Pull-a-part day!

Hey guys. I was wondering if someone could chime in on some vent panels I got today at the local yard. There was a loaded 61 there and It looks like it still has some good stuff left interior wise. The deluxe wheel is gone, but still has the deluxe heater/controls, dash stuff. I grabbed the lower kickpanel vents and brackets. They have a covered grill and are pull cable operated with nice chrome knobs, they worked really nice. I've never seen/noticed these before. Was this an option? or a specific year deal? All Ive had/have are the manual pull type on the vent itself. As you can see I couldn't pass up the sweet BBW panel. Its a shame the trucks fate was destined to a salvage yard.

Re: Pull-a-part day!

I can grab the bumper if someone wants it. I'm out of town for a couple weeks tho. Yeah, the BBW panel and all my vent stuff cost me 23.85! Boy did I get robbed.

Re: Pull-a-part day!

For the guys contacting me about the other parts, I will not be going back for at least 2 weeks. I'm out of town. If that stuff is still there I'll grab it and let ya know what the cost was on the parts you wanted. Hope I can help out.
