Junk Yard

Well im planning on going to the junk yard today and i hope to strike gold. Ill be looking for parts for the inside of my 73 F-350. I talk to a guy on the phone from the one that im going to and they said that they're getting in a 75 F-series truck later today and im going to have first pick on the parts from it. I cant wait. Im going to be like a fat kid in a candy store .

Nothing better than a good day picking. I swear, a good haul is like a little slice of Heaven on earth.

No good ones around here. I went to the place that was supposed to be my best hope of finding a few parts and all I was able to come back with was a new antenna. Hope you have better luck.

Well wasnt able to make it to the junk yard today. I called them this afternoon and they still havnt got in the 75 that im going to try and pull parts from, but they said that maybe they will be able to get it there tomarrow morning i guess they have been to busy to go and pick it up so im crossing my fingers for tomarrow. But on a brighter side I went to the local scrap yard trying to find sheet metal to make my own floor pans and walked away with a new headliner and inside door handles for my truck for 10 bucks, but couldnt find any sheet metal. So all I did today was install the headliner, door handles and replaced the door locks. I guess it was a pritty good day.
