i've had several good finds, but i'll only post the ford-related ones here
for a ford 300-6, offy DP intake plus headers and carb. i still have a truck i could put it on, but probably never will. PM if you want it
for the van, tons of built-in toolboxes and cabinets, i should post pics one of these days
auxilary rear heat unit, came from a conversion van, now lives just behind the drivers seat against the wall. i had to trim some corners off its body to fit it between the toolboxes and the pillar, right along the outside wall
oh, and to top it all off, i found a way to keep my bolt bin overflowing
Picked up a never used Sprinter 3 person bench seat on Craigslist on the weekend for $60! It's going in the first row position as soon as I find floor brackets.
My 02 E-150 Solar Eclipse has some nice factory alum road wheels and I found a (NOS) set of center caps on eBay for $78.50. New Mich XL tires, caps and a good coat of wax there looking pretty good, but Crutchfield got me for six Kenwood speakers.... eBay counts as a junkyard.....LOL
I does indeed count---I dare say its one of the biggest, easiest to shop and sometimes not bad prices too. Of course there's a reason its nicknamed "fleabay"!
Speaking of the E-Series rear heater/AC units---I just bought a brand new, in the box unit, never used shipped to my front door for the staggering sum of $149! The one or two I've seen in scrap yards weren't worth removing!

Now just try to get your hands on the AC and Heater lines for that unit at a reasonable price

Oh yeah---already hip to that mess!
Actually I've fitted my existing van with an overhead mounted aftermarket heater so those lines are easily enough run and installed. The A/C lines will never be connected since my cargo needs only heat---its fine at summer temps.
If I were to run the rear A/C though I think I'd need a new compressor line set with tee fittings for those lines----not something I want to do at this point!
