they put in a scrap yard to buy scrap metal at the mouth of the hollow where I live and you would not believe ! what the 67 to 72 part's people crush ! I was coming home friday and DAM ! a guy was pulling across the scale with a 1969 CST front clip hood fender's grille radiator support and all , had door's fender's all kinds of stuff ! I bought everything he had then ,,,,,
THE GUY SAID HE HAD A OLD BUILDING FULL OF MORE PART'S ! sooooooo I went to his house and bought EVERY 67 to 72 part he had ! HE WAS GONNA CRUSH ALL THESE PART'S !!! it's just hard to believe ,,, oh and NONE OF THIS STUFF IS FOR SALE so don't ask ,,, just amazed that this day and time people will still crush these part's like they are worthless !

Re: people crushing 1967 to 1972 truck part's ! CRAZY !
what would be wrong with someone to crush a part that people need for these classic truck's ? I mean companie's spend money on top of money to reproduce these part's cause they are hard to find ? and then someone will crush them ? I DON'T GET IT !

Re: people crushing 1967 to 1972 truck part's ! CRAZY !
It must be a geographical thing. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't panic if I saw that because there would be 10-15 trucks just down the road. I love seeing the threads "should I buy it". It's amazing what trucks will fetch in different parts of the country. I live in the dry belt where rust isn't a big deal and parts are not hard to find.

Re: people crushing 1967 to 1972 truck part's ! CRAZY !
I don't care where you live,it's just plum ignorant to scrap a useful thing no matter what it is. There are intelligent people who live where rust isn't an issue who make good money selling parts to those in places where rust is a concern. I just bought a pair of rust free '67 doors for a price combined with shipping for what one Taiwan door that doesn't fit costs and would also have to be shipped. I've bought every part to build my '67 either from people who haul parts to eastern swap meets or had them shipped here from out west,after buying them from the parts board on this site.
I can get $.60 a pound for a roll of aluminum trim coil stock at the scrap yard,which probably adds up to about $20. It's worth about $100 as a building material that you can make $500 labor off of by fabricating and installing trim. But,people steal it and scrap it anyway. I don't know,it just seems stupid to me.

Re: people crushing 1967 to 1972 truck part's ! CRAZY !
i've sent quite a few trips to the crusher// i've bought parts trucks got the parts i've needed(in my eyes the truck paid for itself) then for a month or two advertise whats left and two swapmeets for an extra bonus// after that i had no interest in long term storage for parts of common readily available trucks like these so i cleaned house and the stuff goes// i never had lots of storag space and by keeping clean yards i had no neighbor or zoning problems

Re: people crushing 1967 to 1972 truck part's ! CRAZY !
You have spare parts, you put em up for sale at a reasonable price, you add shipping, the part isn't reasonable any more. So the person wants the part for less because shipping is so high. So instead you sell parts, but no shipping. People look at parts and start nit picking little things to get you to drop your already reasonable price so they can get the "deal". Pretty soon its not fun anymore. So you put your decent usable parts in with the crappy scrap parts and haul it all away, no muss no fuss.

Re: people crushing 1967 to 1972 truck part's ! CRAZY !
One mans trash is another mans treasure. It makes me sick to see certain vehicles at wrecking yards 67-72's included. The truth is we can't save them all but to our benefit parts are still plentiful.

Re: people crushing 1967 to 1972 truck part's ! CRAZY !
I think buying an OEM rust free door (with hinges) for $100 and paying $80 to ship it 3,000 miles to a place where rust free doors rarely exist is a bargain. I think buying an OEM rust free fender for $75 and paying $75 for shipping is a bargain. I know that's way more than you get for scrap,too.

Re: people crushing 1967 to 1972 truck part's ! CRAZY !
I parted a 69 corvette and a 66 GTO on ebay. The shipping was a pain but my point is that it all went to rusty areas back East. Hardly any West Coast sales. One thing that is cool about smaller parts is that UPS and FEDEX will deliver down any small road, 100 miles off the beaten path. Shipping becomes a worth while thing all of the sudden. Some of us are just spoiled.

Re: people crushing 1967 to 1972 truck part's ! CRAZY !
I've also given up on selling excess parts, it's become too much of a hassle. I now "pay it forward" and offer the stuff for free if they wanna come out and haul my leftovers away! Occassionally an enthuiast will end up with the parts, but more often than not it's some tweeker scrappy that gets 'em....se' la vie.

Bodies don't rust in some places,but they dent don't they. Aren't there fender benders and mishaps out there? My '72 GMC isn't rusty,since I bought it out of Modesto. But,I did have someone back into one of my pristine front fenders and will be replacing it. So,I paid good money for a near N.O.S. condition GMC/68 Chevy fender out of WYO from Sharpie. The west coast probably has as many (or more) reproduction parts vendors as the rest of the country combined. Locals buy that stuff while others across town scrap good OEM. And,those vendors sell and "ship" repro all over the country...go figure. When a truck gets crushed it's not just rust free parts that are lost. Things like seat belts and countless other "desirable" parts survive just as well in all parts of the country and are getting crushed along with everything else. And,all so someone can get pennies on a dollar or because selling things is a hassle. What a shame.
