In the 67 I had these were in the interior;

An umbrella
A old whisky flask (old old)
A life preserver
200 some packs of malbaro reds
bloody bandaids
ice scrappers (like 6)
paint rollers and the can of paint used to paint the truck (yup they rolled it on)
random parts belonging to the truck that really should have been installed (like the air cleaner)
gaskets new in package that were so old worms were in the cork
random paint-stained cloths
rolling papers

thats about all I can think of.

Radiatta_71 · 01-05-2004, 01:21 PM

lots of fish hooks, still finding them.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 01-05-2004, 01:27 PM

The last 67 parts truck I got had at last count 19 hyperdermic needles!! I was finding them everwhere, in the glove box, under the seat, in the seat, in the bed, under the bed, in the frame rails and on the trailer when I brought it home...

Needless to say I am extreemly carefull when I do anything with that truck!!

My truck was used by a lady who had a hobby fram with lots af different animals. Well you may have guessed thay were all her pets and they regularly rode up front with her. Its amazing how well those little goat pellets can hide, I found them everywhere inside.

**68Custom** · 01-05-2004, 03:07 PM

In my '68 I found mostly change that was dropped all over the floor. I also found i had no cables to my heater controls. Thats about all i can think of.

Odd is a relative term Tim. Just tell us what you've found.

Steven Sellers · 01-05-2004, 07:14 PM

Man all Ive found so far is 2 penneys and that thing that I posted a couple of days ago

shuttermutt · 01-05-2004, 07:48 PM

Not much of a surprise here. I found an ashtray full of cigar butts, 3 or 4 ice scrapers, lug nuts (

), a pencil, the build sheet (under the seat), a radiator cap, a 1967 Chevy owner's manual, an insurance card from 3 years prior, and loose change.
