Had to work on Sunday, and wound up checking out a wrecking yard in Lancaster that's kind of on my way home. I walked through and found nothing, but on my way out, I saw a '63 C-20 longbed in the holding area. I talked to the yard foreman about when the truck was due to hit the yard, and he said "Tuesday afternoon".

So, I went to work early to offset the time, and I split at 1pm. Went to the yard, and it wasn't out yet, so I waited like an expectant father until it came out. Once it did, I jumped on it like a rat on a cheeto. The body was pretty beat, but complete. The interior was stripped out, not much there.

I grabbed a pair of hood hinges, both aluminum headlight bezels, both front marker light assemblies, both rear taillight assemblies, driver's armrest, and a perfect tailgate w/chains and trunions for a grand total of $127.00

I plan on going back to grab the fender extensions, the upper and lower valences, and possibly the steering column (automatic).

It's still got the custom cab front windshield stainless trim and sail panels (It's a '63). Unfortunately, the steering wheel was gone.
