Scored at the Salvaged Yard Today! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

4tiresngas · 09-08-2005, 10:10 PM

I went to the local salvage yard today and they have a 69-70 Chevrolet that was a catering/deli truck.

I got the intact, pristine heater controls, the ash tray, the fiber optic pointer cable, and the turn signal cancelling cam all for $20.

I'm going back tomorrrow to get the automatic colum and turned back ram horn exhaust manifolds off it.

On a scale of 10, I'd rate the outer grill an 8, anf the chrome front bumper an 8 also.

I'm sure I'll find other stuff I want off it. It has factory guages. I think it was a 2-barrel with original breather. I'll take my camera tomorrow in case there is something some needs.

Gotta Luv it when you find stuff you can use at cheap prices getting harder and harder to do these days.

Going to grab the bumper? Is it bent? From what I have read, the originals are thicker than the repos..might be worth taking.

I took some pictures today; however, they are on my work camera. I do not have a download cable for it at home. The bumper is fine. I do think they are thicker. I was climbing out from under a hood today, and I thought the fenders were alot more sturdy than my repro ones. Some other small items I can grab if someone needs then are:

1 automatic shifter linkage
1 throttle linkage (rod type)
2 heater controls

I'll post picture of the truck when I can. One of them is a Custom Camper20 that was made into a tow truck.
