Re: "The Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla" 1987 Chevy 2WD SWB

I looked at a few before I bought this one, there was a guy in Grande Prairie that was selling 3 short boxes in various stages of disrepair / rebuild for $3,000.

I probably would've bought those just to have parts to build one from them all but I just had no way of getting them home without paying a car hauler to do it for me.

Yes, I'm a Chris Jericho fan, but I don't really watch WWE anymore unless I can't sleep on a Monday night. It sucks without having the WCW as competition. For me it peaked in the days of the nWo and Raw is War.

I've been to pick your part on 118Ave a couple of times but haven't really found anything that hasn't been ripped apart already.

Two people have called me from my ad on kijiji.ca and I have bought parts off them. I really need a set of good doors with power windows and locks and I am always on the look out for good fenders even though I now have two sets.

I also need a good tailgate and short box sides if you see any around...

One guy from Michener Allen Auction let me come over and tear apart a 83 Suburban that he was sending to the wreckers later that week. That was good as I got a set of doors (a bit rusty though) a hood, and various odds and ends that I took from the engine. I also got a good bumper (7/10) and some vinyl from the headliner that was in good shape in case I need it for my '79 rebuild. (Next winter)

My point of view is I'll go look at whatever is offered if I can becuse you never know what you'll need. Then if I can help somebody else with a hard to find part later on everybody is happy. So let me know if you need something for your truck.

Here's one in your neck of the woods:

Here's another:

The second one I wanted to go and look at, but now that pictures have been posted I think I won't because I can't really use anything off of it right now. But it would be a decent truck for somebody else to re-do if they were interested!
