Guy at my shop picked this up a few days ago. (I have no idea what that thing in the middle of the hood is - this unit came from NoCal.)

*CWT* · 08-27-2009, 06:14 PM

MacAttack · 08-27-2009, 06:16 PM

True Dat - he's got a 61' he drives to work now with massive amounts of Bondo and I think this front end will give his truck a new lease on life.

I'm pretty sure the thing in the middle is a gun sight. (Nice find though...for only 250!!!)

70 Suburban · 08-27-2009, 06:25 PM

Thats prolly a mirror on the hood so they could see the stop lights without having do duck....

Bears63 · 08-27-2009, 06:27 PM

$250 well spent?..... No, no, no.... That's pure garbage.... It should be freighted out to me for proper disposal

Now that's funny chit........

sandfreek · 08-27-2009, 08:12 PM

Nice find for sure and the dash dosen't look cut up too....

Maybe a tach mount of some kind on the hood??? The other thing looks like a hood pin, but in the middle hummm...

terd ferguson · 08-27-2009, 08:16 PM

The good fenders, doors and windshield are worth waaaaay more than $250. I paid $200 for the same thing (cab and front clip) in much worse condition. I got it just for the windshield.

The thing in the middle of the hood is a mount for an air horn. Like the ones on tractor trailers. It is the rear mount if you can open th ehood there may be a compression fitting for an air line. The only thing that is missing is the trumpet.

Well I'll be damned - stood there looking at it yesterday and had no concept what the hell it was.......other than some holes he'll have to eventually patch.

Yeah, that's for sure my brother, but this one's far out of my price range - presently. Maybe the kids will take the hint and get me one for the holidays.

On the truck cab and front end (don't know the proper nomenclature for this unit - please feel free to educate), this guy in the shop heard about it about to be hauled off to who knows where from our electrician, who happened to live near the original owner's place (who was clearing some property) somewhere in Northern California, and just happened to fall into this deal.

(I never have anything close that kind of luck.)

jason65 · 08-28-2009, 12:44 PM

and when I do it's right after I don't need it any more.
