okay, who beat me to this?

[charmcityrambler]

saw cut the entire bed and support pillars, 90% of the interior, back glass, both doors, full front clip.  Is this normal for comanches?

 

Too bad the engine didn't match mine since that's about all that was left!

 

I'm surprised this hasn't been moved to the crusher yet...

 

EDIT: Yeah I don't computer real good.  Meant for this to be in the pub but I guess it fits here too since yall are the most likely ones to have had at it :)

I see some parts they left that I'd have taken.   

[schardein]

Holy cow!  A D44 just sitting there waiting on a new home.  This is a joke, right?

How do you take the bed but not the 44.

Might be the angle but it looks like a 35 to me

I had to zoom in on my phone but it’s a 44. 

[eaglescout526]

I redact my statement. Upon further investigation it’s a 35, just the pixels mess with the axle shape to where it could be mistaken for a 44.

No, but it should be. Any time one goes to scrap, every single part that could be put to use should be saved beforehand.

 

Use all of the buffalo.

Such as?

ETA: I have the 'dreaded' 2.8 in my 1986 so none of the engine stuff that was still there worked for me (which was not a lot anyway...)

I don't know about these axle things, but if it's something that's worth saving I could see about going back out there.  It's a hike for me, but could be worth it?

[Pete M]

clean leaf springs and shock mounts for one.     but I'm not sure I'd drive a along way just for that.

It's at the LQK pick and part in Mt Airy MD.  If you go make sure you take better pics for everyone (I would have if I had known better)

Oh absolutely - I love the pick-your-part yards and keep an eye out for my daily driver all the time to see what I can snag.  I honestly didn't think I'd find a comanche at all nearby but here we are.

I have a much higher res pic if you want me to send it to you somehow

Mine are actually in great shape already, so I wasn't too worried about grabbing these .  Pretty sure every mile on the truck I bought was dry summertime highway

When I first looked at it, it looked like a D44 to me.  But now I don't think it is.  If it was a 44, it would be worth the drive.  The rest of those parts are probably only worth the drive if you happen to personally need them.

That was there back in July.  I got to it an someone had picked it pretty clean.  Obviously, others came after me.

hehe that's pretty much what it would have looked like after I left.  Except the steps of course, I 100% would have nabbed those if I thought they fit on my 86.  Probably would have been sitting in the cab, on my phone, for like 45 minutes trying to figure it out :p

Is it just me? Looks like the rear window gasket was cut... Or am I just seeing things.

Pretty certain that was a slider window and they broke it out, or maybe cut/broke it and took whatever panes they needed.

Yes, I went there to get what I could.  The rear window was broken then.  Either the previous person was a jerk, or they broke the window trying to remove it.  The gasket was still there at that time (early August).

[ghetdjc320]

Yeah, that’s a good old D35. If the knuckles on the front axle are pre 90’ I’d grab those. Lots of good parts still there from what I can see
