Les, no swap meet. I was walking through 1 1/2' of snow with my toolbox under my arm and about 20 degrees and windy. It was like work that paid well. A few dashes were already pulled in a storage building. The price? I didn't steal them, but i think it was a fair price. The people i dealt with knew what they were.

Eric, You must have been a good distance from here if you found 1.5 feet of snow! Is that a rare floor shift tilt?

Wasn't that far. Up until today, i had probably close to a foot in my yard. I think i plowed 4 times in the last 2 weeks.
The column is an auto missing the shifter.

Well done Eric mate, great result & more cool truck parts saved...I'm interested to know all about that sweet talkin that went on for the signs, how sweet was it exactly?

He was more willing to sell the tach dashes than those signs.

Randy,
I just watched one of those signs not as nice as mine on e-bay go for $433!!!!!!!!
Mine is on my wall and a close friend got the other. (neither for sale)
Nigel,

May have to see if the guy will let loose of 1 or 2 more....

Nice score Eric!! Like Tim said, we just don't find any of that kind of stuff here. Like everyone else, I would love to have one of those signs, they are cool!.
