Vannin' Home Forums General Discussion Van Sightings Some Junkyard Finds

Cool score

Looks like a nice one.

I went to the other one today where the Lincoln like mine was. I picked up some nice pieces for my car. They had a high top third gen Ford with an extended door slider. I ran out of time today before I had to go back to work. I may go back tomorrow for it and the interior pieces on the Lincoln I forgot about.

I’m running to a junkyard tomorrow morning. There’s 3-4 third Gen Econolines there and a few Chevys. One has a Venturi vent.

Sending you a PM

Youtuber "Adventures Made From Scratch" is a scrapper in Kansas, I noticed a 70-76 Chevy van in a video and commented and he says he has a whole stack of the early grilles for $200 a shot. Does that count as a junkyard find?

I would think so

I epoxied the base of the Venturi Vent and she is water tight now, at least down there. I'm not gonna take the waterproof tape off the top because it is stuck on really well. I don't care about the look because it is just a beater vent. I think I will throw it on the truck camper shell until I redo the paneling.

I found an '83 Chevy G20 in a local yard. It had a lot of nice stuff inside but reeks of cat pee. I took what I wanted from it but I don't think I will do it again because of how bad it is.

It has these sweet side windows on it.





It has a bunch of cool interior panels and dividers, but I couldn't spend more than a few minutes inside.

We're throwing away third gen vans out here like they grow on trees.





This makes me so mad. No rust, it is just missing its emissions components.



Has a 302 with the original carb. It might not sell and then it'll get tossed into the yard to be parted and then scrapped.
