Bought a parts truck on the cheap and the seller tells me he has a load of parts to throw in to sweeten the deal. Come to find out there all in GM wrappers with receipts from 1987. Soo happy now ....

You need to be a subscribing member to sell parts here.

If this turns into a sales thread it will be locked, just a heads up.

i looked for 10 years for a 57 GMC owners manual, ebay amazon, everywhere. never seen one in 10 years, never seen one , all I knew was that it was "the comic book" owners manual.

bought a 57 11 miles from home

sold by my girlfriends father in 1957

less than 350 vehicles apart from another one I own, also sold by the father. from the same dealership also in 57,

in its glove box was the origonal owners manual. comic book style and an even rarer "supplimental" 1957 type addednum manual never knew it existed. both of them in the glove box.

so yea, that kool factor is out there!

Most of it is still in unopened wrappers but It could be a possibility with the stuff that's not... I couldn't find any stamps on the grill surround. But then again it doesn't have a box

74baggedbug · 08-22-2015, 11:29 PM

I'd hang the grill surround in the garage

jondancer · 08-22-2015, 11:32 PM

I like that dash pad��

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 08-23-2015, 12:23 AM

WOW, very nice parts..........Don't know what you paid. Looks abouts $2,200 worth.

71Sleeper · 08-23-2015, 01:20 AM

Easy $2k worth of parts. Great find

FlameOut · 08-23-2015, 09:42 AM

Wow, nice score! I'm still waiting for my lucky break. Im usually on the losing end of any parts deal lol

**68350** · 08-23-2015, 10:35 AM

Probably for the dash pad. Too short for upper bed moldings. I can't tell what the black things are upper RH 1st picture. Maybe 1972 door handles.

Couldn't tell you. But if it's mint and OEM, this one has been listed a long while. It's probably worth about $850.

Here's an inner. I believe it's been listed a while as well. Seems $550 would be right.

Nice score there CheyenneSuper . I have been searching for 15 years for those pieces and finally have all trim needed to do a complete frame off restoration.
Way cool.
