**70cst** · 05-19-2010, 05:47 PM

Always hate to see another truck bit the dust.

oh no! sniff sniff.

basemodel67 · 05-19-2010, 09:04 PM

Thanks for making me sad... every time an old truck gets put down, it's like someone kicking me in the doinklet - it hurts.

actually this truck is complete, and pretty solid, it even has vacuum guage set in it and an original small block with power steer assist I think. The yard wouldnt let me take any parts from it though and I practically begged for some parts

67ChevyRedneck · 05-19-2010, 11:36 PM

That's not the only one I've ever seen going to be scrapped or crushed

I saw one just last month when I brought in a little bit of stuff I had laying around.

Vacuum guage and your telling us this because you got it huh? Tell me you took it off lots of people would pay some good money for it.

nope, they refused to let me pull any parts at all. You guys arent the only one disappointed. This is still a good looking truck for a 2 ton guy

junkyardjohn · 05-20-2010, 02:48 PM

It's good thing the general made more than 6 or 8 of these.

i thought it'd be sweet to make a hauler with a c-50 or c-60 to haul the Blazer to offroading stuff for when its pushed a little bit too hard... paint with the same scheme

prolly would need to use a newer lo-pro chassis though, the blazer would be up there riding on top of that flat above...

**michael bustamante** · 05-21-2010, 04:29 PM

Ive been working with the yard and I think Im gonna be able to pull parts!!!! what should I look for? I dont think I could afford to buy the whole fron clip so thats out of the question though, Im thinkin the front bumper cuz it looks like a 1/2 ton bumper as well but I didnt look real close, the guages for sure, and what else? Remember it is a 67

c1069 · 05-21-2010, 04:43 PM

you talking about the cab lights?

**too much stuff** · 05-21-2010, 05:41 PM

Looks like a 68 to me. The front bumper looks like a bigger truck and not a pickup. The 50 emblems are worth a little, but not alot. Usually the seat belts are in decent shape on these also.

It's not their fault. There is some kind of legal issue. Once they go over the scale you can't pick the parts off them.

**michael bustamante** · 05-24-2010, 03:45 PM

seat belts cab lights, emblems, I wont be able to get those. cluster, what else?
