WHAT did you pick up for your truck today - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

LT1 Burb · 10-12-2011, 11:01 PM

I am out of town working and stumbled upon a guy with a pair of rust free doors, a perfect fender and two perfect inner fenders. Just grabbed one door as one was dented in a bad spot though, and he threw in a rust free battery box. Also grabbed a good rad support and a gauge set. Now I have to work out of a van stocked with parts, that could be a challenge.

I'm picking up a bench seat tomorrow. Picked up an inner radiator core support for $50 today.

srziemkowski · 10-13-2011, 09:17 AM

Received ups complete under dash and under hood heater box since p/o of mine tossed all of it, thank you again biohazard bill

Bears63 · 10-13-2011, 09:24 AM

On Tuesday I took delivery of a painted rear bumper. Wanted to replace my custom bumper since I don't care for how it has to be bolted to the rear fenders.

qksilver · 10-13-2011, 09:30 PM

a headache?

pmkrew · 10-13-2011, 09:45 PM

Looked at mine with longing while it sits heartless at my buddies shop waiting on me to finish/ acquire a new engine for it. Gotta get the lead out...

kcsa75 · 10-13-2011, 09:53 PM

$50 worth of gas. And it didn't even fill it up!

csa daddy · 10-14-2011, 05:53 AM

spindles

BillyDeluxe · 10-14-2011, 06:21 AM

I picked up a set of center caps for my 6 lugs today.

chad64chevy · 10-14-2011, 10:58 PM

while sunday i'll be meeting up with 'JesseSimon" and getting a good non-cracked windshield for $50 and i'll be buying a set of doors from him too! since my uncle hit my pass. door with a riding lawn mower and put a crease in it, lol!! 1 1/2 hr drive but gonna be well worth it!!

LT1 Burb · 10-15-2011, 12:14 PM

I was just happy to find one good door. I can't believe I have 8 doors and every one of them is junk. They are really hard to find in good shape, I probably shoul;d have grabbed the other one this guy had but it was creased and I didn't want 9 bad doors.

Rich 5150 69 · 10-15-2011, 12:17 PM

Surely you could have made one good door out of nine...

I did get two junk doors for free, mine has the paint starting to blister at the pinch at the bottom front corner on both sides, and I want to replace the sheet metal where the po had cut out the doors for speakers, not to mention that the left side they used a hot wrench to get the left window mechanism out...some people should never own vehicles.

Rich 5150 69 · 10-17-2011, 01:57 AM

i did pick up off of CL today a Edlebrock 2104 manifold for my truck, bran new never ran in the box for a hundred, now I`ve got to rebuild the Holley 4175 I`ll slap on it.

**pdxhall** · 10-17-2011, 03:14 AM

Picked up a radio delete plate off of ebay for 23 bucks including shipping.

blue64c20 · 10-17-2011, 03:50 PM

picked up some vintage fire truck pumper handles and some seat belts for my 64, figure i can use the pumper handles as a shift knob

Surfdaddy · 10-17-2011, 05:39 PM

Went to the Pomona Swapmeet to try and find parts. Walked about 7 miles and all I got was sore hips!!! Looked at quite a few 60-66 trucks though. It’s amazing how much junk people dig up and think it’s gold.

Leadfoot Lambert · 10-17-2011, 05:54 PM

Over the last couple days I picked up a complete un cut dash with stock radio and knobs, also a set of heater delete panels, 2 front bumper brackets, 3 window crank handles, 3 inside door handles, 2 inside door panels, 1 inside day/night rear view mirror, 2 kick panel vents with good rubbers, and I have a left front fender on the way, should see it Wednesday

hopped up · 10-17-2011, 06:53 PM

went to pomona and found a pair of door panels. i only needed 1 but he wouldnt sell just one , understandably. also picked up a chevy 2 steering wheel for my truck, in good shape with the chrome ring . for 40 bucks!! he was asking 120!!

LT1 Burb · 10-19-2011, 12:40 AM

Picked up doors 9 & 10 today, hopefully they will be my last. Nice guy too, had a few trucks sitting in the woods and one was factory air, he said I could take whatever I wanted free of charge. Just gotta watch the hantivirus.

krazy_texan · 10-19-2011, 10:13 AM
