Finally finished picking my parts off the 75 Beauville that was being scrapped somewhat locally. Column went to Mickey in CA, LOOKSLO got some parts, and I grabbed the bumpers (posted in my build thread I think), the rear pop-outs, and both bench seats (2nd is up for sale locally on FB). Seats both came with the belts, brackets, and bolts. Pop-outs came with all hardware and gaskets. Hinge screws were rusted in place, so the guy cut off the top parts of the doors and had everything ready and waiting when I got there. I'm just planning on using the seat so the kids have a place to ride until we get started on the rear interior.

That is so cool; dig the ashtrays on the arm rests. I'm so glad you scored so many pieces and that guy was more than fair. Those bumpers were a steal. chevy

Yes sir! Stoked because I already had a pair of pop-outs with black trim and these have the stainless or chrome trim. Going to take the pair and use the best parts to convert mine.

Getting real tired of this late winter weather. I'm ready to get the van shined up and hit the road. I'm making progress on getting the cruise control put back in. It'll be a bit of an experiment but I'm hopeful I can make it work.

Almost scored another van...
But the guy never answered my inquiries.

Probably sold by now anyway.

Not technically to my van, but I started stripping down the donor front clip I bought when I bought the QAR. I got most of the parts off of it, just have the heater core and a few little things, then I can get to work cutting the fenders off.

Made decent progress on the garage this week, so of course I needed to fill it up with more sh!# lol

I'll have more clip disassembly pics in my build thread and the "Chevy How To Dash" thread I've been working on.

Dude, as I suggested in your other post about this, go to a junkyard. You can check the inventory at the PYP yards in Chula Vista online but there's always more than what's listed.

Finally had some warmish weather to get out and mount some solar panels yesterday. Next up is cutting a big hole for a roof fan.
