A good day at the old tow yard - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

i herd from a freind of a flatbed truck sitting in a tow yard that was going to the scrap yard so checked it out and it was a 68gmc with a flat bed full of garbage so i got a few things and have a few questions.
i have a complete drivers door with no rust and good working window. will it fit on my 70?
i have a complete dash gauge display and gauges with the lights and wiper holes on the left and the choke on the right.
how hard is it change that out?
i also have a glove box door with factory decal on it.
i also tookthe grill with light bezels and a bumper as well. i took the grill for a freind he hit a deer on a road trip.
will it fit on his 69?
i also got the gas cap and the dome light.
im going back for the seatbelts and hood.
the truck was originally painted yellow then blue then back and white.
there was also a trailer with a long fleetsdie box. but its pretty rusted and missing a wheel well.

i will take some pictures and post them if i can figure it out.

hey does it have a headliner? How about a cab light? Did a 68 have the GMC in the chrome on the grill?
cheers

Congrats on the find. Looks like shoobear wants to fish in your fishin' hole.

Great find. If only we could all be so lucky.

its the grill with the black paint down the middle. i only wish it had a headliner and yes there was a interior light.
it also had cab lights and super solid rocker panels which im going to cut out.
the rear cab mounts on my 70 are rusted right away leaving the cab sagging over an inch in the rear. the cab mounts on the truck i found look very solid. is it possible to take those off? either way im gonna get the hardware and bushings.
the truck has the original steering column and my truck doesnt is it an easy pull out and swap?
