$168 is a hell of a deal. Around here, the 2 seats alone you'd do good to find for $150.

I'm so used to looking out the small mirrors. One time my mother-in-law wanted me to take her Ford 150 up to a lake in texas and tow her travel trailer up there and set it up at the state park for her. I said Okay. It would give me and my (little daughter at the time) something to do in the hot summer, take Memaws air conditioned truck up to the lake. I really didn't pay much attention at first until I was changing lanes. Now, she has those big ass tow mirrors on her truck because she has a camper shell and tows a boat sometimes and other times her travel trailer. Man when I looked into that mirror thinking mine was small and that's what I was used to, it was like hanging completely out the window and looking behind me the view was so huge! I could see miles behind me!! If it hadn't had the camper shell on it I could have looked three lanes to the right of the truck from the left!

Picked this up this summer, a 2wd aluminum top cover sm465, came with the slave cylinder and line to master. Got it for $75! Not sure what year or what it was out of. Got it for my 48 gmc

If you plan to use the bellhousing with the passenger side slave cylinder, really inspect the 4 trans mounting holes before you put it in the truck. It is extremely super duper common for them to crack on that version for some reason.

Well that kinda sucks lol, I basically got it for the hydraulic bellhousing.. since I'm swapping into a 48 gmc. Did you know what year range these bellhousings are?

The aluminum top and shifter are well worth the price too!

It may not be cracked, but it is likely. They can be repaired too. They were only used '88-'90 and only in the GMT 400 series trucks.

I'm still thrilled about the trans don't get me wrong lol, I didn't see anything obvious but I haven't pulled the bell off yet. Thanks bucket!

I took a mental health day from the office last Friday and we went to the junkyard.

We found a fresh 1988 3/4 ton truck with a big block that had yet to be molested.
So we dove in.

The weekly special just happened to be $25 any radiator and this one has the 4 core copper brass feller in it.
Well, not any longer.
I took the radiator and fan shroud.

Then we went to town on removing the serpentine pulley system from the beautiful Mark IV engine.
The heads are the same set of 360's that we already have on our truck, so no need to go any deeper than under the valve covers.
While in there I took all the rocker arms, screw in studs, pushrods, and other simple to remove hardware.

Other than the stuff from the truck, there was a 1987 Dodge truck across the aisle.
It had its stock dog dish hub caps still, so those came with me as well as its single barrel Holley carb.
If it is good enough for a 225 slant six, perhaps it can be adapted to my 235 straight six in my 1954 Bel Air.

I also found a couple of auxiliary gauges that were removed and brought home.
One is a S&W 0-100 oil pressure gauge and the other is a VDO 90-400 transmission temp gauge.
Both of the senders came too....

Pull the goodies from that one?

Crazy how times have changed. I remember when those were new. The local Chevy dealer was charging an extra 5k on top of the normal price, just because they could. And now they are just getting tossed.

I am confident whoever wrote that one off did not know what they had. It was clean.

I grabbed the rear end to use for my 67 camaro and then due to various misadventures have lost it.

longer version:
Bought a direct bolt in 8.5 instead, sold the zr2 axle and then found that 8.5 was really 8.2 and dumped that one because it is 8.2. Now I am back to where I started with no 8.5 axle to go in the car

That is a pisser for sure.
I pulled an 8.6 from a S-10 not long ago for my '54 Bel Air.
Seems like there is only one at a time in the yard now.

The other day when we were there was the first time in as long as I can remember that there was not one square body truck in the yard.
