Scrappin an '85

Spede Demn · Dec 18, 2014

I have a very rusty '85 B2 in the shop right now that Im gonna scrap, keeping the engine, transfer case and tranny but if ne1 needs any small easy to ship oem parts I might have it. One piece side windows, think it has a rear wiper and fixed rear glass, no air or power options, no front bumper. Not much of value left but cheap parts if ne1 needs something before its scrapped.

What color interior?

Its one of the ones I got from you so its blue... but the one Im driving is red.... dash is cracked badly but I'll probably be scrappin it also in the spring. Think I told you already but theres an 90ish model about 20km from here with a red interior, guy would probably sell it for around $500. I looked at it but its too new to be of much value to me.

I'd like a red interior. Let me know when your scrapping your red one.

NP you can have the red interior except the roof liner, original cloth was junk so I recovered it with bears.

need a utility box/cubby hole thing for the ps dash if you have one intact, don't care about color

I like bears....but might have to recover those....

I'll have a spare blue dash box... and I'll likely have the dash out this weekend. PM me your mailing address so I can check shipping cost and get back to you with a price... shipping plus $5 or $10 sound OK?

The roof liner doesnt go with the interior Richard, I'll be putting it in one the other trucks. Thats a simple easy project tho... some Weldbond white glue and light weight material from a sewing supplier.... cost about $50.

NP. If you have another roof liner in good shape I can recover it. Otherwise I can wait.

They are fragile once removed so I'll leave it in the truck for now but you can have the one from this one Im stripping, even if the styofoam is broken up a bit they can be repaired easily with weldbond and paper before recovering.

I forgot to ask, is that the one with the 2" body lift?

Spede Demn · Dec 21, 2014

No this one doesnt have a lift, just alot of rust, but it runs nice so Im gonna put this engine into the lifted truck.

Spede Demn · Dec 28, 2014

Motors out, dash and steering column, thats as far as Im going for now, got the next one in the shop and hope to hear it run later today. I dont have keys for it so gonna swap the steering column, if it runs I'll fix it up... if it doesnt I got a bunch more spare parts. Hope to get the lifted truck in the shop tomorrow and get started on it, hoping I dont need to swap the engine but we'll see soon.

HoHoHo Happy New!!!!

Truck from the storage lot drives, had to change a front caliper cause it wouldnt release, brand new pads in it tho, good exhaust, no major rattles or ugly noises, 4x4 hi/lo all works. Speedo in MPH only. Little front body work and bumper needed and it should be good.

Lots of spare parts avail from the blue '85, I'll keep it until spring.

Sounds like you got a keeper. Have any pics?
