There are NOS running boards, complete bed nos, rear fenders nos and boxes of nos parts
The bed had been cut for a tub job and so I sold the bed sides but kept the front, tail gate, and cross members

Nice score.
Having recently stumbled through some of the Little Dearborn stockroom a couple of times, remarkable NOS finds are there to be discovered. Others are far more experienced than me, but I would contend that there are jewels hidden amid the dross of parts hoards in more places than might be suspected. The challenge for most are to extract this stuff from the current owners - people who are better at gathering and holding than organizing and selling - is getting to a realistic buy price. The hoarders are often more afraid of somehow leaving a nickle on the table than they are interesting in getting $100 into their pockets. Then their heirs, frozen by ignorance and bound by the insistance of the dead, assume vigil over the oxidizing empire. Unless reason or other events intervene, the parts simply wait, unused while the number of potential buyers dwindles.
I'm glad that there are folks like Bigwin to root out stashes. They are on a very worthy mission.
