Decent Flares and Tailgate near Sacramento

I signed up on these forums a little while ago to find information about my recently acquired 85 f250. Anyways while looking around the Antelope Pick-N-Pull I saw a decent looking flareside. I don't know if anybody in the area would be interested, but here are some pictures I took with my phone:

That bed and tailgate are worth anywhere from $500-$600 or more. I would at least grab that tailgate if I were you. Storing the bed might be a problem for you, but if not you could make some money on it if the price was right. That is of course if you weren't going to use it on your own truck.

I know where there is the correct factory bumper for one too. I'll have to check and see if it's still there and how much they want for it.

IIRC it was chrome and in pretty nice shape.

My pick-N-pull here in Viginia Beach, Va; they usually have a certain truck for a certain time, So I would say hurry up. Plus they (here) are the cheapest place to buy from.

WHEW! ok i got the passenger side fender!! i would have loved to have grabbed the tailgate but i ran out of time. (It looked perfect! It's a shame i didnt have time.)

Drove up to the JY after some commitments here in town so didnt get there til 4:45 and they closed at 6. I just got the fender off as they were making the "we're closing now" rounds with the bullhorn. Had a little panic attack at 10 til closing that I wouldnt be able to get it off in time and would have to walk away. Since it's about 2 hours away from me, I'll be letting some other lucky person make that jackpot tailgate find. But just getting the fender makes me feel like it's christmas! THANKS for the heads up <b>Ecks0117</b>!

At least you got what you needed and that's all that really matters. What did they charge you if you don't mind me asking?

BTW: You only need to take 2 bolts off of the one side (bottom hinge) of the tailgate and it slips right out.

Your temporary screen name should now be:

good to know on that tailgate. i might swing by that yard again next time i'm up visiting my folks just to see if it's still there by any chance. It was a good yard for our model trucks so it will be worth another visit regardless.

Got the fender for $60...california prices!

One little thing i forgot to check for though was the fuse box cover. The radio was gone or i woulda grabbed it for you <b>stosh</b>. They had that weird aftermarket roofliner thing with the speakers built in so the missing radio probably wasnt original anyhow.

Girl with a fender off to clean seatbelts!!

No, I have posted about stuff I find out there. There was a 54 f100 out there, but when they reshuffled last month it disappeared. Me and you have the same Join Date.
