I've been collecting parts I needed for the past 4 years. Somethings I needed and some things I didn't. 3 years ago I destroyed my transfer case. After a few unsuccessful attempts at having a used one shipped to me I found someone local that had one for sale. It was 4 hours away but the trip turned out to be more of an experience than anything else. I met this guy at his house where he proceeded to show me all his cruisers he had collected. Then we went into his basement where he had shelves loaded with cruiser parts. It was like a dream come true. He had bought and parted cruiser through the years and just put all the parts neatly on the shelves. After talking with him I was on my way. I always wanted a collection like that.
Fast forward to this summer when to my surprise he had the entire collection up for sale on MUD. If I would have had the money then I would have bought it then. I knew what he had. I was waiting for a buyer to come forward any day. A month ago he posted again and had dropped the price in half. I told my wife I needed this and within a couple hr of his thread I had bought it.
Today I finally had the time to go get it. I brought my wifes Pacifica and my 4x8 trailer to get it all. I didn't bring the 80 because with 220k I didn't think it would like me much. Thinking there would be plenty of room. I was wrong. I ended up filling my wifes car all the way to the headliner and the trailer with about 1500lbs in parts. I'll try to go through and document the hoard.
I'll be honest. I cannot keep it all to myself and will probably restore many of the parts and sell them. If Steve or Woody feels like this pimping my s*** please move it to chat. There will be some tech though as I go through everything trying to figure out what year goes with what. And documenting what are the best ways to restore the parts.
Tomorrow I'll be going through everything in the warehouse and laying it all out. There is a lot of stuff.
This was just two boxes.
I have never seen these switches. What are they for?

...... the unknown switches could be for additional lights; remember similar on a LC overseas in the late 60s early 70s that had rear lights for working; kinda like fogs but up at the corners; never seen any here in the USA;
