1978 Suburban just came in to a local yard

Hey all, I check the local wrecking yard listings frequently, in the Houston, Texas area. This popped up today, yard put it out sometime yesterday. Looks like it's got plenty of good stuff left on it, to save other trucks.
This is the U Pull And Pay, in SE Houston, close to Hobby Airport. I will try to get over there soon for a closer look but not guaranteeing anything. Gotta get my truck and my stuff sorted out before my big show trip weekend after next.

Think you could check to see if the rear door panels still have ashtrays ?

Thanks either way.

I was just looking at the website- no pictures. (Beyond what you posted.)

Boo.

Yup I don't like that they do that. LKQ gives you several angles. But these guys are cheaper on most stuff and I'm in the VIP club so I get in for $2 instead of $3: it's $5 now at LKQ.

Unfortunately in Texas, once the yard gets it on the picking lot, it's theirs. However, this company does sell used cars... maybe you could get ahold of them and see if they will sell it to you and prove me wrong....
U Pull And Pay/Houston/Texas/used cars....

that really sucks hopefully it will still be there and lost of stuff left on it so when ever you get a chance to go you can check it out and maybe help out some members if they need it

Hot damn... I wonder how good the passenger inner/outer fender and front doors are. Not sure when I'd be able to make it down there. Too many chores and family activities for me to make it in the next week or two.

If you're willing and the truck has it, I need both the driver and passenger side front headliner trim and the one all the way in the back. You have my paypal info. I'll keep my phone on me. Send me a request for money and I'll pay it on the spot so you're not out anything. Then we can figure shipping.
