Hey Longhorn I was just there this weekend. There are trucks all over the place. If I had driven I think I would have driven on a bunch of country roads just scouring the farm yards. After you turn off 50 onto the highway going to the base. Just 2 blocks past the Jack in the Box on the left someone has a reaaaal nice '71 Longbed. A little farther down on the right is a garage of sorts and he has a couple of beds made into trailers that I couldn't tell much about just driving by. They are behind the building. I'll bet in the 3 days I was in that town I saw at least 10 trucks and any number that could be bought for parts. Driving in from Reno there is a real nice looking Red shortbed on the right side of the road. Have fun, and hope the weather is nicer while you are there than it was for me!By the way keep an eye on your speedometer because the State Police are Pretty alert. We were stopped but were lucky enough to just get a verbal!

Thanks everybody whom replied. I found a real nice 69-72 GMC Grill with a hood lip, more or less one piece. I never knew that. Knowing this however would of made my search even easier. Me personaly, I learn something new on this truck everyday. I also found a set of bb exhaust manifolds for my truck. $30 bucks for the pair. Outstanding buy! $60 on the grill/lip. A total of $90, not bad! I did find another complete 67 GMC grill. $20 bucks, painted white with the GMC letters on it. It's on an old suburbin and I found a complete 69-72 GMC grill/lip for $175 bucks. Last but not least another GMC grill, 68 painted white. Thanks again all and if anyone wants any of these grills, Email me for locations. I found other stuff as well. Remember, Don't go to the junk yards in Mustang, Those guys either wanted to argue or just wasn't interested in the buisness. Thanks,
