72 Valiant in San Bernardino pick a part

[zhandfull]

Went Pick a Part hunting today here in San Bernardino. They have a 72 Valiant that has some nice front fenders, hood and bumpers still in place. Think those might also work on a 70-72 Duster as well. Real clean rust/bondo free and straight if someone local needs them. Car was a V8 four door with disc brakes. The rotors calipers and left side spindle were gone as well as the grill and rear end. Still had upper and lower arms and K frame intact.

does it have a woodgrain radio/heater bezel?

Your fast! Don't remember if it was wood grain but I do know it was an AC car.

hmmm... Bet it was an 8 3/4 car. Wonder if Darryl got the goods.

Ha, finch would have taken everything, so it wasn't him...

I have not seen him in a yard in months.

His furniture has been absent from the last few flings and MATS IIRC.

One thing I will say is it's getting hard to find parts for these dang old cars. I was looking for a non AC alternator bracket and I finally found one on a old van. I took the steering wheel nut and washer off the Valiant. The 74 Parts car was of no use for both those items but has really been a life saver otherwise.

You sure picked a hot day to do it. I'm in the Del Rosa area and it hit 100* right after 10:00 am and kept climbing............... Sure hope you found whatever you were looking for to make it worth it. It was HOT today.

I was up early and done at the two different yards by 10:00. Came home and worked on my car for a couple hours till about 12:30 them me and the kid went swimming, followed by an afternoon nap. Then a litttle more work on the car. It was hot today but it was a dry heat.

If you're going back you could grab the vacuum operated water valve from the right inner fender for me If it shows signs of leaking... leave it
