Ramblin on to VPW.

I would be interested in knowing if they ever found the box of fiber steering disks shown in one of fishtail's pictures. Everytime that I called, they said that they didn't have them
They still had the white nylon plastic steering column bushings last year (top and bottom) for $10.00 each.

I would love to find the 3 driver's side troop seat main uprights. I have all the other parts. That would give me a complete 2nd set. If I remember correctly, they had some and they were $10 each.

Wish I could go with you and help. Thank you!!

Gents,

It's been an amazing, and successful trip for me there.

I have to say, words and pictures cannot describe how awesome this place truly is. Anyone that likes to work on these things and has a inner picker waiting to come out this is your Mecca!

I took some general pictures of some of the containers and a few shots of stuff I found really interesting. There are literally 12 large containers, some full to the brim with parts for M715's alone. This doesn't even touch on the stuff they have for old dodges. Truly Amazing!

Sorry for some of the crappy pics. All I have is my cell phone camera.

That being said: How many seat frames do you need?



Random stuff: Inner fenders left and right



Bumper parts galore, springs, FULL loaded NOS front axles



More Axles in back, troop seat uprights, and the box is full of NOS windshields.



LOTS of heat cables, varying random nuts, bolts, seals, tubing and bearings.



Ambulance doors, rectifiers, more seals, more bearings.

NOS dash's and door panels



Random misc.





This container proved to be interesting. There is 1 crate in the back that has a LOT of fresh air controls in box, that's in plastic packaging labeled 976079. This crate is so big you can't get to everything inside the way it's packed in there. I pulled several out and in those I found 1 package that was labeled 976077? I think. That was a heat control. This is a mixed box. It makes me wonder if the hard to find defrost cable is mixed in. The bed on top of this container is in really good shape too. It has a couple of brush guards in it, but no tailgate.

This container is FULL of wheels, and NOS bows, maybe even some bed canvas in the back that is impossible to get to. There are also NOS core supports stacked on top in the back.



Finally, this is what I had to drool over when I was done picking parts. These guys do not disappoint!!!









This truck is the diamond in the entire place. It was #1 off the factory line of its production model and is pristine. Amazing truck!

Let's not forget what I pulled.



Re-pop rear floor pans, and NOS core support.



A hood in excellent shape.... finally!



THE last NOS Windshield frame and it is in excellent shape.



Windshield weather stripping, 2 defroster ducts (there is 1 left that doesn't have the clips on it) upper and lower column bushings for those that asked - PM me and we will get those worked out, and that glove box is for you Suby, they didn't have any latches, or grab bars, but LOTS of glove box doors.



Kyken, I didn't have enough cash flow for your uprights also, but I did have them set aside and if you are serious they can get them and ship them out to you. Ask for Josh. Very cool guy, and knows his way around these containers fairly well. Tell him Brad sent you. Here they are.




Unfortunately fellas the box of fiber discs is no where to be found, and trust me I looked for it.

WOW! Simply WOW!

[Subybaja]

PM incoming. Thanks!

That almost makes me sad...is that stuff ever going to be sold, or just sit in boxes for another 40 years and then get scrapped? Are they actually trying to sell it? I guess you did your part!

[kyken]

Excellent, Thank you!

Y'all can laugh, but If I ever win the Lottery,

I'm Not Going to Disneyland...

Just sayin'.


Find a local hotel, Get a roll off container, and load up for a week.

Buy the Guys there lunch every day.


Awesome Place.


Thanks for all the pics.


I saw a Blackout light bracket for the hood in one of those pics, and a bunch of axle U bolts... Front axle flange seals...

Having NOS Windshields is awesome to know also.

No telling what goodies hide in the darkest corners.

Yep, Need a week and lotto money : )


Most of those containers would be "organized" when I was leaving ...lol

Now THAT'S Entertainment.
