This never happens to me....

I know you guys will appreciate this more than my wife....I was at a local JY last Friday to see if they had any odd things I was looking for.....I started in on a couple trucks that had been pretty well picked over, when out no where, the forklift guy drop a 72 lwb about 10 feet from me!!!!! I could not believe my eyes ....they were starting a new row of "classic" parts trucks...and this one hadn't been touched (well other than someone taking the AC compressor off of it)....then here comes the forklift guy with a 67 lwb stepper UNTOUCHED!!!!.....Needless to say, I had only plan on being there for an hour (it was about 95 out), BUT I ended up staying for 4 hours pulling all the parts I could....luckily they had a guy driving around in a golf cart with ICE COLD water!!!!...He was a life saver because I didn't come prepare to stay this long in the heat!!!...I plan on going back when I get a chance....
I'll be posting up what I found in the Parts for Sale forum....so keep an eye out for it.....

Keep your eyes open for one of those tilt deals.... Next time the drive might be worth it!
