Truck part bargain finds in unexpected places
What truck parts (or whole trucks, I guess), have you stumbled across at yard sales, auctions, antique shops, etc.? Basically a place where you wouldn't have expected to find them?
Here's a couple that I found recently: US 127 yard sale find - a set of fireman hat U01 marker lights for $3. 67 chrome hubcap found in an antique store for $18.50. Before and after chrome polish with 0000 steel wool.

Re: Truck part bargain finds in unexpected places
I found a GMC Square body tailgate at an antique mall for $40. No rust. Not perfect but at least an 8 out of 10.

Re: Truck part bargain finds in unexpected places
I found an original GM Cheyenne tailgate (woodgrain band and trim) in an antiques store for $125.00. Story was, it was removed for a slide-in camper when new. It is wheatland yellow/white. Best deal by far on anything that I have bought for my truck.

Re: Truck part bargain finds in unexpected places
I bought the steering wheel for my Burban from a Craigslist ad titled "Vintage Wall Art $40" it was the only item in the ad. The lady had had the steering wheel hanging in her art gallery for 20 some years and was updating her gallery and no longer needed the wheel much to my enjoyment. A crack free wheel with a GMC horn button.
