tbrand Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 I'm pondering picking up an '86 longbed here for parts. Just have to clear it with the landlord over Christmas and hope the guy doesn't sell it out from under me in the meantime. If it ends up working out, does anyone need anything specific? It would only be able to live at my house for a week or two before it heads off to the junkyard, so I'd like to know in advance what I should be trying to pull. I plan to keep the buckets and perhaps the console, and a few miscellaneous interior bits. The truck is tan/gold with the darker tan (spice?) interior.
Automan2164 Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 I'd be down for a Cargo light, the Comanche/XLS badges, and any other weird things on it. Rob L. :D

whowey Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 And get it into the registry before you send it off...
tbrand Posted December 23, 2010 Author Posted December 23, 2010 All right guys, I'll be sure and get anything unusual off, as well as build info. I hate to send it to the yard, but it's pretty rusty (especially for an Arizona truck) and I have a hookup at the junkyard who'll give me quite a bit more than normal for the truck when I'm done with it.
tbrand Posted December 28, 2010 Author Posted December 28, 2010 Ok, I got it! I'm now the proud owner of two Comanches, if only for a couple of weeks. Disassembly has already commenced - I'll get a list of useful parts up soon, hopefully tomorrow afternoon or Wednesday.
Automan2164 Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Does it have any of the parts I asked about? Rob L. :cheers:
Garvin Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 I might be interested in a few parts, let me check tomorrow to see what my '86 is missing.
tbrand Posted December 28, 2010 Author Posted December 28, 2010 Well Rob, it has the badges (2 Comanche, 2 XLS, 1 2.8L V6, and the JEEP on the header panel. It also has the cargo light switch, but the light itself appears to be MIA. I'll let you know if I find it in one of the boxes of parts that came with the truck.

I appreciate it, and I'll take whatever you don't want. Thanks! Rob L. :cheers:
sinkrun Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 I do not need it but be sure to get the fuel sender, taillights, gate and if it has a hitch I am interested in that.
tbrand Posted December 29, 2010 Author Posted December 29, 2010 It has a bumper hitch, which I assume is not as rare as the factory frame hitch. I'll try to remember to grab all that other stuff though.
Garvin Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 How's the battery box and the passenger side bracket for the radiator (the bracket right next to the battery box)?
tbrand Posted December 31, 2010 Author Posted December 31, 2010 I'll have to look for the battery box and the radiator bracket - the PO has all of the engine parts strewn about the bed. If I find them, I'll let you know. I've pulled a few parts and they're available for sale. Tail lights are SOLD! Silver brushed-look dash bezel. Includes lower cap. $30 plus shipping. 2.8 Carb. PO says rebuilt, but no receipt. $25 plus shipping Tan/yellow interior plastics. The dash has a big nasty gouge, but most of the rest seems to be in ok to good shape. These are the shrouds on the seat brackets. I'm thinking $10 plus shipping for these, or if you want more interior, let me know and we'll work something out.
500 MJ Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 I'd love to have those tail-lights, they are worth WAY more than $60 plus shipping to guys like me. I don't have money to burn on another set right now. Good Luck with a clean sale!
MJCARENA Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 I am interested in the taillights. I live at 47ave and Bell rd. Can I meet you somewhere to look at them. Thanks
tbrand Posted December 31, 2010 Author Posted December 31, 2010 MJCARENA - PM Sent. I've got a set of 5 wheels that I think originally came from a Grand Cherokee. Tires are not so good, but the wheels seem to be all right. $100 obo and a set of bald steelies to roll it on the trailer. Local pickup, unless you know a great way to ship 5 wheels and tires. A.R.E. Longbed Topper, gray. Not MJ specific, but fits on this longbed pretty well. Paint is faded and shocks are a bit weak, but all glass in great shape and has the slider to connect to the cab. $150 obo local pickup only.

HOrnbrod Posted December 31, 2010 Posted December 31, 2010 Telling Sir Sam about the topper. Rob L. Unfortunately that one is made to fit the early S10/S15 trucks. I have a brand new A.R.E. topper I've been trying to sell for years. :(

tbrand Posted January 1, 2011 Author Posted January 1, 2011 Whoops, sorry. Re-reading the ad, I realized I made it sound like it was an MJ-specific topper. I just meant to say that it fits on an MJ longbed. Just changed it.
Garvin Posted January 3, 2011 Posted January 3, 2011 Any luck on the battery box and radiator bracket?
XJMarty Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 I am looking for the floor mini console. Let me know. thanks
