found: '83 showed up in local junkyard


Recommended Posts

It has the factory underhood tool box. It might be worth it for you to pick it up and resell if it isn't all broken up.

Yes, Shaun! Well spotted. Those things are going for a lot of money if everything is there. But all of the brackets need to come with it, and preferably all of the fasteners.

What about the push bar?

Thats a GoRhino step guard. Looks like at least 1 hit in the center bottom step but these are repairable. Heeaavy.

Did not know about the boxes. Might actually go down there myself for that. About 80 miles away. Preferable on motorcycle. Hate not saving those step guards though. Fostered many of those rescues until they found their forever homes.

If something else is wanted from it, mention. Figure you lot must be desperate for parts if there's 39 replies to a wtb for a parking switch. The prices are found on LKQ.

Someone beat me to it. Got the box, the lights, the intake, the winch, the running boards and more. Fast.

Got the step guard. Bit rough but fixed these before.

When one of these trucks show up at a local yard where I live, it is carnage. Like a wake of vultures! If I go there 2 days too late all I can find is nuts and bolts on the ground.

That's a bummer! But these trucks are getting both sought after and hard to find, so people may have an agreement with the salvages to get first dibs.

If in decent shape, the bumpers are desirable.

Chain junkyards (and those independents that run like them) rarely keep vehicles longer than a few months. I bought a color-matched hood, header panel, and grille for my DD Ranger so I could swap back from the 2005 front fascia to the original 2003 fascia. The truck was released into the yard two days before I bought the parts. Within two months, the truck was gone. No way did it get fully parted out by then, they just rotate vehicles often.

I have learned that I have to be a vulture if I want the good stuff from that yard, as it may not make it to the next time I can get out there. The same likely applied to this truck as well. Somebody knew what it was, and they got what they wanted.
