went to pick a part today. found this stuff for $130. I heard they were having a 50% off everything sale on DECEMBER 31

Forgot pictures

Went to both Berrie's U Pull it and Pull A Part looking for a set or rally wheels this week, well better luck next time. I did find a set of gauges that seem to be okay for 30.00

1968aj · 12-21-2014, 04:46 PM

I saw lots of rally wheels . going back next week for more. hope I can make these seats work in my 70. I think they came out of a Saturn. I will get them recovered if they fit

flashed · 12-21-2014, 06:23 PM

It looks like a pretty good score ,ours are always picked clean but they are also too far away from me to go very often.

HeavyD · 12-21-2014, 11:05 PM

Cool find. Next time you go any chance you could take a few pics? Be interesting to see what is in the yard.

1968aj · 12-21-2014, 11:38 PM

I could do that but its mostly late model stuff. oldest truck was a late 80s suburban. found a pile of rally wheels . looked like 3 or 4 different sizes

HeavyD · 12-22-2014, 04:10 AM

Ah, same as up here. I wondered, since at a pic a part in Las Vegas I saw a few rather complete 67-72s and even a 71-74 Javelin with a really nice body. Couldnt beileve it ended up there

1968aj · 12-31-2014, 09:47 PM

going back to pick a part in the morning. they are having a 50% off sale for 3 days. never knew a junk yard had a sale day. not looking for anything in particular . going to grab anything that will work on our trucks.they have very few older trucks but I might get lucky. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

68shortwide · 01-01-2015, 01:02 AM

Also might look out for 94-6 impala Ss wheels. They're 5x5 17s and look pretty good. I'm using them as roller wheels so i don't mess up the good ones. Pretty good lookin wheel considering they're factory.

I just picked up a front sway bar off of an 80's 3+3 dually. Beefy at 1 1/4", half price was $12. Going in my 68 when I do the disk brake conversion.

That's a killer price. Should help it cut the corners too

1968aj · 01-01-2015, 11:23 PM

this trip did not turn out as good as the last one. somebody beat me to all the rally wheels. did find some bases for my bucket seats out of a van. I will try their other location this weekend. there was 1 71 Cheyenne but it had been picked over pretty good not anything I needed .

hdff · 01-02-2015, 02:58 PM

whick pick a part did you go to?

1968aj · 01-02-2015, 03:25 PM

its on wallisville rd. they changed the name to lkq

HookEm67 · 01-03-2015, 01:35 AM

Went to te one on wallisville on Thursday. They had a 71 long bed but it was in pretty rough shape. Had a lot of parts on it though. I got a serpentine system with a fan clutch and fan blade for like $95 bucks though. Even got the A/c delete pulley. Pretty good deal. Half off until Sunday.

that 71 looks like it had 6 coats of different color paint. every body panel was beat up. it was so close to the truck behind it I cold not see the tailgate. it did still have all the suspension good for a 5 lug conversion.

1968aj · 01-03-2015, 10:37 AM

I saw two vans with rally wheels they were not as wide as truck rallys. think I should get them?

1968aj · 01-13-2015, 07:44 PM

finally got my wheels cleaned up and installed. came out pretty good for $7 for each wheel with caps. got started on the seats. got them all mounted temporarily . will post some pictures when they come back from upholstry

flashed · 01-13-2015, 08:01 PM

Those wheels really made a huge difference in your truck ,it looks great .Now tell me where you found the center cap decals ,I like them.

1968aj · 01-13-2015, 08:24 PM
