went to the junkyard (pics) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

67cst · 01-29-2004, 08:15 PM

went to the junkyard today to find a tranny dipstick for the 67, had a good score on this one and the tube for 3 bucks

67cst · 01-29-2004, 08:17 PM

it was an ugly day though, freezing rain too! oh that the hood weighed a ton that had that dipstick under it, damn snow

here is the gm side of the yard

67cst · 01-29-2004, 08:18 PM

only 2 67-72s in the yard these days, both have been STRIPPED too

67cst · 01-29-2004, 08:19 PM

this 67 gmc is pretty cool, just a rust bucket but has the original stamped gmc grille on it, i snagged the hood hinges off it for my 71 this past summer

67cst · 01-29-2004, 08:20 PM

this one here was allright when they got it but like the other one its pretty well stripped, it looks okay in the pic but i bet it has bondo inches thick on it

67cst · 01-29-2004, 08:22 PM

afterwards i swung by wally world to look for some dub city trucks and saw this in the parking lot, man it was cool lol

*67Fleetsidedream* · 01-29-2004, 08:23 PM

I am sorry but I think I would have waited until it warmed up. Too cold for me. I like to go junkin when it is at least 65 out.

67cst · 01-29-2004, 08:24 PM

last pic here...can you say boat!

junkyardjohn · 01-29-2004, 08:30 PM

COOL -- MY @SS IS BUILT A LITTLE CLOSE TO THE SIDEWALK, SO I REPLACE THE DIPSTICKS & TUBES FOR ONES OUT OF A VAN. THAT WAY I DON'T HAVE TO CLIMB UP IN MY 4X4 ENGINE BAY, JUST TO CHECK THE OIL.

spencra · 01-29-2004, 08:32 PM

You should snag that door off of the 72. From the pic it looks to be in great shape.

*dtlilly* · 01-29-2004, 08:33 PM

Good deal on the dip stick, did you get the o-ring gasket for where it pushes in the tranny?

The red 72 in pics looks like the passenger door might be cleaner than some i've seen.

67cst · 01-29-2004, 08:42 PM

dtilly the o ring on it is mint, i dont htink it was in the truck that long, spencra, the door looks allright but the skin on the outside is all cracked i think it has layers of bondo on it, i bet if you got it down to bare metal it would give you nightmares, if they were any good they wouldve been gone long ago, everyone and their dog has seen that truck

CG · 01-29-2004, 11:37 PM

ugh ill take seattles rain over snow

i use a van dipstick also john

**smitty62** · 01-30-2004, 01:54 AM

What car is that? My neighbor up the street has one exactly like that, except it's got a black suede finish to it and it's lowered down to about 3" from the ground.

**Canadian694x4** · 01-30-2004, 02:19 AM

Is the '67 GMC a Shorty 4x4?
