Decent Day at the Junkyard - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Huskerboy2 · 03-13-2006, 12:18 PM

Went up to Dallas this weekend to pick up a cab. Met 68shortstep. Great guy, thanks Don.

Took my time getting home and stopped by a yard that happened to be open on Sunday.

Picked up a tinted rear window, with perfect stainless trim, a GM instrument panel badge out of a '68, and a nice set of cab divider trim. $25 bucks. For me, that's a great junkyard day, because I never find anything.

Sounds like a good day. I normally find mud and mosquitos on my junkyard runs locally.

The GM instrument panel badge is a CHOKE DELETE. Rare piece.

Only problem is I want to take most of the stuff there home

The funny thing is, it was literally almost the only part left on the truck.

I'm usually about two years too late on the trucks I find. If I were interested in frames, rust, wheels and flat tires, I'd be set.

Nice finds.
