Junkyard find

[FJBen]

Was at the local pic'n'pull and I found a piggie. (a 45lv too but I put that in the 45 section) She's a bit rusted out and picked over but a few good parts. Looks to be a 79 with the rear lights in good shape. The PS rear is cracked. The rear axle is still on, rear springs, glass, a few good parts left.

Nice find. I see several parts on my needs list. Any chance you'll be making a return visit?

It has the mythical bench seat head rests which top my list.

Let me know.

Thanks,

If everyone is interested in parts, I may be able to go out and pickup a few things if they are in good shape in easy. it wasn't my intention to try an sell/part as I don't even own a 55 anymore not too mention how busy i am, but if enough interest is there, I might be able to do something.

I'd be interested in the carb coolling fan relay, head rests and seat belts if they were in decent shape - and if it's not too much of a hassle.

If you need a bench with head rests, we have one here at the shop, it needs to be redone, the head rests are in good shape!!

Howdy! I always thought all the exclusive rear end parts were like hen's teeth. Tail lights, tail gate, weather stipping. That complete rear bumper looks like it might salvage pretty easy. Rear window motor, hood, mirrors, window regulators, dash parts. I'd talk to the yard man about stripping it for a few bucks. Even the readiator and front bumper have some value. John

Front seatbelts

Bummer -- from here that looks like a really good roof, pillars, and hood. My Pig B could use the roof and passenger side B pillar if I ever revive it, but I can't see how to cost effectively transport a roof.

Sounds like I've got enough interest in some parts. I won't be able to go pull anything until saturday. So unless someone comes in before me to grab them I can try and make a list of what people want.

I'm a little leery as this was a big pain parting my old 55 in my garage...so parting it at the yard could be even more fun.

If I was closer I'd be there. Is this one of the yards that charges by the wheel barrow load?

 

[FJBen]

Nope, they have a parts list they sometimes follow. It's a set price on parts.

parts are disappearing. I just went back out to look again. The headrests are already gone. No inner door panels/handles, no radiator

there are very few cruiserheads in greeley...and I basically know them all. Somones definitely getting some goods though.

I sent my dad out there to get some parts.
Lets see what he got.
If he grabbed anything he dont need I will post it on here for you guys.

I was thinking thats the only 55 in Greeley that I know of Not a bad score

I'm looking for the inner door panels. I'm interested in the vinyl condition, if the wood is cracked or broken or water logged I don't care so long as the vinyl is OK. Also the cargo area mat.

Dibs on the tailgate! If you cant get it for me do you have a ph# for the yard? Pretty please

 

[cruiserbrett]

you mean dibs on the 2/3 of a tailgate? Seems like it would be alot of work to fix that one???

Well, if we are going there then: Seat belts and cargo panels.

actually only need the top third.. but ya!

plus all the weatherstrip-top part too! purdy please

 

[Ming89FJ62]

Hey damn it - I called dibs on the seat belts first! LOL

Seat belts (front and back) along with the carb cooling fan relay. I'll add the gauge cluster too it it's still there.

It's a feeding frenzy on the poor pig carcass.
