Justin S's non GMT400 projects

Called in to work today because our air compressor is down and its too nice of a day to be stuck at work with that going on. I got a bunch done to the Chevy. I patched the holes in the floors and put my old Sidekick seats in so my kids can play in it. I went to the local junkyard in search of some parts, and wouldn't ya know they have 2 of these. I found a trunk lid already off of one of them laying behind it in the mud. One even has a hood, but no way to grab that with my Pontiac. Ill go back and get that sometime. Looked around a little more and grabbed a grille off of an early 50s truck, and headlight buckets from an old VW squareback. I also removed the front springs, and cut part of the rear leafs off so it sits lower. Lastly, i grabbed some of the period correct Chevy hubcaps i had hanging up and rigged them to stay on the wheels. Just about ready for the front yard!

Haven't done much updating lately. I got the Chevy out in the lawn. Also decorated it with some Christmas lights. Yesterday i found this truck online, ended up having it delivered to my house for $500. 01 2500hd 6.0 auto 2wd. High miles and lots of little issues but worth the price in parts. Ill hang on to the engine and maybe the trans and sell/scrap the rest.

The plan is to have it down to a rolling chassis Saturday and maybe even on the trailer and have it ready for scrap if i feel like it Sunday.

Got the truck all parted out and scrapped. I've already doubled my money from what i spent on it, and still have the engine, trans and rear end! Since i had such good luck with that i bought this today, a 2000 Silverado. Its only got 150k but its pretty rough around the edges. I'd say another $500 well spent

Console was all busted up, and drivers seat was ripped. Nobody wants passenger or rear seats lol

Found this TJ body on Facebook Marketplace for free, so why not grab it right? It was only 5 min from my work. I figured I'd save anything possibly valuable and scrap the rest. I ended up torching off most of the rollcage bolts, which may have caught all of the seatbelt retractors on fire
