Parts Picture Thread - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**special-K** · 05-25-2011, 07:57 AM

I love these trucks. I like them in all forms,from pristine restored to tarnished survivor and whole,partial,and even all the bits and pieces. Gathering parts seems to go with owning these trucks. I think most of us have some sort of stash. Some are planned for the one we drive,some are left over from former trucks,some are just because they look cool or it feels good just knowing you found it. I feel most parts are just nice to look at. I love seeing parts in the for sale section,at swap meets,laying around someone's garage (especially mine),hanging on a wall,digging through boxes...anywhere. So lets post up pictures of parts,new,valuable,almost turned to dirt,common/rare,artistic,have/had,as jewelry...whatever. I just think it could be a fun thread. Just don't turn it into a "Hey,I wanna buy that" thread.
I'll start:

I will try and get pictures. My basement if full. Bucket seats, dash clusters, steering columns, brake boosters, rally wheels, wiring harness, lights and stuff I have forgot I even have.... good idea.

Hey, I wanna buy that....

.. Just kidding.

I don't have any parts for these trucks. Maybe I should start saving some stuff...

So you're one of those,eh? What's it like to own these things and not have any spares laying around? Sure makes for a tidy place I'm sure. When I built a screened picnic house I figured in an attic just for parts. Trying to keep my place tidy takes some effort. The only thing not stored in is my axle/trans/transfer case stash. That's all piled on a little 4 x 8 utility trailer under a tarp stuck under a Colorado Blue Spruce next to the rack I built to hold my scaffold and ladders out by the shop. That's my dog patch area.
Here's over the picnic house:

Sweet I too am interested in seeing how this thread grows. Neat thought. Ok lets see the parts...

Tim, I do believe your a hoarder...albeit a very neat one by the looks of that loft. I've managed to accumulate my fair share of Truck parts as well, usually when I buy replacement parts I'm left with the old part and I haven't the heart to toss it as they are inevitably the original piece from new, & a few things i've bought in error...which I must get round to posting up for those tat want them, even got a few Buick Riviera bits too.

I guess I will have to see if I can find my way to the barn tomorrow... If I don't return you will know I'm lost in there somewhere...

Ha ha...it's fun to sit amongst our friends,the parts. Like Eightbanger said,it's hard to let any go. You may need it.someone else may need it,you may want to change it back,and it never did anything to hurt anyone...heheh.
I have a hard time deleting pictures of parts. That's where the idea for this thread came from. I have a folder for parts pictures when I sold them and realized I just like looking at them. The parts I sold are gone and now all I have are the pictures to look at. When we go to sell parts,people just gotta have pictures. Sure,we need to see the condition,but it seems to me many just want to look at the pictures.Cuz I've shown some pictures of some darn nice parts,upon request,and those people didn't buy

If you have pictures,show them. If you don't,go take some pictures. Mint rare to common at 1/2 buried in the ground. A single part to a collection. Yours,ones you saw at swap meets,Ebay...whatever.

Sammy · 05-27-2011, 08:38 AM

I was getting ready to SAY BS to LocDoc's reply about being part less, now maybe what is needed is a call to 911 for a rescue.

Yeah Leon!
I think he just wanted to appear nonchalant about the whole thing...like, what me, keep parts?...nah!

My garage full-O-parts

My downstairs (tri-level)

Here are about 10% of my parts on the way back from charlotte (after selling parts)

An ultra rare speedwarning tach vac dash I just sold

An album of recent and current parts I have:

and about 300 more parts I've had and sold already

Now that's a man cave full of booty VA

**too much stuff** · 05-27-2011, 08:29 PM

Hmmmm... couple teasers...

VA72C10 · 05-27-2011, 08:32 PM

Cool! Love the tow hook row

Sammy · 05-27-2011, 08:58 PM

Good thing I'm a honest person. Otherwise I would be hounding some folks for their current address and what days they will not be home. I see some mighty fine collections. I looked in my man-cave and there isn't a corner with a clean spot for all the parts I've decided was too difficult to really part with. I guess it's a sickness similar to the swine flu. Just help me I'm a sick person.. point me to the next swap meet for a deal I can't pass up.

bcutt · 05-27-2011, 09:02 PM

Here is the beginning of my parts collection, of course they all belong to the same truck but I imagine that is how we all got started

My buildings aren't visible on Google Earth or Streetscape. Then,there's the 280# inbred behind my place I keep happy with cases or orange soda,pickled pigs feet,and ammo

OK, I made it back out of the barn. (I only got lost twice)...

.. I was busier than a one legged man in a butt kickin' contest today but I got a few pictures snapped. I can't afford all of them new parts like you guys so I have to go to the salvage yards and scrounge all of the old junk parts to use. Here's a couple of pics.

LockDoc

**LockDoc** · 05-27-2011, 10:55 PM

Couple more

**LockDoc** · 05-27-2011, 10:57 PM

More

**LockDoc** · 05-27-2011, 10:59 PM

Oh, I found some more stuff...

**LockDoc** · 05-27-2011, 11:01 PM

Oh well.

**LockDoc** · 05-27-2011, 11:02 PM

I'm getting tired... I hope I didn't forget anything.

Edit: Well, I forgot the parts in the big building but I will have to do that later....
