What are the clues? After thinking about it I realize that it couldn't be a 72 because of the cab mounted rear view mirror, anything else?

71 was the only year that had a raised mounting pad for the rear view mirror.

Can't believe my luck. The inside of the cab roof is actually pretty nice, I am going to figure out a way to use the whole thing, not just the roof skin.

Whats the rims on the car in the back ground ??

Those are c4 enkei wheels with whitewalls on a 48 businessman’s coupe. Not mine, belongs to a friend.

The car you called a Packard Clipper is a 1941 Cadillac. I would love to have been there with you on that one. Lots on that car I would have liked to have.

Well I stand corrected, of course! Pretty cool car, wonder how it ended up there.

Use to go to the junk yards often in my younger days and thought I would go to the only one left in my area and look for some mirrors for the 89 the other day they wanted $5 bucks just to enter the yard

Hmmm, pay $5.00 for the privilege of spending more $$ with them? Let me think on that one......very doubtful unless it is a real honey hole of vintage cars and trucks.

Its a buck or two where I go also.

It's partly for insurance reasons - you sign a waiver when you pay a dollar - and frankly it also covers the pilfering.

Me, I follow the Law of the Junkyard.

I never thought of bringing a drink with me but I might.

One time, many years ago, when I went with a neighbor to pick up a trans to rebuild, I signed in as "P. Diddly". My neighbor was laughing so hard that I thought we were going to get kicked out.

[dagnabbitt]

I always sign is as David Watermelon, a schoolyard taunt based upon my real name.

Junkyards are still cool, I could spend all day at one.

Recognized that 63ish red chevy dually with the brown and cream chevy van behind it that in the pick your part in the west end. There is a 79 camero there that has a posi in it.
