What square body parts/goodies do you have stashed? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

83GMCK2500 · 04-09-2013, 02:59 AM

THIS IS NOT A FOR SALE AD! These are parts and things that I have collected because I either intend to use them or they were neat. Some of these pics aren't square related, but most are. Nor is this thread meant to be a "look what I have", I just realize there are some parts that others have not seen, I know I have learned a lot from this forum, and I want to share the knowledge/ideas.

Until recently I worked at a wrecking yard and I had the opportunity to buy parts off of vehicles as they were processed, before they were available to the public. The NOS parts I've collected on ebay and at swap meets.

NOS

NOS Bought these because I intend to put an LQ4 in my truck.

This is not nearly everything I have, just some of the little stuff. Other things I have:

NOS 83-84 GMC Grille, RPO V22
NOS "G" "M" "C" letters for the afore mentioned grille
NOS Cruise Control kit
NOS Tachometer (81+ style)
NOS Instrument Cluster housing for the afore mentioned tachometer
NOS Cargo Lamp kit
NOS Gravel Shields (the first gen, the ones with the blue plastic film on them)
Used core support from 83/84 with dual lamps
Used auxiliary battery wiring solenoid, and all associated wiring/grommets/etc
Used Interior Dome/Cargo flip-down light
Used PW/PDL motors/solenoids and all the wiring, from fuse panel across the cab into the doors
Used in-bed vertical tire carrier
Used camper tie-down brackets, the ones that pass through the bedsides.
Used camper stabilizer kit for the bed-cab
Used 73/74 GMC Tailgate, w/o trim holes, removed from truck very early and barn stored.
Several misc used lamps/lenses
Also, each Parts & Illustration manual from 73-91, the 1983 GMC Trucks Showroom Data Album book/binder, covers S/T, C/K, G/P, and Medium Duty.

1983 C/K Truck Wiring/Dimensions Book, it is wide like the pictured 1987 Wiring Manual.
An NV4500 and the 10.5" rear out of a '93 3500, rear has had the perches torched off, ground down, cleaned, primed, and waiting for new perches.
A pair of NVG-241s for electronic speedos, for eventual LS motor swap and electronic goodies
I am sure there is more I have forgotten...

I don't have any good parts stashed. Ask my wife; all of the stuff in the attic is just junk.

**lolife99** · 04-09-2013, 10:57 AM

NOS swb bedside,...

*JCampbell* · 04-09-2013, 11:07 AM

I have a pair of NOS 15,000lb Trailering Special badges for the dually that I think are pretty snazzy.

**rs74** · 04-09-2013, 11:10 AM

A set of both NOS doors and fenders. They are getting ready to go on my short bed. Have had them about 15 years.

Low87 · 04-09-2013, 11:19 AM

A lot of odds & ends. Some stuff I pulled off the '87. I kick myself over the Silverado trim I trashed (rear cab trim, tailgate band, etc).
Mostly extra dash bezels, a variety of sensors & gauges. A couple inner fenders. Coolant reservoirs. Rally Wheels (where'd the damn trim rings disappear to?).
Probably a few surprises if I ever got to the top shelves and had a look.

I lost a cherry set of OE dually fender moldings off my '77. I took them off when I swapped beds a few years ago, stuck them in a cardboard box, and haven't seen them since.

Too bad...I could've scored big on eBay with those.

2- GM box sides for '87 #2

**N2TRUX** · 04-09-2013, 12:58 PM

This is just one batch. I have enough to do a complete truck +/- a few small pieces.

66skylarkpost · 04-09-2013, 01:35 PM

Shyguy · 04-09-2013, 02:13 PM

I am new to square bodies so I do not have a lot of stashed parts other than an auxiliary battery box my son gave me a few days ago.

I thought the grey paint on the flat part of the center cap was overspray from a $6 wheel paint job! I am in the process of scraping it all off,theres nice chrome under that grey paint.
