My Sunday was fulfilling

[mbred0609]

Got a call from one of my kids friends on Saturday to tell me he found a bench seat at the junkyard. Told me there was a couple other parts I might want as well. Got there to find an 89 with a basically complete interior. Same kid happened to call me Sunday and asked if I was at the yard. I was so he showed up and helped me carry everything out. Got an almost full grey trim set (minus back wall carpet and trim above it).

 

He said he needed to leave so when he helped me get the stuff out (loaded it into the bedliner and set on top of the cart) I still needed to go back for the throttle body.

 

While walking Back I decided to take an alternate route to just look around, and what do I see? An 89 long bed. Dumbfounded that there's 2 here I walk down and lo and behold an untouched navy interior. I spent 8 hours at the jy that day (open to close) and went back Wednesday for the rear bumper, wiring harness, lower dash trim in navy, and a couple odds and ends.

Not sure if I'm more impressed with your haul or the job you did raising your kids to have good friends!

How much did they hit you for on the split rear window?

I'll take the raising kids part. Makes me feel like a better human than just having a lucky day. 😎

$20 bucks for each window. So $40 total. Didn't know I was getting windows (I didn't ask enough questions so I wasn't fully prepared) so had to improvise and use a burned hood release cable and a utility knife to get them out. I almost gave up on the second one but pushed through, and it felt so good when I  finally got it out.
