Went to a real scrap yard today, where they buy and sell across the scale. Cut the roof off a F100 for my brothers 54 project that we are going to chop, and on the way by the scrap pile spotted these lockers that I picked up for my shop for $20.
I got lucky today too. I needed a master cylinder push rod for the brake conversion on my '37 Buick. Who would think finding a stock push rod for a early '70s Buick would hard to find but no one sells them. I thought they'd be kind of a generic part but they aren't. Anyways, I checked Craigslist and there was a '72 Skylark advertised for parts. Turned out to be in a small junkyard close by that I hadn't known about. They had the parts I needed. No be find but it was a part I was looking for. Sometimes small things can make you happy.
