Well, I just got back from another local yard and it was WELL worth my time. You guys are REALLY gonna hate me now.....

 

I sent a PM...

 

A little dusty, but no cracks or scratches in the dash pads. I've been looking in the yards for nearly a year now, and I haven't found one good dash pad. Today, I got lucky and found two!

Found a couple of clocks and a couple more intermittent wiper delays along with some original Bronco owner's manuals.

Also found a 77-79 tailgate in mint condition, and an 8 lug Dana 44 from the same truck that'll be going in my truck as soon as it gets a little warmer out.

Also found a really nice tan carpet for my truck yesterday at another yard. It too was in real nice shape. I stopped at my friend's shop on the way home from the yard and ran his steam cleaner/extractor on it. Put it down by the furnace last night and I was surprised on how clean it came.

 

PM'd you back....

 

I love these threads-I went last friday and did pretty good myself. I wish I would have found that blue dash pad though, I need one. What did they charge for all that?

Myself, well I got 2 fairly nice weatherstrip pieces, the one that goes all the way around the door opening, $5 apiece, couple of door strikers, miscellaneous tools left in cars, a distributor with almost zero wear, $22, center radio dash piece, $5, 2 eddie bauer bronco seats and the console in great shape, $83 then sold them that night for $100.

Then again, I am the sort of guy that could just root through all the cars all day, enough if I don't find anything I want.

 

Well, I just got done cleaning them up and the blue one has 2 hairline cracks and a small bump from the instrument cluster screw, but the red one is mint. Only one tiny split at the defroster screw.

Sorry about the blurry pics, I should have used the flash.

 

You wouldn't want to sell that red one would you? That's about all I need for my interior!

 

Actually, they're both for sale but can't discuss it in this forum. I don't need them for my truck.

All I need to do is put my carpeting in and one of my newly aquired tilt columns. Hopefully it'll be tomorrow if we don't get too much snow!

 

Wow- that interior is nice! My favorite color interior too. I think that would look awesone with the black composite floor that alot of those trucks came with! Was that blue dash dry in the pic or stained?

 

Thanks, that's my favorite color too. That's why I went with it. I got nearly all of that stuff for free. I only had to find a couple of odds and ends. I'm putting a factory carpet in it for now. I found a really nice one in the yard the other day and my friend let me use his extractor to clean it. I'll be putting in a thick tan eurethane once it warms up. I already have it - 2 as a matter of fact. They sent me 2 by mistake

The blue one is not stained. I believe it was painted (properly I might add cause it's not coming off too easy). That's the original color coming through. It's not flaking or peeling anywhere like they usually do when they are painted poorly.

It's just wearing though because of the scrubbing that I gave it.

The blue one would be a good candidate for re-painting.

 

Ok thats the EXACT color interior I have! Now at least I know what the color is called. I would be very interested in the door panels and anything else you may have but I know they can't be talked about in the threads. For some reason I can't pm anyone. What can I do?

 

Welcome to FTE.

You need to have a certain amount of posts to be able to pm.

 

how many posts do I have to have?

 

I think its 25

 

Is the second one for sale?
