i recently went to a junkyard and picked up a perfectly working 145 mph gauge cluster, mint dashpad with no cracks, fog light and headlight switch and the bezel, and some of the rear screws for the spare tire holder plastic pieces all for $5!

i'd say it was worth it.

 

COOL!
What did you do? Put it all down your pants.

 

maybe...

 

When I was a kid with little money I managed to get some pretty bulky items from the self serve dismantlers out in my pants.

 

you gotta do what you gotta do!

its not like the junkyard needed them anyways...

 

That rocks, im bout to hit up a junkyard

 

are you making a remark about a little something downstairs there mike?

but anyway, i have always found the ol junkyard to be a place to get good parts, CHEAP, and sometimes free

 

I once walked out with a speedometer, the whole unit in a housing, in the crotch of my coveralls with the tripometer cable portruding through a pant leg.

 

A buddy and I walked out of a tractor trailer junk yard with a complete, working turbo for his cat engine.

 

I aint even gonna ask where you hid it!
