Today I found a short bed fleetside bed in perfect shape. I mean no rot, one small ding...

Not to mention this guy has 3-4 tons (literally) of very rot free sheet metal that he's been storing in his barns for more than 20 years.

Like 8 trucks worth of parts laying around.

Rot free, uncut doors. Perfect tailgates, with or without trim.

I bought it all.

I think my shortbed C10 project just hit the fast track.

WOW!

Talk about the proverbial barn cache! The tailgates sound like a particularly impressive find. Congrats.

longhorn71 · 10-23-2005, 10:38 PM

great find!!!

*FormerMember* · 10-23-2005, 10:57 PM

I'll be kicking most of it loose, once I build my C10 shorty, my K20 shorty and a few others

**Green Machine** · 10-23-2005, 11:02 PM

How did you find out about that stuff ? BTW I need a good tailgate - got a spare ??

*FormerMember* · 10-23-2005, 11:05 PM

I drove by this guy's barn, after looking at another bed that was junk. He had one truck out on his yard with a for sale sign on it. I stopped to chit chat.

He showed me what he had and I broke out my check book.

I am not sure yet what I will let go of!

A barry grant is a very pretty holley. Made with better materials too.

*72CSTC5* · 10-24-2005, 10:21 PM

We would love to see all of that rust free sheetmetal. Like seeing a unicorn you know what I mean.

chickenwing · 10-25-2005, 10:34 AM

Could ya take pics BEFORE you start crating it off? Would like to see the parts in the original barn. And yes, I will take the pic to the bathroom. Is that so wrong?

krue · 10-25-2005, 12:39 PM
