wrmmh is this past weekend i had enough spare time to get to the pick 'n pull and hit a gold mine!
earlier in the week they got in a single cab '89 gm truck... pretty much the exact same style of truck as mine. i pulled soooo much stuff out of that truck. one brutal thing about owning a 35 year old truck is the plastic trim is so stinking brittle. i don't pull my interior apart often (remove all the plastic trim out of the truck) but when i have there will always be stuff breaking off (inner tabs, alignment pins, connectors). to get the one piece i really wanted out of the truck in the yard i had to remove the door sills, a piece that goes the width of the truck right under the back window and the pieces that go floor to ceiling behind the seat... then i could remove the ceiling piece i really wanted. the best part was all the pieces i had to remove were mint - in way better shape than mine... so i took all of it! ha!
i pillaged a bunch of other parts from that truck and some other older chevs & gmc's which was great.
i was also hoping to find a center console from a 2008-2010 f150 becuz they will fit great in my old truck. by fluke the yard had also just got a 2010 f150 in earlier in the week and it still had the center console. now... the console itself was disgusting - so much crap spilled all over it - but all the parts were there and the parts were all in great shape (minus all the gunk all over it). after removing 4 15mm bolts that baby was mine.

once i was home i hit the center console with some hot soapy water, a scrub brush and some elbow grease - it looks really good. i am going to repaint it to better match my truck's interior - but it's going to work great!

it's just so hard to find parts for my truck (understandably... it is 35 years!) so to have a haul like i did a couple days ago really makes me happy!
