Re: sad things you see in the junk yard

god somebody just bring one of them short beds to me, I'll keep her and fix her up good and right. I'd love to have one just can't afford one around here. I'd take a long bed and then turn it into a short bed if it was free and saving one from the scrap heap.

Re: sad things you see in the junk yard

Here is my sad pic. It's an 85. Only 500 made that year. I tried to buy the cab and bed for 3 weeks, with no luck. It was like my money wasn't worth the little bit of help I needed from them? Anyway......the truck was crushed and is gone forever! Oh, I picked up another 85 about a year later in much better shape. Look for a build thread on it soon

they are really popular and expensive here

Conversion vans are the most common vans here like Starcraft or Transcar 2000 but half of the owners dont know what they have.

those are highly popular here along with the 80s Caprices and Impalers
but people dont run euro tail lights or Lexus Lights as they are know here.

Damn I was hoping. Parts for the wagon are hard enough to find here! Of course all the old iron around here has been crushed long ago.

Re: sad things you see in the junk yard
