Long day at the junk yard well worth the time and money see (pics) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

After absorbing all the wonderful knowledge you guys have been feeding me the last week, I jumped at the chance to grab all these parts to start my 5 lug disk conversion. I Spent just about all day at the local junk yard and brought home some gold!
I picked up a 75 5 lug 3.42 posi, control arms, A Arms, Spindles, rotors, Calipers, Brake lines, Master cylinder, booster, hard lines, center link, drag link, and inter and outer tie rod ends off a 78. I even took the time to pull off a rear sway bar of a P30 (witch was a royal pain I might add). On Thursday I pulled a 3.25 lock to lock steering box with pump off a 74.
I also pulled a 1 1/4 front sway bar of an 84 witch came with 4 solid poly bushings

.
While I was under the p30 I spotted that holly fuel pump and I just had to grab it. Is that blue thing bolted to it a regulator?

The Front sway bar is installed already and what a difference it makes. It sure helped with the load I brought home today. I picked all this up for just about $500. Beats the thousands I could have spent.
For those of you who took the time to answer my questions, Thank You!
Here are some pics of my find.

Looks like you cleaned up pretty well! All the junkyards are closing up shop where I live; nothing cool like you have. You'll have to keep us posted on the install of the other parts.

That's a big flatbed your building behind that axle. Just kidding. Nice work.
