Parts score!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just had to post this. In the last couple days I've had a nice parts score.

Went to a metal recycler and found a perfect & uncut 72 a/c dash, power brake booster/brackets/prop valve, cowl vent and a few small items.....they sell stuff by the pound, got it all for $8!!

Then found a complete running/driving 75 Chevy C10 with a 454, T400, a/c, power steering, power brakes for $600, made a depo, got to pick it up Tues.

Looks like a great day

I get lucky every now & then at this place. You never know what you'll find. The truck is a long fleet bed, found it online, so I'm not sure how much rust is on it. I will remove the engine/trans, and probably part the rest. Will post that later.

You should get most of your money back by parting it out. front bumper and guards, mirrors, wheels/tires, hub caps, maybe some glass, cruise control, PB booster and whatever the interior has to offer. Excellent score.
