Picked up a nice box of NOS parts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**1774btcrew** · 08-06-2013, 03:08 PM

As a lot of you know I spend a lot of time scouring swap meets, wrecking yards, yard sales and even just word of mouth to find the best parts. Well I stumbled upon this stuff over the weekend. I thought I would share what I found. It seems the guy had a dually that got stolen and he never got a chance to use any of this stuff. This stuff was not cheap but I did pay less than market value for it. It is ALL factory GM parts and all of it is in its original packaging. This is NOT a for sale post. Some will be for sale when I decide what I plan on keeping for myself with 3 trucks I need a lot of parts!

No worries! I wish I could actually find more parts I needed. It will just take some time I suppose. There is one guy I talk to that only deals with NOS parts that is supposed to be gathering up most of the trim for my truck so with any luck he will have most of it.

It is a set of tail gate lights for a 1 ton

meatwagon83 · 08-07-2013, 12:39 AM

If/when these come up for sale I will post here. I know people mention aftermarket lenses and that is all well and good but I won't have anything but factory GM for my truck. I am just really particular. Being in the autobody field I have had some bad experiences with aftermarket stuff. Even if the fit is fine it just doesn't seem to last like the factory stuff. I would prefer nice used factory GM over new aftermarket.

Those two bits of corner trim look nice, but I haven't been able to find the actual trim that goes with them ANYWHERE.
