Picked up an 85 longbed parts truck with sport wheels and glide out spare tire carrie
This is not a for sale post. Just got back into town. Once I get settled in a some parts off I will post them in the classifieds. Drove 5 and 1/2 hours today to California to pick up a 79 GMC step side short bed and an 85 fleet side long bed. Both are rust free . The GMC doesn't have a rear axle so we will be pulling the one out of the 85 and bring it back to CA when we pick up the GMC. Just too hard to get it onto a trailer without an axle. The 85 will be parted out. It has white sport wheels and a glide out spare tire carrier. The guy also threw in enough parts to fill 2 pickup beds. I will have the 85 home tomorrow and post some pictures up. It was a long drive but couldn't beat the price!

Re: Picked up an 85 longbed parts truck with sport wheels and glide out spare tire ca
Some times it's better to buy a whole car/truck, than to buy a bunch of parts! If you have the room to part something out, I recommmend it

Re: Picked up an 85 longbed parts truck with sport wheels and glide out spare tire ca
It was a good score! Dirt cheap as the guy had 5 acres is stuff and was selling his house. This is only the second set of white 5 lug sport wheels I have ever found. We will be spraying down the whole under carriage on the white truck with penetrating oil so it has a chance to work in on the 5 hour road trip home today. I want it to come apart as easily as possible! Truck was kind of a weird truck. Pretty loaded but was a non a/c Silverado. The GMC is just a Sierra Grande. Being in the parts business I have been wanting to part trucks out for years and the Silverado will be my first . It is a CA truck and I bought it with a bill of sale only due to back registration fees

Re: Picked up an 85 longbed parts truck with sport wheels and glide out spare tire ca
When you part out whole trucks, you get a bunch of non premium parts also. I was thinking you had it better by just grabbing the good stuff at the wrecking yards and leaving the rest behind while I have to pull all of the non premium parts off of my trucks and try to sell them.

I thought that you would have gone after the crew on c/l for $900 looks a little rough but seems like a good parts truck.

Re: Picked up an 85 longbed parts truck with sport wheels and glide out spare tire ca
Pictures are now up. There is more than I posted but this is most of it. I won't have the GMC home until next week but I am probably keeping it for myself. I am pretty partial to the pre 81 GMCs and this one is a dual tank truck.

Re: Picked up an 85 longbed parts truck with sport wheels and glide out spare tire ca
Tom, I didn't see it but these trucks were such a good deal as they had a really good sum of parts. The 85 was well optioned and the stepside is a shortbed dual tank truck and both are completely rust free so it was just a good deal. I think I am going to work on hauling sheetmetal/trucks back east and the Midwest if there is a good market for it.

Re: Picked up an 85 longbed parts truck with sport wheels and glide out spare tire ca
There is a market for it I believe as long as one doesn't get too crazy with prices. When I was looking for a rest free cab and bed there were two different guys that prices of $2400 for a cab and $1750 for a bed. I think that is a bit much, granted they were rust free but still.

They look good to me. Not sure what you ended up having to pay but I don't think you could have gone wrong. Did they throw in the flat tire for free?

Sounds like I should pack my duffle bags with money and go to Arizona and give you some competition

I have the twin to your 85. It also has a gang of back DMV fees.

There are still some people that I catch at the gas station from time to time that are from further north. They always come back with a trailer full of beds stood up on end and usually a bed full of doors. Sometimes the truck and trailer is nothing but doors, fenders, etc. These guys go down and bring them back and sell from their location where as you would be bringing here and not sure how you would go about selling them. Not sure how you would go about finding some midwest contacts to maybe sell your load to and then they could resell.

Re: Picked up an 85 longbed parts truck with sport wheels and glide out spare tire ca
I appreciate everyone's input! Hope I can make this work out one way or another. I have wanted to part out trucks for a while and it is a good way to save some money on the stuff I need for my own vehicles. I forgot to mention that the stepside is dual tanks which is pretty hard to come by on these.
