Sorry "THE "10" SILVERADO", Not trying to hijack this thread nor am i trying to steal your thunder... BUT....

I work at a wrecking yard where we have 3 nearly identical 89-91 suburbans, that are all in good body shape with exception of one that was hit on the right side. the radiator supports are all good and not rusted. but my question is to DREAMER1.

pretty much all the usual parts are available from LMC and/or Brothers. why would you spend the same amount (or roughly the same) for used parts as you could purchase these parts new from one of the aftermarket offerings?

also what tailgate bands are we looking for? I have a cherry one on my 86 that is gonna get removed. and one of the trucks that we just got in is a 77 i think with a factory tach cluster in it. I would be willing to ask the boss what his price is for this if any one is interested and can tell me what it is worth on the open market. if bosses price is overboard i wont bother with the work to remove it. we are pretty much what is termed an "insurance quality" yard. meaning top dollar, we sell to mostly upper end body shops and we do not have much walk in traffic. so the boss can price customers out the door if he doesnt want to deal with them.

Also, fender badges? are they worth a darn if the mounting tabs are busted? i am a lazy bastard and wont pull a fender just for the badge, would probably take a putty knife to the tabs tho

EDIT:: OH and i personally have 4 sets of factory 5 lug rally wheels and one set of factory alloy 'rally' wheels that take the same center caps as the steelies. if any one is looking
