found a rust free Beau James at the wrecking yard

I am out of town travelling g to junk yards. I came across an a blue GMC longbed with super nice Beau James \Gentleman Jim bed rails.I pulled these and the glide out spare tire carrier. Upon closer inspection it was silver and blue under the trim. It also had the brackets for the factory fog lights and a big block. Really a shame to see a solid rare truck like this at the wrecking yard. Looks like it has had a camper shell on it since new.

I actually got an extremely cool rare piece for myself but I won't have pictures until I get home. It is something I have been looking for a lot of years.

Noooow I am curious. Really curious in fact. The Beau James was sad, this is intriguing.
