I haven't been able to find any 67-72 parts at salvage yards in 20 years! And any trucks still in the yard have been picked clean. Sad, because that's where I found all kinds of things back in the 90s, such as a power steering box, pump, brackets, and Pitman arm. Also a stabilizer bar, and even an instrument panel and gauges. Of course, that's when our trucks weren't anything special.
