Road side junkyard jackpot!

Found this along the road about 45 miles from home and had to stop! I look for this type stuff when I'm out of town. Guy had around 20 trucks and 10 of them was squarebodys. I asked if I could "look around" and ''anything for sale"? He said yes and yes. The 81 K30 1ton had a no cracks dash pad. He said "dash pad not for sale". "I'm going to get that one back on the road". " I have another good dash pad in the shed". We took a look and sure enough another no cracks original GM dash pad. I couldn't believe it! ''How much I said''. "$35" he said. I couldn't get the cash out of my pocket fast enough! Original uncracked GM dash pads really do exist and this guy had 2. Guy was super cool and I ended up buying couple other parts. Dash pad not for sale!

I have stopped a few times at various places and most people are nice. I have never had any trouble, but a buddy had shotgun pulled on him and got bit by a german shepard once.
