I'm really loving the various junk yards

[Mister-B]

Can't believe how many awesome original parts I've found for next to nothing. I found a new yard today with 3 67-72 Chevy/GMC trucks. I've been picking on two from another location already. Today I found the molding piece in front of my rear tire that I was missing. Got it for 5 bucks. The nice thing too, is that it matches the rest of the molding, whereas buying that one piece new would really stand out. I also found two like new defroster vents (those damn things are always cracked and broken, but these are like new. Also got two like new defroster hoses.

Yesterday, I found a fully functional heater control. The one my truck came with snapped away from the rivets, and was hard to move the switches. The light didn't work either. Got a like new one for 19 bucks off a '71

I also got a like new glovebox liner for 5 bucks, a cab light lens of free, and a couple very nice original door handles.

I've noticed both yards didn't show any inventory at all for even having one of our trucks, but when I went back there, one yard had two trucks, and the other had three.

Anyway, here's a pic of my new molding piece installed. Looks so much better
