That Dodge bumper looks pretty decent, for the right price it would be a good core for a rechrome. Wonder what attached to the bar below the bumper.

Nice score on those mudflaps. They should make for some killer garage art. Hopefully when all this crap blows over I can get back to my local yard and do some parts pickin'.

I tried to strip the Dodge grille today. It was held in by two stripped phillips screws. I couldn't do it.

I did find a cool '77 E150 that hit the lot yesterday.

I didn't take the glass or the CB. The CB was covered in shit and I couldn't guarantee it was going to work, there were no wires for it. I couldn't remove the glass without breaking it. I just took some interior handles for the van and a few small pieces that gave me some ideas.

There is a guy in my area who makes a living off of buying old CB's, scanners and other old electronics. He gets them working again and resells them.

Yeah, it was a really cool CB for sure. I may still go back for it this week for some interior lights out of a conversion van.

That's awesome. I bought mine from a guy in the area who does that. He bought out an old CB shop and uses his parts to restore and sell.

I may have more pics this week, there is a high top Chevy at another junkyard and a few late 80's Econolines at another. I have noticed that they're not updating their online inventory since all of this started. So I may come across a few more vans.

Awesome finds man. I could spend all day every day scouring scrap yards. Can't get enough of it. So much fun.

I went back to other day to pick up the CB and some jerk bent the Dodge grille on the mounting tabs and a few other spots before robbing the Dodge lettering. Kind of annoyed me that someone would do that.

Looking back on this thread, I still kick myself for not grabbing those Ford seats with the matching pullout bed.
