Junkyard score...
My buddy and I decided to sneak away from work for a bit to see what's new at the local scrapyard. There was a lot of new inventory...there was a couple of 78's and a 79. One of the 78's had a cherry chrome front bumper...I picked it up for $20!
 The '79 was a 3/4 ton Camper Special...It had a factory tach gauge cluster-My bro-in-law picked it up for like $15, along with some parts for his '67...Some good parts for cheap...and it was a nice break from work...

Re: Junkyard score...
I'm lucky there isn't a junk yard closer to my work...I would lose my job. Those are some serious scores! Those tach clusters are worth some coin, he could sell it for 5 times what he paid.

Re: Junkyard score...
I forgot to mention, I also picked up an HEI distributor, complete with coil, cap rotor and even some decent spark plug wires for $25 for my stepson's '63 Chevy Shortbed frame-off rebuild... With the help of his uncles, he got the motor and tranny set in the rolling chassis... dropped that HEI in and got to hear in run for a few seconds...with carb cleaner for fuel and a battery direct to the coil...He's been on spring break and he worked on his truck all week... they came a long way! I'm proud of him...
