Junkyard Fun
Post Seek And Ye Shall Find :
I was out in my favorite local Self Service Junkyard last week chasing a '58 Metropolitan Nash FHC when I decided to look all the way in the back of the yard and found this gem : As you can see the cab was in pretty good shape with minimal rust on the toe board edges . It's a 1969 Chevrolet C/30 flat bed with 250 CID and manual Muncie SM465 tranny , you can see the hard to find power brake booster and brackets , both of them , still left on this rig . the engine was nice and clean inside indicating regular oil changes ~ this is the sort of thing I look for when buying used engines at scrap value . Pretty well picked over by the time I found it , I did grab both driver's side door hinges and a lot of " Just So " original hardware . The previous scavengers were boobs and dropped the tranny on the hard to find original air cleaner , I bought it anyway and hopefully will be able to assemble one nice one out of my growing collection of these remote air cleaners . It was bugger-all HOT so in spite of my shady sun hat , I passed out in the hearse as soon as we left the yard with parts'Oplenty in the back . I thought I took another photo of the raised mounts factory stamped into the cab's roof ~ the lenses were all ruined but it'd be nice to use this cab on my '60 C/10 . I am actively looking for a rust free '67 ~ '72 cab now (HINT) .
