Junkyard "Must Grab" Items

Post by Subzero »

I'm about to go hunt for a new 1990s F150 seat for my F100 at the junkyard to do my seat swap. While I'm there I might as well see what other things they have for bumpside trucks. What are some cool items that you've found for your trucks at the junkyard?
1972 F100 Sport Custom-2WD, Aqua Blue and Wimbleton White, LWB, 302 V8 and C4 trans, P/S, P/B - under construction

Gone but not forgotten: 1968 F100 Ranger- 2WD, LWB, original rebuilt 360 V8, Autolite 2bbl carb, C6 Trans, Hedman Headers, Powermaster Racing Starter, H-Pipe and Glasspacks, P/S, P/B, A/C

All the parts for our trucks are worth their weight in gold, my friend! But seriously, F600 gauge clusters are always cool to find. If you can find rust-free sheetmetal at a decent price-you could make some project money pretty easy. I think there was an old thread about this, but I can't post a link with my phone.

So, who needs narrow '71 longbed trim? :D I'm keeping the rear bumper (well the brackets anyway) for me.
