Salvage yard searching

I went to the salvage yard yesterday. To my suprise there was close to 10 dents there.
I came away with a dash A/C vent tube for the far left vent and a bolt for my spare tire.


Here are some pictures of the dents I saw:







This is the truck I got the dash tube from


Camper special ranger lariet

slide out step

poor dent



These are all from Riverside Auto Salvage in Okc, Ok

Bed rails red/white truck, bottom of the brown cab steps, and the blue truck grill inserts $$. SC cab, cab part dent trim $$$, not reproduced anywhere. The mirrors on the white one, and a long list of that, that and that.

Definitely. too bad they move them with forklifts and stack them, they wreck a lot of usable body parts.

Would love to find some dents around here. Most everything got crushed during cash for clunkers. Anything left is mostly rust receptaces.

The top narrow strip has a small dent it looks like but the rest is really nice.

Bottom is missing or is nearby.

The thing I noticed with these trucks was that they really didn't have that bad of rust. Alot of good metal suprisingly.

Yes that is what I said, he already said "dibs" for his truck, since the PO cut the last set to work with a tool box.

I am working on a road trip that way, I have to get some EB (Early Bronco) parts from that neck of the woods anyway.

I am going back to this salvage yard this saturday. I already have a list of stuff to grab off these trucks.

Off of the brown camper special
Under dash lights
Glove box light
Ash tray light
Slide out steps

Bedrails off that white and red truck

Super cab trim

Mirrors off the white 4x4

Possibly good grille inserts

Assorted screws I am missing on my truck.

The brown CS has the locking hood release, is that something That would make sense to pull off to resale?

Do any of you see anything else that I should get off these trucks?

Just a tip:

Grab all the extra hardware you can (nuts, bolts, u-nuts, trim screws, plastic clips, etc.) and store them in a compartment box like the kind used for fishing tackle. It's a quick, convenient, and organized way to have just the right hardware at your disposal.

HF has some good, lo-buck options.
