Wonder what attached to the bar below the bumper. | | | Re: Some Junkyard Finds | Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 2,290 Likes: 137 veteran | veteran Joined: Jan 2014 Posts: 2,290 Likes: 137 | 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'. | | | Re: Some Junkyard Finds | Joined: Sep 2019 Posts: 1,510 Likes: 172 Master Yard Rat | Master Yard Rat Joined: Sep 2019 Posts: 1,510 Likes: 172 | 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.

He gets them working again and resells them. | | | Re: Some Junkyard Finds | Joined: Sep 2019 Posts: 1,510 Likes: 172 Master Yard Rat | Master Yard Rat Joined: Sep 2019 Posts: 1,510 Likes: 172 | 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. 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. 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.

I could spend all day every day scouring scrap yards. Can't get enough of it. So much fun. | | | Re: Some Junkyard Finds | Joined: Sep 2019 Posts: 1,510 Likes: 172 Master Yard Rat | Master Yard Rat Joined: Sep 2019 Posts: 1,510 Likes: 172 | 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.
