heretic Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 What happened to the grill? I wanted to buy it! either someone nabbed it or they screwed it all up pulling other shit. It's one of my pet peeves about PnP, people jacking shit up to pull the one little item they want..... it HAD beautiful door cards but you someone peeled them down on both doors to look in the door for who only knows what. It is a crime that someone sold that for scrap price :-( ^Wow... sure is... It looks to have been impounded by the CHP for some reason. The sticker was too faded out to figure out why. short rant................... In a couple of the PnP yards local to Sacramento the Nissan/Datsun trucks often have the front frames cut at the firewall & removed. The first few times I had seen it I gave it no thought. One particular time I asked the counter guy about it & he responded...... "Oh yeah, there are these dude that come up from Mexico in a big ass truck & all they buy are the front suspensions off of trucks!"...... again, I gave it not much thought..... until I actually was at the yard a couple of weeks ago & witnessed them removing the front frame section on this particular truck. They had one side cut & were getting the other side ready when I asked them if they were the dudes (3 of them) from Mexico that buy the truck frontends & if so what were they doing with them. The main dude said they were & that they repair wrecked trucks with these "good fronts".... as I stood there talking to him & feeling him out another one of the guys goes over to the drivers door with a drill & begins to remove the VIN plate..... the main dude barked something in spanish to him to which the guy looked at me & went back to work prepping the front for removal ......... CLEARLY these dudes were taking the two main components for a VIN swap, the front frame section & the door VIN plate. My guess is they take the crap back to Mexico to alter stolen vehicles from the US. 2 Quote Link to comment
69dime Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 At PnP Rancho Cordova. What a shame looks like it was a great little truck. Probably wouldn't pass smog here in Kalifornia. It even had shaved door handles, done right. Of course some jackwagon already fucked up a bunch of shit on it pulling what they wanted. Damn shame. I swear it was on Craigslist for years for $2500 in Sonoma, CA with a bad carb. Maybe it had DMV back fees. If the taillights are original it's an 85 or early 86. Parts alone would have been with the $2500 fee. Nice bumper and chromed lower valance. I should have snagged it when it was for sale. 1 Quote Link to comment
505plus5 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 ^Those little Nissan trucks were the hit back in the 80's along with the Suzuki Samurais!!! Lol Both looked so cool lowered on wide rims and tires pounding a clean loud sound system! Lol!!! 1 Quote Link to comment

I bought 40 1969 to 1972 chevell front clips for the lower a frames and steering for my racecar customers. After I got home someone called the race shop wanting to buy the clips. 1 Quote Link to comment

fritzdixxon Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 There are yards just that they almost never have anything old and if there is it is domestic. Mostly full of plastick crap from the 90s+. There is one by me with a row of ka pathfinders and hardbodys. 1 Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 '81 210 automatic wagon at LKQ in Sun Valley. I took the tach, visors and a couple miscellaneous plastic pieces that didn't crumble to the touch. Dash is worthless. Brittle and now busted. 1 Quote Link to comment

king bee66 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 if anyone from texas has noticed that the wrechapart in austin has a 240z, allow me to save them the trip. i went and looked at it the other day, the interior was stripped, and most of the metal was either rusted or mangled beyond redemption. it still had its carbs, but some dick took the hood off and its been raining here a lot lately, so id say they are core at best. it looks like someone really did a number on it. 1 Quote Link to comment
gene knight Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Micromachinery: I have my flight reserved for the 12th flying into Portland then driving down to Canby hope to see ya'll there 3 Quote Link to comment
