I can't believe yards are still scrapping these
-
I picked these up at a small rural salvage yard. The guy said he gets old grain trucks in every couple of months with them in and doesn't save them. He is going to start saving them for me.... I'm not sure what the deal is on the tach/vac one. It looks stock from the back but the tach part of the lens doesn't have numbers on it. Someone put small labels on it. Maybe the tach was added and they couldn't find a tach/vac lens. The best one is going in the Red & White '70. I may try to restore the tach/vac one. I will use the bell housing on the '34 Ford when I put the 5 speed in it. LockDoc

Re: I can't believe yards are still scrapping these
I think you nailed it on the first dash having tach added. Maybe they just didn't think to grab the lens cuz they didn't know better. The first tach dash I ever found in a medium duty I didn't know better. I took the tach and lens...that's it! Later I kicked myself in the butt for not just tacking the whole dang thing. It was a vacuum dash,too. I didn't even care about that,just wanted the tach.
What did the bell housing come from. I'm trying to learn something here. Did it by chance come from the big truck,or was it from a car? Wondering if any trucks ever came with aluminum bell housings. I have one for my '67 I'm using an M22 in (rear trans mount/auto cross member)

Re: I can't believe yards are still scrapping these
On a recent cross country trip, we stopped at a yard along the interstate where they had crushed a 4x4 with locking hubs 30mins before we got there. I think I'm going to send them pics and prices and postage paid boxes for the factory lockout hubs. Its ridiculous but I'm sure theyve crushed tilts and towhooks also.

Re: I can't believe yards are still scrapping these
Hey LockDoc, could you tell me where you got the sticker of the eyes on the side of your hot rod? I've been wanting some to put on my '89.

Re: I can't believe yards are still scrapping these
We are pretty lucky up here, most of the yards won't crush them untill they are stripped pretty bare, which doesn't take long.
