8r** · 11-10-2009, 01:41 AM

I also did keep all the choke and throttle cables in their entirity(?) with all mouting brackets and bolts. I also carefully removed all the tach harnesses "gauge to coil". Takes a litttle longer that way, but I had just enuf sun that day to do it.... One of the larger trucks he had there had the truck 427 in it with a marking onthe winshield that said "stuck" although i was able to turn it over... hmmmmm... Im going to call out there tomorrow to see what he wants for that... I will be resoring the clusters and hopefully be putting htem for sale in the near future, but it takes a while to go through them properly and test everything out... I am int he process of building a gauge testing center for my work bench that hopefully will speed up the process... should be able to test the tach, ammeter, temp and oil presss gauges if all goes well.... enjoy, i need ot get to bed....

H1N1 sweepstakes huh!! Holy crap you hit the mother load - CONGRATS on an awesome score.

I gotta find someone with the "Swine" flu now!!!

shaneschevys · 11-10-2009, 01:45 AM

Nice score!

**71blksuper4x4** · 11-10-2009, 03:45 AM

What a score, those are the trips that make up for many that you come home with a few small ends. Trevor

petey-pablo · 11-10-2009, 04:10 AM

Dam What a Score

I would be happy if I found one of those gauge cluster with tach.

tcb-1 · 11-10-2009, 04:46 AM

big_al_71 · 11-10-2009, 08:38 AM

Thats is definetly a great score....specially the tach dashes...

72BlckButy · 11-10-2009, 09:15 AM

Awesome score on the tach dashes and other items. I'll be keeping my eye on the parts board....

**too much stuff** · 11-10-2009, 10:12 AM

Nice score. I thought i did good sometimes.

67ChevyRedneck · 11-10-2009, 10:29 AM

Wow! That's quite a score for one day!

You won one sweetstakes I'm doing my best to never win!

msgross · 11-10-2009, 10:44 AM

those are 80lb oil pressure gauges too...

nice score!

lyrikz · 11-10-2009, 11:29 AM

"" I had won the H1N1 sweepstakes and was out of work all last week with it.""

OMG. I literally spit coffee all over the monitor. The first time i read it my first thought was, "who is hosting a sweepstakes, i wonder what he won" AHAHAH... It is my first cup of the day...

**68350** · 11-10-2009, 12:13 PM

Awesome score! Did you get all of the manual throttles, too?

67ChevyRedneck · 11-10-2009, 01:20 PM

On second thought... you also need to go buy a lotto ticket ASAP!

jsbgump · 11-10-2009, 01:25 PM

Nice score

69sixpackbee · 11-10-2009, 01:27 PM

Nice!!

grayw0lf · 11-10-2009, 02:52 PM

I'd be happy to be H1N1 sick for a week if I got not just one, but THREE tach dashes at the end!

Ackattack · 11-10-2009, 03:43 PM

what are the 4 holes in the dashes for? Lights, Wiper, choke, and throttle?

Yes.

Mike, that is an amazing day at the yard. Great find!!

Edit: Don't forget that those 427's are tall decks, and not worth what car 427's are worth.

But all tall decks, 366's & 427's, have 4 bolt mains, the main caps can be installed in short deck big blocks, and have steel cranks, which can be used in 396's and 427 standard deck blocks. Plus these blocks can be bored .120+ without having the over heating issues like the short deck blocks do.

**NGN** · 11-10-2009, 08:34 PM

there's no time for sleep, get back there man! grab a box of tissues move it move it move it!!! nice score, hope you feel better soon. what is and does the throttle knob do anyway?

**tkeduk8r** · 11-10-2009, 08:48 PM

throttle knob holds the throttle open at a certain/desired RPM most often used to power PTO driven accessories (winch, hydraulic pump, etc.). Some guys use them as poor mans cruise control. Some guys (like me) with GOCD (gauge obsessive compulsive disorder) put them in there trucks because there is a hole stamped in to their dash and need to fill it with what was supposed to go there

....

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-10-2009, 04:44 PM

Very nice score! I hope you get over the Swine flu soon too.

powell72 · 11-10-2009, 08:11 PM

Yeah, I'd say that's a pretty good day at the yard.
