Suburban at the salvage yard - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The local salvage yard owner hauled this in yesterday. I went over today to see what I could scavenge off of it. It's pretty stripped out and you can tell it was buried in the ground but I did get some usable parts off of it, including all the Soft-Ray glass except the drivers window. (broken). I will try and post some pictures of the stuff I got tomorrow. Probably be late, going to a swap meet in the morning...

Wow, now that is some rusty dusty goodness there!

Looks like the dash and the gauge panel are salvageable?

How was the hatch? mine is rusty on the bottom

The hatch has some rust in it but it is above average for the Iowa rust belt.... I am going to try and fix it.

Pictures tomorrow.

The hatch and gate are still better than mine.

Believe it or not there isn't. I guess the tinted windshield saved it. I am going to use it in another truck I have though.

Looks like a quite few usable parts! Good find.

Cumminpwr11 · 10-22-2013, 06:51 PM

that looks like an excellent candidate for a crew cab conversion. I'd rather cut that instead of my 72. awesome find!

Well, it's about one foot tall right now. As soon as I pulled the rest of the parts I wanted, off to the crusher it went...

It doesn't look bad, did you get some of the parts with it (glass etc...)?

oilyrag80 · 10-24-2013, 09:28 PM

Did you get the third door hinges I'm looking for a extra set?

DWilbur · 10-24-2013, 09:36 PM

Ol Blue20
I did get the front fenders and an extra set of doors with all the guts and glass but the bottom of the extra set of doors are rotted real bad. the right side doors on the Burb are in good shape I have to replace the left door it is bent in-between the hinges. I did not get any interior parts.

Well that's a good start, just keep watching for the interior pieces. They're out there

Nice Doc, looks like you scored. I have noticed fewer 67-72 anything in the junk yards this past year! Even the junk guys say they are not coming in like they used to. The ones that are left are being completely stripped!
