HRPC's trip to Pull A Part

[HotRodPC]

Damn, those panels are nice. Wish I could find some nice tan panels, I could use some for my 84'. Right now I'm running the blue panels from my 87', haha. The original panels in the 84' were literally crumbling.

This actualy give me 2 nice sets of Tans. My 85C20 that has the real nice interior is also tan. I hope to have that truck together this fall. I just need to find 4 tan straps now.

unh huh, I see you avoided the. "Yo Ass better be ready to go" !!!


WTH would he be using different names. If he has different locations, it would seem to me he could get the better advertising dollar by naming them the same. Unless he's cooking books, 1 makes a little money and 1 is a loser.

**** yeah dude! Nice to see you getting some play time.

NO doubt. I'm not "GETTING" some play time. I "TOOK" some play time. Took advantage of nice weather and getting away from the house. Figured I'd try to find a dizzy for the C20 and a PS pump for the K1500. It worked out, they had some good ****. I should go back and get the rest of the tan trim and kick panels tomorrow. I would have got it today, but you know my son has more important things to do like go sit on his ass at his friends house or my daughters house so he wasn't here to go with me. It's OK though. He's 17 and had a drivers license, and I"m not fixing **** for him to drive. He's ****** hisself.

He makes $4,000,000 a year on these yards. And having owned a yard, I know there's a shitton of money to be made if you run things right.

And yeah, we'll play it by ear but I should be good to go, fall is a ways away yet.

Man? wish i could find some Saddle tan interior,, complete......

All there is around here is MAROON.......

i got lucky for my 4x4 and found all blue in a truck, "83" but its pretty much sun baked,, but i use it anyway,, in a "78k10 4x4",, but!! better than MAROON........

so i used a brown dash that was pretty good "85" and covered it with a blue dash cover...

but with tan/saddle? ya cant see all the dust,, its the same color!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.......

 

[bucket]

Those tan panels do look nice!

Seems like 50% of the interiors around here are blue, then red/maroon, gray, then finally tan. You almost never see charcoal anymore. Figures my least favorite is the most common.

Ohh yeah, I know. I'd never just drop in on you. You'll have plenty of notice, maybe a week or so. And if you have things going on, maybe a reschedule. Also, you won't have to take the whole day. But yeah, we'll get it worked out and see who else we can meet with and go with us, like Frank or if Foamy can make it too. We'll make a party of it and make everyone else jealous with our get together and then with all the cool **** we got.

 

[HotRodPC]

I'm probably going back to get the rest of the interor except the dash board. All the trim around the windshiled post, headliner trim, kickpanels and all are in great shape. There is a little dirtyness on the door panel lower carpet and the door panel insert fabric on the driver side, but I feel confident with some carpet and upholsetery cleaner I can make it look real close to new. Tan isn't my color choice at all, but when I find in this good of condition, I'm getting it. Not only cheap at PAP, but I don't want to buy new and have it painted. I'd rather have factory manufactured in the correct color and if its in good shape I'll live with it and like it. I'd love to find a good charcoal interior. I've also see a nice brown interior too and I do like that better than tan.

What did you do with the white panels? Those are quite rare as I believe they were only on special models like the Impact and Spirit of '76 trucks.
