Re: Your best junkyard find
I rebuild them, using the center moldings. The grilles themselves usually have broken tabs or cracked somewhere. Once in a blue moon, I can restore the original grille. I sell them on the parts forum & eBay. There's a link on my signature, at the bottom.

Re: Your best junkyard find
Found this GMC Grille & bench seat. I'm not sure of the year on the grille. It has the opening for the hood latch. The truck I got this stuff from, had a mixed bag of parts.

Re: Your best junkyard find
I was shopping for a D60 to replace the D44 in my K25, & found a beat up 1977 K35 cab chassis flatbed for $1200. Maybe not a great deal to most, since the oil pan had a hole in it, but the owner of the yard said he was scrapping the square sitting next to the truck I was buying & to take what I wanted minus the axles since they were sold.
Since I didn't have a way to lift it off, I wound up w/a th350/203 which was sitting on the flatbed, mint doors, complete with the correct door panels & keys, a mint dash pad & wood grained dash from the other truck that was being scrapped. The K35 needed a drivers side floor, & a bench seat, but the drivetrain was fine and both axles had just had brakes done. Now that I've installed a new engine, seat, & floor, & my K25 has a new dash pad & doors - I figure it was a pretty sweet deal.

Re: Your best junkyard find
I guess my best score was a 1970 Olds factory Ram Air hood for $80. Been a few years since I got it.

Re: Your best junkyard find
Nothing much for me, Usually these trucks are just Stripped or treated like **** in Michigan.
The only thing really special for me was a Like-new 6.2L Starter & Radiator from a Burb & Complete untouched LeMans Front Clip.

Taking the truck down to bare metal, so everything is everywhere. I used the gmc on the front grill, sorta shaved the tail gate.

Re: Your best junkyard find
Was that paint job already on that trim, or did you have that done? That is awesome looking!!
