Not from the junkyard, but close enough. Today I picked up these old lightweight plastic race seats that were put out for free at the end of someone's driveway. Once cleaned up, they'll be in pretty good shape. The padded covers are decent too.

What the hell will I do with them? Haven't a clue... but they were free.

What the hell to do with them?Buy a 66 Chevelle to put them in.

Not sure if you can drive this far, but this should have what you're looking for....

OH, I'll end up buying an impound unclaimed auction vehicle for dirt cheap and rob all the parts I need, then send it over the scale and get my money back.

Sure. The 84-85 grille? I'm not gonna use it all! That's also what I got this junk for, just like you said the grilles would be great for patch pieces.

I think the couple air cleaners are the early early 70's trucks, the blue one is older than squares. The early ones don't have the snorkel tube like the late 70's and on. I will be using the 80's tall lid unit though. I'm sure they're 4bbl units.

Yea, I believe that’s what I have.

Yea, I believe that’s what I have.

I believe mine is 83-84, but yours is 85-87, they are different.

 

[mxer147]

Agree, looking more closely to compare.

I bought this last year. But, just picked it up today. It was at a buddies shop 2 hours away. I think I paid $200 with a bell housing. It is going into my C10.

4 speed Saginaw?

 

[410 John]

Yes and I have a driveshaft that supposed fit my short bed. Gotta get or make a tri five style bench seat shifter stick. I have a truck 4 speed now. Hopefully straight forward swap.

I got super lucky and a dually Crew Cab Choo-Choo Customs K30, 454 truck ended up in my local pick-n-pull. It was in rather rough shape but was still neat and I got some parts off it. Sadly the dually fenders were trashed, i did get a few of the bolts that hold them on though just a spares for my own set. The engine was shot, I pulled the oil pan and found a bearing floating around in it, a bit sad as it was a 4 bolt main. The front seats were also custom jobs by Choo-Choo but the armrests were ripped off and they were in bad shape overall. I did sit in them a bit, was rather odd, they were very… plush, you sat down in them and sank in a good 3 inches. I looked around for the trim rings for the wheels but 2 were missing so I passed on them. I was going to get the hood but it had a few dents in it and I’m tight on money so I passed on it. I wanted to get the driveshaft as well but they crushed it with their loader at the yard sadly. And then I just did not have enough money to get the NP205, it was also a bit different, Choo-Choo-Customs relocated the leaver to make room for their console.

I also got…
H6 AC compressior and brackets. Next to it is an A6 compressor I already had but the H6 is much lighter, is the correct compressor for my year truck, and it does not have a backer on the bottom like the A6 so it should bolt on around the headers

Factory 454 air cleaner: I did not realize the snout was larger on them compared to the small block cleaners. (Small block on top in photo.)

Radiator hold down plate. I had a working setup with the small block parts and but I was happy I got this.

Rear bench seat: This is kinda neat it slides forward and folds flat! Shaging Wagon time! Must of been a Choo-Choo customs made part as I’ve never seen another one. I’ll probably make a thread just on this when I get around to cleaning it up.

Bonus Cab emblems: I had to have these. My truck is no longer a 3+3 as I put suburban front seats and console in it some time ago. I’ve gotta remove my speakers and then they are going on my truck.

Oil pan and dipstick: I’ve been having excess blow by issues and other leakage from my oil dipstick. I’m hoping this will fix/help those issues.

Mud flap brackets: not sure if these are choo-choo customs or homemade, they are a bit twisted but I’ll get them straightened out.

Gas Filler necks: My truck was converted from the 6.2 diesel and was done so poorly at that. I was happy to find these intact.

Garages: apparently the 454 (or maybe just all the gas engines?) used different oil pressure and Water temperature gauges. I already swapped the fuel gauge out. Not looking forward to pulling the cluster out again, but it’s gotta be done.

Rear sill plates: These are unique to the crew cabs, this set is not perfect, buuuut at 10 feet away they look good enough. I may still get a set from LMC but these were $8 so for now they keep my speaker wires out of the doors so I’m happy with them.

Dually fender support bracket: This was missing on the passenger side of my truck. It was also bent into the shape of a boomerang, I put it on the anvil and got it more or less straight, then I had to drill out the hole on the fender as the PO filled it with bondo.

Oil cooler adaptor: I wanted to put this on, though I’m not sure I need it as I do not have a oil temp gauge.

Man, that's a shame that thing ended up in the scrap yard
