Turbo 400

johnnytuff · 01-30-2011, 12:26 AM

I got a 383 stroker,tilt column,and all four EAGLE wheels from my oldest boy.

Shyguy · 01-30-2011, 12:31 AM

One of my grandson's gave me a front clip for a GMC, at least he thought it was. After I took it apart I found out I had one '69-72 fender, one GMC fender, a GMC radiator support and a Chevy hood. I never told him, I figured it was the thought that counted.

A guy I know gave me a '68 Chevy hood.

But the best thing I have been given for these old trucks is a bunch of useful information from this forum. I spend a lot of time on here, it is more fun than watching TV, lol.

I got these set of 17" wheels for free

72freak · 01-30-2011, 07:42 AM

A board member in the military here in metro Atlanta was quickly tranfered or shipped out and he posted on this site his project truck and parts for free but they had to be out of the garage by the end of the week. He was already gone and the home owner whom he was renting from was handling it.

1972 GMC short, fleet, big block, tilt, ac truck. No running gear or bed sides.
A complete factory AC system in a box.
2 nice GMC grilles
An extra AC dash
4 Camaro style rally wheels and BFG tires
Boxes and boxes or new and used parts

It all filled a car trailer and a truck.

**STP67-72** · 01-30-2011, 08:31 AM

My buddy that owned a salvage yard gave me a NOS stepside tailgate and a few years later a original paint take off cheyenne fleetside tailgate with zero scratchs. Still in top of my shop. A lot more stuff that people through in after i bought projects from them.

I thought trades weren't allowed? Just kidding, you got a pretty good list going there.

The guy who built my engine is into 67-72's and he gave me some of the odds and ends I needed when I swapped from the 351 V6 to the 350 V8. Can't remember exactly what he gave me but I know he gave me the bellhousing I needed, the right PS pump, some chrome valve covers, and a dizzy hold down.

Slick67 · 01-30-2011, 01:47 AM

Let's see. I got my truck for free, not exactly in the condition it is now. As for free parts, door panels, led's for the instrument panel and a fan shroud.

In my short ownership the nicest thing I've been given for free so far has been a Tach Dash with all the gauges (minus speed warning.) I haven't decided yet whether or not I am going to use it yet though.
