My own junk yard hunt. The Thunderbirds are 1979, will the trunks from those work on my 1972 GTS?

No, but quite a bit of other things will! If the guys prices are decent, there is a truckload of stuff that would fit from that bird.

Yeah, I got dibs on that tilt. But I will call him tomorrow and see what the deal is, prices, removal etc... So if anyone wants anything give me a shout-I may not get back for a couple of weeks.

I am now thinking of grabbing that ford van/wagon thingy-for a future project-I always wanted one of those as well.
 
BTW-Desert Valley AP quoted me 400$ for a floor-not including shipping-what do you people think?

Price on 2-4 wheel lip mouldings, if not badly gouged, creased,or dented. & the recv'r/dryer from that '74-76 Ranchero? I know the dissecant in the dryer is no good, but one of those classic air companies will rebuild them. I'm missing mine on my '73, and I want to get my air working  & want to kept the factory look.  Thanks

I will be going back there tomorrow. I'll ask the specifics and maybe pull some parts at the same time and get the picture of that interior.

If you have the cash time and space, you could flip quite a bit of that for easy $.

Think that space age Chrysler intrument cluster is worth anything?

Oh. No idea. I was referring to stuff on the 72-79s, lol.

I had some spare time today-so this is what I was able to pull.

should have grabbed that red dash pad as well as there is a member looking for a dash pad for his torino in any color and that would fit as they are the same.I see you got the Blue one is that leather? I see it has stitching on it so assumed it was leather


Posted By: foote500
Date Posted: 18-November-2011 at 12:37PM
Yes, it is leather. The guy who owns the yard said to leave the black Tbird alone as it still runs and he is partnering with some one on that. I tried to get the dash out of the Ranchero-but it took a turn for the worse.

The blue pad is Heritage Ed. Tbirds only, and blows away 'regular' pads in terms of quality. It'll bolt into a 72-79.

Awesome score!

I need to go by this place on my next trip up North. Would be a shame to drive my truck back home empty, LOL.
