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.
