Got up early this morning and drove up to Belton to dig for OCC parts. On getting there I was tickled to find out it was half-price day! I wish I'd brought some real tools! Just had the basics.

Anyway there were a LOT of B-bodies there today. Only one wagon, an LT1 Caprice that was hit hard, but lots of sedans and other stuff. As usual I nabbed pics for ya'll. Enjoy!

Caprice #1

Found a very complete '79 Buick Park Ave with the DEEP pillowed seats. Chrome was great but I didn't have the tools to pull it...dang!! The brown Electra has a scratch in the front bumper, and the bumper on this car would have cost $12.50 today! Doh!

If you squint you can see the super-clean white '83 Z28 T-top that had just come in. It was on the rack getting the fluids removed. T-top car complete down to the factory wheels. WHY did it end up in the salvager yard???

I nabbed a top-line Olds Cassette radio out of a '92 Cutlass, but sadly the cassette does not work. I also pulled the passenger fender horns from the blue Roady sedan so I can do the 4-note conversion on my OCC. Love that mod! Got both of the rear grab handle light lenses from that wrecked Roady wagon, along with some interior trim bits I was needing. Pulled the rear door panel lights from the red Roady sedan with tan interior. Got some rust-free air cleaner bolts for my Olds...and can you believe it, out of ALL those Caprice''s there was not one with the TBI 5.7 air cleaner badge! Dang, ha!

All that crap cost me $16! Man I wish I'd brought more tools and known it was half-price day! Still fun, and with the cold front we got yesterday it was only in the 80's out there. Perfect yarding weather!

I love the seats and interior in that 79 Park Ave. It was in SUCH nice shape! If it was a coupe I'd be pulling the seats for my '79 Electra. The Electra has sililar seats but they are not as deeply pillowed.

FAN-CY! Ha!

There's a lot of neat stuff in there!

Maybe it had a bad engine or blown transmission and the previous owner just couldn't be bothered to fix either?

Will that yard sell you a whole car as a project vehicle?
