ggdad1951 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Report Posted October 4, 2014 Ed and I went back to French Lake today...got some goodies to add to the parts list in the classifieds section. But I'm most excited that they had a pretty decent shape B1/B2 there with lots of parts still on it, so I got a passenger door for TODD that has NO rust on it on the bottom at all! SCORE! 1 Quote

Don't forget my 39-47 floor insert without rust chunks falling off. Quote

Young Ed Posted June 11, 2015 Report Posted June 11, 2015 Went again today. Didn't get a whole lot. I am happy to have found the missing heater duct for my p15 dual heater setup and I put some effort into salvaging 5 bed to fender bolts-only 7 more to go..... Quote
ggdad1951 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Posted June 11, 2015 well the ones I'll cut off on Saturday won't be saved to get those fenders. IF I have time I'll try some heat and muscle to see if I can save any first. Quote

IF I have time I'll try some heat and muscle to see if I can save any first. You'll notice most of them missing from that truck.....the couple that are left are pretty stripped out. Quote
ggdad1951 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Posted June 11, 2015 sweet, easy then to get the fenders! AWESOME! Quote
ggdad1951 Posted June 13, 2015 Author Report Posted June 13, 2015 quick trip to Wind Hill and French Lake got me these goodies! My haul: B1/2 horn button, B3/4 horn button, oil filter housing and clamp, head light rings instrument hoods gas tank bracket, interior window bezels, divider bar (in and out), MoPaR Jiffy Jet bag (display only it's trashed), glove box door and spring, 4 hood handles, and some Dodge 200 badging. For Ed an older gas/ammeter gauge cluster. Also a chunk of a dash for the cut out part of TODD's dash. Not shown: B3/4 rad top cowl, rear bed brace, 4 trucks worth of interior bezel screws. pait of fender is better condition than I have for the caboose project. Thanks Ed for taking half the bolts off for me...not that it mattered much once you see picture #3 my newest favorite tool at a yard...pesky bolts...GONE! 2 Quote

Are you saying the door is for your TODD or me TODD for my daughters truck?? Quote
ggdad1951 Posted June 14, 2015 Author Report Posted June 14, 2015 Not using it I've got lots of doors for sale Quote
Darkrider Posted June 14, 2015 Report Posted June 14, 2015 Damn it seems like you guys make out like bandits every time you head out there! Quote
ggdad1951 Posted June 14, 2015 Author Report Posted June 14, 2015 Not much left now...there are a few pieces left that are large with low demand...doors, hoods, inner fenders, bed braces, bed sides Quote
Young Ed Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) Went back again yesterday. Didn't score much for truck parts except the cowl vent setup and two rear motor mount bolts. Got the hard piping and heater valve off a 46-48 desoto. Valve moves freely and appears to be useable. rest of the photos http://smg.photobucket.com/user/dodgepu1946/library/junkyard/French%20lake/2016 Edited July 14, 2016 by Young Ed 1 Quote

Young Ed Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 cheater...going w/o asking me! Dad and I went. You know I double dip Yesterday I went to the Upull yard by myself even! 2 Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 Ed is just being proactive...I do want to thank him for looking for a couple parts for me.....he struck out but the man made the effort. and I appreciate that. Quote
jpartington Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 Does anyone ever come across ignition switches or door locks while pickin? Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 first question..is the switch bad or is it just that you do not have a matching cylinder and key? door locks can be easily rekeyed as can the cylinder itself ONCE you have picked the lock and removed the cylinder..another task that is not that complicated.. if bad switch..many are available that folks have lost keys for I am sure, I have rekeyed a number of them for my cars to include matching them with the door locks.....if just a key issue...would suggest addressing keys only..

jpartington Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 The switch that is in the truck is after market, it was replaced by a PO. And I would like a stock one. The door lock I'm not sure what's going on there, it looks as though it has been drilled out or something. A piece of square stock is actually used to unlock it lol Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 yeah..you may be in need of some stock hardware and run from there...your truck suffers from PO... Quote
TodFitch Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 ...your truck suffers from PO... Seems a lot of vehicles suffer from PO. . . Quote
Don Coatney Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 Trying to understand this. Is PO the opposite of the runs? 1 Quote
Jeff Balazs Posted July 14, 2016 Report Posted July 14, 2016 Trying to understand this. Is PO the opposite of the runs? Yes....it doesn't run. 1 Quote
