Rare rear cab trim found in junkyard - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I found this Today in a junkyard.... They are auctioning off all of the old cars before the crusher comes in and mashes what is left. I will post what it brings and if I am able to buy it.

some parts to get if you can't buy the whole thing:

the vent shades on the door glass

the doors

the radiator shroud

the emblems

the hood

interior parts like the glove box door and the little bitty things like knobs

good luck,

Your a lucky guy if you get it, look for the dispatch/ glovebox light. Man I'd love to have that molding across the back of my truck. It finishes off the two tone nicely.

Best of luck to you, Sig! I'll say a prayer for ya.

Thanks, decided not to be greedy, I only have 64-66 trucks, So I decided to tell my buuddy of 25 plus years about it too. He is building a 61 4x4 all original. He wants to change over to V8 from 6 and wants everything I dont. So we are going together, hopefully no one will have deeper pockets than both of us combined. The Auction is 10 am tomorrow. Rumor is anything over $300.00 crusher price will buy the vehicles.

I will let ya know, it looks like some kind of clip holds the long skinny piece on the back of the cab.

WOW the body looks to be in real good shape! , considering the grass growing thru it...
I'd bid on it! (a little far from me though) ... hopefullly somebody can save this one. ..
....it's weird sometimes i just want to buy and save them all!

**aerotruk63** · 10-22-2011, 06:49 AM

....it's weird sometimes i just want to buy and save them all!

I agree with that statement, breaks my heart to see all the trucks on Craigslist up for sale so cheap!

sigshooter · 10-22-2011, 04:39 PM

Well..... I regret to inform you I did not get the truck bought. After we finally got the doors opens and inspected everything closely we found quite abit of rust, there was not much on the 1960 i could use on my 1965 so I was limited on how much I was willing to spend since all I waanted was the cab trim. We Bid the truck up to $475.00 and quit.

The GOOD news is as soon as the auction was done on this truck I grabbed the winner and asked him if he would sell any of it, he said yes and sold me the cab trim for $65.00 ! I immediately paid him and while I was pulling it off someone else was telling him how rare and expensive it was. He kinda acted pissed but I had already paid him so he didn't say much.

My Buddy ended up buying a very nice complete 1963 LWB for $400.00 at the very end of the auction that was ascross the road, most people didn't know they were going to sell anything from over there. Was a good day for hunting parts

**aerotruk63** · 10-22-2011, 04:56 PM

That's a funny story! Great luck on the moldings and sails $65, geash! How much did the guy pay for the truck in the end?

**ChiefRocka** · 10-22-2011, 04:58 PM

.... so will you be selling it to me, now ??

$475.00 was the winning bid on the 1960, turned out the best for me in the end...... I only had to give $65.00 for what I needed and didn't have to move the rest of the truck.

They were "assisting" with loading with a forklift, they ended up dropping the truck and messing up the chrome grille, and hood.....lol

I might not even put it on one of my trucks, but I had to buy it since they are so hard to find...... and for the $65.00 price I can afford to keep it until I do decide what to do.

**aerotruk63** · 10-22-2011, 05:50 PM

So it's been awhile, why not sell them now that you've decided to sell. Take the profit and buy something you need now! They could get damaged. Besides there not for your year! Dibs! LOL

markeb01 · 10-22-2011, 06:17 PM

Congrats on the purchase. Not very often that trim changes hands for $65 anymore!

Woogeroo · 10-23-2011, 01:35 AM

woo hoo!

Score... act fast and show cash works wonders!
