Sweet Score day!!
I went to look at some headers off of Craigslist today, and when I got there I saw that the old-timer had a 72 Blazer on swampers, a slammed 75 longbed and a pristine 69 Nova that he told me he was building a 427 muncie combo for. We did the car talk thing for a while and as a shot in the dark I asked if he happened to have a couple of 73-80 fenders laying around since my recent purchase was a DUI victim. He told me he had a nice 73 front clip minus hood. with a cherry grill. I was bracing myself for him to say 300 bucks for it. When he said I could have it for 100 I RAN to the ATM. It is in great condition with one tiny dimple on the front drivers side. Doing the swap this weekend will try to remember pics. Oh yeah and he said he dragged these trucks home all the time and to call if I needed more parts

Re: Sweet Score day!!
You better go kiss the guy. If the grill is that nice, it's worth the 100 and then some.

Re: Sweet Score day!!
Sweet deal! Old timer either charge through the nose or charge barely anything. I like to purchase from the latter.
