I took waaaayyyy more pics than this, but my stupid camera deleted them after I took them. 
The only one it left was of this 85 F150, which coincidentally is the the truck I got my new bumper off of. What makes it even more weird, is that I almost bought this truck. The guy only wanted $1500, and it ran and drove. The body was straight and perfect on it. I had a picture the guy sent me of it, but I can't seem to find it. Anyways, I'm glad I didn't buy it because something went wrong with it for it end up here.
The truck had been repainted though, because the inner fenders are silver.

I like the all chrome grille on the front.

Actually, it was chrome/black. I thought about grabbing it, but I can do the same thing to my current grille with a $5 can of paint vs the $10 they'd want for the grille.

I absolutely hate that they do that. Usually, if you want suspension parts, you ask the front office clerks for assistance getting a vehicle onto the rack, that way you can pull the parts without having to crawl under the truck. However, sometimes the racks are full, or you may need an entire front solid axle, which would make you an idiot to try and remove the bolts from on a rack, so in cases like that, you have to pull parts from on the ground. When I had to get a new oil pan for the F100 after I got it, the racks were all full. Luckily the junkyard had a soft sand floor, so I jacked the truck up with my bottle jack, put it on stilts to support it, and then dug a deep bunker under the truck so I could have plenty of room to remove all the engine bolts.
The poor thing is, at 6 of those junkyards, the cars are all set on to rims, so they're high off the ground.

Went to a car show in Palouse, Washington over the weekend and saw these two trucks there.
These was a really nice stepside, love the turbines and the paint scheme.
This one was entered in the show and had QUITE the paint job.
