ggdad1951 Posted February 11, 2012 Report Posted February 11, 2012 (edited) I went to the "local" yard today and found some things I don't need: found this dash ornament, the pegs on back are broken off, but maybe some new ones could be glued back on (machine a small counterbore and glue in some new clear plastic pegs)? also found this SS nose piece that should be for the Dodges (it was loose in a PH cab). I don't have one so I don't know for sure. PM me if you are interested in either, will pass along for cost or trade. Edited February 11, 2012 by ggdad1951 Quote

dmulhall Posted February 12, 2012 Report Posted February 12, 2012 Ya, its -33 this morning here, and I'm out rummaging through my spare parts Quote
TheMoose Posted February 12, 2012 Report Posted February 12, 2012 I've been to all the salvage yards around here & ZERO Pilothouses, I always drive back roads so I can scope out what people have parked out back but it's been a long time since I've stumbled on an old Pilothouse without the Internets help.

ggdad1951 Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Posted February 13, 2012 well the "local" yard I went to takes about 1.5 hours to get to from my house, has 100 acres of vehicles and only 2 PH trucks, or what really remains of 2 trucks with random stuff tossed in the cabs. Not much left honestly. I was hoping a "new" one had shown up in the last 2 years, to no avail, heck the one cab was one I had picked a few things from 2 summers ago. And Ed, Sunny's (drove by it on the way out to French Lake) everything is crushed and stacked....big EMPTY field now.... Quote
TheMoose Posted February 13, 2012 Report Posted February 13, 2012 In the 80's I was working on restoring a 69 SS RS Camaro, a local yard had over 100 67, 68, 69 Camaro' so I had lots of cars to pick, I went every payday & got another part. I showed up 1 day & it was all gone, every one of them crushed for scrap. Quote
Young Ed Posted February 13, 2012 Report Posted February 13, 2012 And Ed, Sunny's (drove by it on the way out to French Lake) everything is crushed and stacked....big EMPTY field now.... tragic! I wish they would have had a big sale to let people pick some of what was left. Quote
TheMoose Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 Anyone know if the Dodge dash plate is supposed to be painted or left natural? I see a bit of silver paint on it but after 59 years no telling what it had been painted in the past. Quote
John-T-53 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 Anyone know if the Dodge dash plate is supposed to be painted or left natural? I see a bit of silver paint on it but after 59 years no telling what it had been painted in the past. The plastic dash script was originally painted silver. I kinda like the "natural" clear look on mine so far... Quote
