[1970bowtie]

id like to buy a couple things in the east texas area, maybe dfw area
i need a nice tail gate thats rust free. small dents will be ok
and i need a nice grill anything from 69-72 will be good
edit: im am also in need of all the brackets and pulleys for a long water pump v8...so if anyone has a wrecked vehicle with a motor still in it hit me up

try DG auto salvage (903) 595-6499 they have this '69 grille just sitting there



its about 3.5 miles outside the loop on highway 14 on the left towards the state park

bowtie call before you go out there i wanted that same grille and when i called they said it was gone

[1970bowtie]

dang...grilles and and tailgates are hard to get ahold of

[Blue_71]

i know i have a set of alt brackets for a LWP set up, and some pulleys. couple questions:
alt bracket bolt to the water neck, or to a hole in front of the water neck? theres 2 types
do you need pulleys with or without AC?
with or w/out PS?

ITS NOT GONE! anytime you call that guy and ask if he has something he says no... just for kicks i bought a '68 GMC grille from him... called immediately when i got home (same day i took that very pic of the '69 chevy) i asked him if he had any grilles for a '67-72 chevy truck and he said "nope... i just sold the last one to a young fella a few hours ago" AND IT WAS A GMC GRILLE! i had the same luck when i called and asked if he had any 350 blocks... he said nope so i went in person and he had them everywhere... the guy doesnt know what he has or is scared we'll ask him to remove them for us. bowtie just call me up friday and we'll go there together and ill bet you anything its still there

hey tav, i went yesterday , and sure enough it was still there. but apparently some moron wanted something behind it, and instead of doing it right they just tore the grille apart and threw it on the hood of another truck.
but on a good note i did get some tail light hardware the owner gave it to me free.
other than that its a nice yard,with quite a bit of good stuff still around. i would've liked to stay longer but the mesquitos were thick. and the way my luck goes id get west nile and die before my truck is done

yeah matt and i just went today and the mosquitos were HORRIBLE. we didnt get anything tho because we had only an ashtray, shift indicator, breather cap, and one door handle and he wanted to charge us $25 bucks! i was thinking maybe $10 but oh well, neither domingo or red were there it was some young guy so we said screw you and left with nothing after like 3 hours.

hey bowtie- i dug out those pulleys and alt brackets. it was to dark to get pictures, but the bottem pulley is a 3 row and the top a 2. this is the same set up thats on my 79 with PS, no AC, and the 69 (someone put a LWP system on it) with PS/ no AC.
id take $40 plus shipping for the brackets and pulleys. for another $10 ill include a water pump, was working exceptionally good 2.5 years ago when it was taken off and put up in the building. i wouldnt hesitate to use it personally

Justin, if you go to DG much you'll find that Domingo is a ass & doesn't like white people, so don't expect to get any great deals just ok ones

[1970bowtie]

the few times ive gone red has been there, havent had to deal with anyone else

[Spray-Bomb]

My dad wants $500 for the red 68 clip
