63ChevC10 · 10-19-2012, 08:31 PM

ha! Nice way to carry the hood. I'd have done the same thing! There seems to be a little bit of everything out there. I'd like to go out there myself.

theastronaut · 10-19-2012, 08:36 PM

I wish there were yards like that around here!!

McCoyAZ · 10-19-2012, 09:12 PM

That is a 60 hood

how much did it cost you if you dont mind saying?

markeb01 · 10-19-2012, 09:25 PM

Wow, what an assortment, and a fair amount of GMC’s too. Thanks for sharing the photos for all the rest of us that can only dream about junkyards with that much stuff. That hood looks great, just a bunch of peeling paint to deal with.

Twiztid_66c10 · 10-19-2012, 09:28 PM

Got hood and fender for $140 there also seems to be like 3 other trucks didn't get pics of one was only a cab

can't wait to see the photo of the box strapped to the top of your car!

perro13 · 10-20-2012, 11:29 AM

Looks like the Suburban has or had the deluxe trim, I see the windshield trim not sure on side trim though.

dwntwn · 10-20-2012, 11:48 AM

Awesome photos, the hood strapped to the roof made my day!
