Is that an original light duty rear bumper in that first pic?!?
It might be. The truck does have a nice front bumper and A/C core support!

Good eye John! Yes it is indeed a later light duty rear bumper and yes i did grab it. Somebody politely removed the bed and bumper and set it there for me to find. Very nice of them.Hobcobble wrote:Is that an original light duty rear bumper in that first pic?!?

And yes Earl that is another good light duty early bumper. cdhawk already spoke up for it on Facebook

Re: Went junkyarding today!
The rf fender on the green truck would look good elsewhere too. Wish I still had yards like that around here.

Re: Went junkyarding today!
I spy a passenger side 3-bolt mirror stalk in the 4th picture.
Stuff like wiper arms, door handles, trim, hinges, grills, lenses, etc. are worth grabbing usually if in good condition.
I think I have seen that junkyard on googleearth.

Re: Went junkyarding today!
Yea Bucky what you couldn't see in those pics though is that there was a piece of angle welded to both of those 3 hole mirrors. Not sure if they were worth saving or not.
And I'll keep an eye out for a bench seat. You need a nice one or just a good frame?

Re: Went junkyarding today!
Hi, what kind of shape is the Adventurer trim on the green truck? I need an upper passenger door piece, and the rear lower fender arch trim and rear lower trim piece (see below pics).
Also, I am looking for some OEM wheels (5 x 5.5 x ?), maybe side mirrors, 4-barrel air filter. (or, if someone local to SoCal has a set of wheels :))

I think the upper passenger door trim was in ok shape. I cant tell from the pic and i dont remember but the door looks a little out of whack. Ill definitely check on it though. What kinda shape does it need to be in cause the one on your truck doesnt look terrible. As for the lower wheel lip trim i didnt even notice ill have to check whenever i go back. Same question about condition applies here...

Re: Went junkyarding today!
My upper passenger door trim is nice, but for the hole in it (which, itself, is kinda weird). As to the lower wheel/lower fender trim, I not sure how rare those pieces are, but I have a feeling I might be lucky to find them at all. So definitely interested in them, if they are straight and only have finish issues. Do you think there are a set of 5x5.5x16.5 wheels out there? Shipping might not be too bad using my FedEx acct. I don't think they would even need to be packaged.skyrodder666 wrote:I think the upper passenger door trim was in ok shape.

Re: Went junkyarding today!
Ok I'll take a better look at that trim when I'm up there next time and I'll probably grab it. As for the wheels in not sure at all. Most of the time they separate the wheels from the trucks. I'm not sure there's a complete set on any of the trucks I took a picture of.
