Gotta love a week off work, MAN MALL TIME!!

[jayharrell]

Took my 4 year old, Hank, out to the *in his words* Car Show. The first pic is just to show those Cali Boys what a real junk yard looks like. No clean concrete parking lot here.

My local pulla part only had 3 trucks. All missing doors, fenders, and hoods. The 67 *i think* still had a relay good no dent hood with emblems and grill. A good non tach dash, uncracked, would need some cleaning, have to talk the wife into getting another one. Plus an unmolested AC system. Only missing the driver vent ball. All the wiring is there too. Might have to Swing back and pick that grill and AC system up Saturday.

The 69 and 71 were pretty well stripped. The 71 has the full AC system also. Even cleaner wiring harness on that one. All the original plugs for the fuse box for the AC and radio. A definite pickup after next pay check. Just missing the Lighter *one thing i was after*.

The last pic is of what i went out there for. Radio's. Going to see if i can get some good ol AM, black helicopter, the governments out to get me type shows on them tonight. LOL

the rest

is that truck in the last pic a short bed? (in your first set of pics)

[jayharrell]

yeah. the 67 and the one next to the one your talking about are long beds.

It was in bad shape sheet metal wise. I only took one pic of the inside of the cab. But it did have a realy nice bench. All the springs and hard ware, Even the foam was in good shape. Probably just needs a cover.

I bet it was hot out there Jay...is in the upper 90's here today. Did you get any chiggers?

[jayharrell]

You aint kidding. Hot and humid. Its been sprinkling off and on for a couple of days. The boy napped pretty quick when we were done.

[Longhorn Man]

that first one is a 68, and looks like it may be a 50th annv to me.

[Pont406]

That's dangerous! Any snakes? How do you get under the cars? Here they use a special stands under the cars. I am just kidding, nice pics.

[jayharrell]

that would be nice. I wanted to get the trailing arms off that shortbed, but the fork lift guy was buzy. No rims, just stuck up to the axel in mud.

Anyone know where the FAQ thread is about fixing these radios?? I got a light, but no sound, probably my speaker.

Did the 50th have a choke or, from what it looked like but was cut at the fire wall, a throttle cable where the wiper knob is on, say, a 69??

I have been thinking about the one 71 in the yard where I got the 72 from. Its is a air cab. AC stuff is all there. I am thinking about getting it all off there for the on I am building.

Heh. "man mall" is funny. I love the scrap yard!. GF says its creepy. Er, why??

[Longhorn Man]

all 67/68s had a manual choke where the 69's wipers would be... unless optioned with a manual choke, then there was a block off plate in the choke spot.

[chrislehr]

still waiting on an address for that drivers door handle, Jay

[jayharrell]

pm sent. Sorry man. Life always gets in the way of playing with these trucks.


Well i got the local station outa both of these units. Too cool. I just need to figure out what goes behind the tune knob. Guess i wound up with a tone adjuster for both.
