[aallison]

You picked up a running, driving 79 2-door for $600? WOW. What a score.

[maccj5]

i wouldnt exactly say i have an in with the local pic a part but i have bought so many jeep parts from them i am on a short list when the goodies show up mostly because when a jeep shows up i am on it like f.o.s

3" lift you say... parts for sale you say... hmmmm. :D

Nice score! congrats man.

[maccj5]

yes but none of the running gear keeping the engine, trans, t case
frame, axles radiator and the lift for my 78 also saving brush guard

interior is doo doo except for a few parts good electric tail gate-still works
pass door decent, side glass good, back seat not too bad, some dash parts might be alright roof rack fair, rear bumper no good gas tank and skid plate are good pass tail light fair

[maccj5]

i think the reason it hit the yard is the drivers side wasnt on fire but it was close to another vehicle that was and burnt the exterior some what
only burnt the lower drivers quarter panel and tail light does have some light rust issues

Okay...no one has said it, so I will be the first..."YOU SUCK"
Super nice find!

I am very jealous that you can find something like that in a salvage yard.
The yard around here crush anything that old and besides, it would have rust or at the very least trashed

JeepBountyHunter and I know of a yard just north of Bryan, OH that has some nicer rigs in their yard...1983 W/T Cherokee Laredo that was nice.
But, this yard is exception and not the norm.

ok YOu suck X2

[red mistress]

Well I adopted one of them. :D ;)

[brubakes]

OK, censure me like I'm Joe Wilson (http://news.google.com/news?q=Joe+Wilson+You+lie&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&ei=NB2pSrr-JoqusgPI1oj2BA&sa=X&oi=news_group&ct=title&resnum=1), but I couldn't stand it.

I have a Wagoneer in better condition, a '72, for sale in the For Sale section for only $700...

Oh, @maccj5: nice find, anyway. My local Pick 'n Pull practices "customer elimination management (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=%2Bcustomer+%2Belimination+%2Bmanagement&aq=f&oq=&aqi=)" instead of "customer service".

alright, nice find:thumbsup:

I have not been to a 'yard in 10 years since I went after a bumper for my 1st truck.

I will start hitting up the local PNP and various other local yards soon. I'm sure it will become addicting
