55 Fargo Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 Hey all, went to an old Mopar Gents today to buy some parts, this is what I was very fortunate to buy. -seat bottom for split bench, all intact with material everything -rear bumper pan -Mopar Philco 802 radio, he is fixing the dial it needs a vibrator and it works -glass park light lense -temp gauge sender assembly -heater control knob -defrost cable and knob -brake lamp rubber pad - 2 door trims I was extremely lucky;), and bought this all for next to nothing, nuff sad, this Gent is a real swell Guy, has been playing with mopars since 1948, he owns 2 T&Cs, one he bought in 1958, it is still original and n great shape, it;sa rag top too......Fred:) Quote
RobertKB Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 Fred, better go and buy a 6-49 lottery ticket as it sounds like it is your lucky day. Nice to be able to pick this stuff up, let alone cheap. Quote
55 Fargo Posted October 17, 2009 Author Report Posted October 17, 2009 The rear bumpr pan was froma sedan, so had to perorm minor surgery on each corner where the bolt hole mounts to fender bolt hole, there isa gap in this area, as the coupe pan ios different. I can live with this, better than no pan, and the pan is in good shape, just needs tyo be sanded,primed and painted to match my car. The seat bottom is in great shape, very comfortable to sit on, will also be much better for my upholsterer. Now my back seat, he didn't have any, my back seats do not have the burlap wrapping anymore, can my upholsterer still make the seats firm, without this burlap or OEM padding?........Fred Quote
Rodney Bullock Posted October 17, 2009 Report Posted October 17, 2009 Hey Fred, they use foam now. It can be built up nice. sounds like you had a great day. Having a radio is a plus as well. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 Congrats Fred.......sounds like a nice guy there trying to help. Quote
mackster Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 congrats Fred! It is nice to hear you got a nice score up there! Quote
DutchEdwin Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 Congrats Fred, is the radio still working?.....Let us know when it gives it's first AM sound. Mine wasn't. I could fix it only moving the tubes around carefully in there sockets. Quote
Joe Flanagan Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 Wow, Fred. Sounds like Christmas. I should be so lucky. Quote
P-12 Tommy Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 I could use that guy near me. Tom Quote
Young Ed Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 Fred the upholsterer should be able to recover that seat. Just may cost you a little more for the additional material. Im pretty sure when I had my truck seat done they tossed all the old padding and started fresh anyways. Quote
