The truck circled in Red is fairly decent and probably wouldn't take a lot to make a driver. I already took the tailgate, rear bumper and mirror arm from it. I think it was a 383 auto. The grille and front bumper are bent but there are better ones on some of the other trucks. The seat looks half eaten.

Soop, would you be willing to tell me the name of that yard, so I can contact them about that '91/'93 bed? Thanks Doug

Yes. They probably all are. I already have an inquiry about the passenger side arm but I still have to examine it better and get back to them. Send me a PM if you are interested in one of them.

I think I just wee'd a little. Is this Doug's 4-Wheelers? I'm from Des Moines. I'll have to make a trip down there when I get back from the sandbox. As if seeing my family wasn't enough motivation to get home...

I didn't realize there is a member from Norwalk. Yes, it is Doug's.

Yup, I'm from Norwalk. My truck is in storage in Knoxville while I'm gone, but I'll be back to it soon enough. Was it you that I talked to about the title? I'm trying to figure out who used to own my truck. I made a separate thread in topic.

I replied to your thread but we never talked about it. It doesn't look familiar so I can't tell who owned it before.

I just remembered from your other post about the rear axle missing, that we did PM each other about it. I'll reply in you other post so this one doesn't get too muddied up.

I called a yard in Modesto not to long ago, they said they have a "few" parts for a Swepty, I haven't made it down yet though, cuz I have a donor truck in my back yard.
If you're interested the yard is on Hatch Rd., just north of Carpernter.
