Junkyard finds
I went to the junkyard yesterday and I found my tailgate panel I have been looking for, the chome trime around the headrest a trailer hitch and a chrome headlight door. I didn't really need the headlight door I just picked it up because you don't see to many of them around anymore. here is a pic of the stuff I got. I will post up some more pics once I get everything cleaned up and installed.

Nice headliner trim! When I got my truck the chrome trim was all rusty (it lived at the beach) but the rest of the truck is basically rust free. I took triple 0 steel wool to it and it shines real nice like yours does. Congratulations on your finds!
