sometimes you just have to be in the right spot at the right time

[bigblock73]

I went to the junkyard last week to pick up some interior trim for my 73, when I stumbled across a late 80's CC dooley with mismatched doors. While I was inside looking for trim, I noticed these doors were 73-76 and with NICE door panels...needless to say I picked up my trim AND the door panels...grand total for everything...$14!

Last night while surfing CL, I saw an ad for 73-80 TRUCK bumpers, front and rear (sport!), with brackets and everything...he was asking $25 for it all. The ad was just listed, so I called right away and arranged a time to pick them up. I got there and since this was a rolling chassis, the bumpers were pretty easy to take off. As I was getting ready to leave I asked if he had any other parts off this '78...he said "yes". Well, I walked out of there with both bumpers, all brackets, shields, 2 NOS rear wheel tubs (L & R) with GM stickers sill on them, and a repro Chevy chrome grill in excellent shape. $60!

I usually don't get deals like this, but I never quit looking either. Just goes to show there are still parts out there to be had for cheap...just keep your eyes peeled and ask questions!

Sorry. no pics...
