i love junkyards
GOOD SCORE there ..... Midland Texas ...... sun is tough on stuff, how much would a storage locker cost you? Might be worth while? I used to live in an apartment but it included a small storage locker in the rent for things like seasonal storage or veh stuff. There's also Craigslist?
I have a "U-pull-it" about an hour away I need to go visit some this Spring. I used to visit them some in the '70s and early '80s a lot before they got so bad, had about 4 near my home town (within an hour) .... lots of fun but I also took a 22 or 38 with snake shot. Had one down at Long Island (Va.) called "Frank's Place" and the owner Frank Hodnet got to know me and a couple buddies well enough he let me take my truck into the yard .... It was fun to browse even if we didn't buy anything .....

oh man thanks so much!!! I am so ready for this project!!! I might have to postpone because today my engine went into fail safe mode. i got code p2104. upon doing some research I'm gonna buy a new throttle position sensor and i hope that fixes the issue. The junk yard i go to is about 45 minutes away, and i don't want to get stranded. i hope i don't have to postpone to long.
I'm gonna be in Dallas from May 18-21 for the Dave Matthews Band concert. If ya want, We can meet up one day and I can show you my progress. I have completed everything except for switching the column shift to a floor shift (and I didn't get a dash, my truck is a DD and can't be down for long). I hope to get that put together this coming up weekend. Have fun

i ordered the brackets from tasca parts. 70 dollars with 2 day shipping. hopefully i have them by Wednesday or Thursday because those are my days off. wish i had weekends off but my job doesn't permit it(retail)
hopefully next week i go pick up my dash and i can start taking everything apart. i don't mind if i can't drive my truck for a while because i have my 1994 chevy beretta that i can drive.
